This paper examines several facets of the function of precedent names. The author emphasises that, on the one hand, precedent names fully retain their properties as proper names and, on the other, they develop their precedence-related properties. Thus the perceptual invariant acquired by a precedent name in the respective cultural and linguistic community will affect that name's perception whenever it occurs in a discourse: both when it denotes its primary reference object and when it is used as a stylistic device to produce a characterisation.
本文研究了先例名称功能的几个方面。 作者强调，一方面，先例名称完全保留其属性作为专有名称，另一方面，它们发展了与优先级相关的属性。 因此，在各自的文化和语言社区中，由先例名称获得的感知不变性将每一次在话语中出现时影响该名称的感知：无论是当其表示其主要参考对象时，还是在用作样式化手段来产生特征时。
