The conducting of onomastic research in mountainous regions has its own tradition of many years’ standing and is connected with conviction of the great cognitive value of oronyms and hydronyms that appear in such regions. Linguistics assigning a historical perspective to research on culture shows that language, as a basic tool of man’s communication, contains in its structures information about his thinking, wishes, the world in which he lived, and himself. The purpose of this article is to present possibilities of using proper names in research on the linguistic view of the world on the basis of selected elements of naming in Gorce. The objective is realized with the aid of classification of toponyms according to their motivational meaning, and thus containing an anthropological formulation of the issue.
