    Summary

    If I were to point out some points [...] which I think should be taken into account in the construction of a comprehensive theory of proper names, it would be [...] that the investigations should start not with a general grammar and a general lexicon but with the grammars and the lexica of individual people. A name is a name even if used by two persons only.
