摘　　要：The article examines the cognitive and pragmatic potential of proper names within literary discourse. Since the question of the semantics of proper names is rather acute within the modem linguistic studies, the research presupposes the analysis of the proper names＇ functioning on a text level, taking into account their cognitive and cultural meaning. The research is carried out within the analysis of the American literary works of XVIIth-XXth centuries. The method of cognitive discourse analysis helps to interpret the knowledge behind the meaning of proper names. The diachronic scope of the study is the basis for the comparative analysis of the representation of the conceptual sphere elements of the American society in literary works of different epochs. The results of the research show that proper names may represent the elements of cultural-historical continuum of a linguistic community on a text level.
