The article focuses on the mutual relationship between toponomastics and environmentalism. At the moment, their existing contacts are not too intensive. The works and texts that could be considered as environmentalistic using the evidence of place-names and their analysis are presented in the paper. The author shows their relations and refers to the possible risk of maximization of the evidence of place-names and minor place-names as illustrated by the example of 'wolf place-names', e.g. Vlcovice, Vlci jamy, Vlci hrdlo.

This study focuses on the current situation in Czech research of toponymy (place names), particularly urbanonymy (urban names, predominantly street names). The study of place names offers considerable potential for interdisciplinary approaches to research; however, scholars (both in onomastics and in non-onomastic disciplines) currently lack interest in such cooperation, and this represents a major barrier to the development of mutually inspirational research in the field. The article outlines three main reasons underlying this situation: the long-established tradition of Czech onomastic research drawing on etymological and historical approaches towards place names; the prevailing emphasis on onomastic material; and an overly simplistic view of what constitutes onomastic research and methodology as well as of their application in interdisciplinary cooperation. In response to this situation, the author discusses a modern research concept which has the potential to offer a new methodological impulse to Czech onomastics and restore it to its former status as a respected discipline — the concept of the linguistic landscape. This concept could be successfully applied to research exploring the urbanonymy of modern Czech cities built during the post-war era — such as the new Socialist cities dating from the 1950s, or concrete housing estates. However, several problems need to be discussed — including the proprial status of urbanonyms, the definition of the urban area, and the relations between standardized (predominantly official) and non-standardized (unofficial, popular) forms of urban place names.

This text focuses on new type of place names created as for the advertisement of newly built residences and blocks of flats. They are presented as new, sunny, city or country areas suitable for living, e.g. Nove Petriny, Slunecni vrch, City Park Jihlava and Vyhledy Hostivar. They use mostly English appellatives such as city, hill, park and river and the English forms of place names to raise the prestige of the real estate on offer, e.g. Barrandov Hills, Danube House and Sun House.

The aim of the article is to show an onomastic aspect of the Czech commemorative place name Havirov coined for a new socialistic city founded in 1955. This place name was chosen from more than 2,000 proposals. The public competition arranged to create a politically and ideologically convenient proper name brought very interesting linguistic material. On the one hand, the proposed names were created according to the common models of Czech place names, a type with ending -ov was the most frequent, e.g. Bezrucov, Leninov, Mirov, Uhlov. On the other hand, these names reflected the influence of Soviet toponymy. There appeared the non-Czech suffixes as -sk (Budovatelsk), -grad/-hrad (Ocelograd, Banohrad), and forms like compound names (Zivnobyt), abbreviations (Drapi, Chrc) or place names created from other proper names without any suffix (Fucik, Molotov, Moskva). We focused our attention on Havirov's system of street names as well. This system was proposed as one complex with the city name. Street names in Havirov were motivated by the names of persons and symbols connected with the communist era and its ideology, e.g. Korcaginova, Leninova, Pionyru or Rosenbergovych.

The text focuses on non-scholarly etymology. This language phenomenon is illustrated using Czech place names. Attention is devoted to the following problems: 1. The method of non-scholarly interpretation of the words. 2. The role of non-scholarly etymology as a rhetorical device in medieval literature. 3. The usage of the non-scholarly etymology of place names in the 19th and 20th centuries, i.e. as a method of historical work, its usage in advertising and its influence on the standardisation of changes in the place names.

The article focuses on the subject of classification of commemorative place names. The main purpose of the research is to show the relation between the motivation for the place name and its linguistic form, i.e. the toponymic models and particular formants used to create a place name. The specificity of commemorative place names is illustrated on the one hand through the use of traditional toponymic models and formants and on the other hand through their motivation. Not only personal names, but also place names and chrematonyms appear in the bases of commemorative place names. This issue is illustrated using Czech place names and their development in the context of the Central European countries and the Soviet Union (and later, the Russian Federation) during the 20th century.

The paper focuses on proper names (personal and place names, chrematonyms), and their thematization in Czech ideological speeches. The paper examines texts written by Czech exile politicians and presented in the London and Moscow radio broadcasts between 1939 and 1945, in the course of the Second World War. The texts reflect a wide scale of Czech politicians ranging from the Democrats (National Socialists Edvard Beneš, Prokop Drtina, Jaroslav Stránský; Christian Democrat Jan Šrámek) to the Communists (Klement Gottwald, Zdeněk Nejedlý) and their sympathizers (Social Democrat Zdeněk Fierlinger); speeches written by non-partisan Jan Masaryk are also included. Thematization is presented as an important language device to express, or support, the text tendency. The process of thematization is realized in two structures. In the deep text structure, it is realized as a semantic change (proper name re-semantization), in the surface (visible) structure, it is expressed by collocations, onomastic allusions, metaphors, or metonymies.
