This paper shows that the term modified Proper Name, which cornes from a particular logical theory (Burge), is not actually relevant to describe Proper Names from a linguistic point of vue. It is first pointed out that the use of this term is not clear, as we never know whether it reflects a syntactic or a semantic level of description. The main idea brought out is that the interprétation of a Proper Name within a sentence is regularly accounted for by combining the définition of that Proper Name in the lexicon with the meanings of the otlier constituants of the Noun Phrase. Denominative interpretations are a special type of constructions, because (lie combination with the indefinite article leads to delete the identification instruction in the definition of the Proper Name; the terms modified Proper Name could possibly be used, in a strictly semantic acception, to caracterize that special type of constructions.
