Abstract:This paper aims at analysing the unconventional uses of Romanian toponyms in certain idioms in Romanian and advertising slogans in English. The theoretical framework of the research consists of principles of semantics, semiotics, psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics. The study explores the relationship that exists between the meanings of these expressions and the proper names employed in their construction. In this context, the properhood and appropriateness of the onymic units is also discussed.
Key words:toponym, idiom, slogan, semantics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics
