First names in the range 5–10, given in the years 1995–2010, are, as a matter of fact, rare names. In general, the specific names are given once or twice in individual years. The geographic distribution also shows that concentrations of the names being studied are not observed in any region. Only Mazowieckie voivodeship shows names from this range being given a large number of times. It appears that parents from central and southwestern Poland are more prone to give their children rare names than is true in the eastern and northern regions of the country. Among rare feminine names, particularly popular types of names cannot be distinguished. Names chosen for boys, on the other hand, show that there are fewer “exotic” names among them, but more “old-fashioned” names, old Polish or mythological. Also, diminutive names are used to function as official names more often than for girls. If one compares the geographical distribution of diminutive names of girls and boys, it is evident that the tastes of parents choosing these names overlap regardless of gender: most often chosen in Mazowieckie and Śląskie voivodeships, least often (or not at all) in Świętokrzyskie and Podlaskie voivodeships. Conventional names, both for girls and for boys, are most willingly chosen in Śląskie voivodeship, but are not popular in Świętokrzyskie. Full old Polish names (male and female) are most noted in Mazowieckie and Małopolskie voivodeships; but however prone parents within Dolnośląskie voivodeships are to give boys such names, they are not popular among girls. For both feminine and masculine groups of names, a large number of variations are observed, phonetic, graphic, and from other languages. Also striking is the large number of names incorrectly spelled. If one compares the names being studied with earlier lists, it is quite clear that a large group of names appears only in 1995, or at most, during the years 1990–1994. Other names, after years of “oblivion,” begin to be used for nomination once more, while others lose popularity. Why this happens is difficult to say. Certainly globalization plays a significant role, finding expression in a larger and larger share of names in Anglo-American linguistic versions, as well as modeling after diminutives given as official names in that cultural domain.

This article contributes to the functional-semantic analysis of complex sentences based on connectives. Its initial section describes the corpus of contemporary Czech narrative prose utilized and the method of its quantitative processing. It then classifies temporal adverbial subordinate clauses, delimited in particular against the background of relative subordinate clauses with the connectives 'kdy' and 'kdyz', and non-adverbial clauses with temporal conjunctions into syntactic-semantic types according to connectives and other grammatical and lexical units. It also comments on the frequency of these types.

The material comes from metrical records located in the Sosnowiec Diocesan Archive in Sosnowiec. In this article the development of the naming system in Poland is presented, as well as an analysis of the history of St. Andrew the Apostle Parish in Olkusz and an analysis of the sources. The main purpose of this work was to show the frequency of names that were given in baptism to the children of the parish in Olkusz during the 18th-19th centuries. In the final part of the article, a comparison is made between the names appearing during the 18th-19th centuries with those given children during the years 1985-1990. The difference is presented in the frequency distribution as well as in the motives for giving children these names.

Approximately 6000 inanimate appellative masculine nouns in the locative singular case are used in contemporary written Czech. About 400 of these nouns use both the -u and the -e/-e ending. In about 200 nouns the two variant endings occur in a frequency equilibrium or the historical primary -e/-e prevails. The nouns which end with the -h, -g, -f consonants use only the -u ending without exception. The nouns that end with -k, -ch, -r, i.e. the consonants that alternate with -c, -s, -r, and also the nouns ending with -p, -b, -m, which do not alternate, use only the -u ending as a norm, with only a very few exceptions found in standard written Czech. If the frequency and the historical progress of the -u ending are considered, the -e/-e ending in some exceptional uses in nouns ending in -k, -ch, -r; -p, -b, -m can be regarded ungrammatical. The grammatical -e/-e ending is used alternatively, or in rare cases, exclusively, with a considerable number of those nouns which end with -d, -t, -n, but mainly with -s, -z, -l.

The aim of this paper is to thoroughly investigate the morphological marking of comparative and superlative synthetic forms of Czech adjectives and to show the role of frequency in explaining their structure. Based on functional usage-based approaches (the role of frequency effects and the relationship between frequency asymmetries and universal morphosyntactic asymmetries) and on natural written data from the Czech National Corpus, eight hypotheses on the relationship between frequency and the formal marking of Czech comparison forms were formulated. The main part of the text consists of a detailed analysis and examination of the given hypotheses, and, additionally, a complete classification of comparative forms in order to explore some of the frequency effects. The paper reaches two major conclusions: 1) the reducing frequency effect plays a significant role among comparative forms, and 2) frequency contributes to an explanation of the formal relations in individual types (classes of comparative forms). In general, frequency is revealed to be a good analytical tool which may, under controlled conditions, indicate and explain why language structures are the way they are.

We received observations from PESEL on the number of appearances of given names for use for research purposes. I chose names which are lately, according to my knowledge, very popular and compared their numbers, as well as the frequency of bearers of names, with the names included in the dictionary of Józef Bubak and the dictionary of Jan Grzenia published later, in 2002. I also used in my article the observations of Professor Edward Breza and the conclusions of the committee appointed by the Polish Language Council (consisting of Prof. Irena Bajerowa, still living at the time, Prof. Julian Kornhauser, and myself, Prof. Aleksandra Cieślikowa) to evaluate the names presented by Prof. Breza. The number and proposals for studying corresponding names (on the basis of the materials provided by PESEL) are in the article. Proposals regarding double letters (sounds) and frequently used diminutives (Kuba) were the subject of discussion at the plenary session of the Polish Language Council. Not all the committee’s proposals were accepted, which is discussed in the above article.

The paper deals with the problem of effective and aesthetic exploitation of sounds, jangle, music and silence in making an atmosphere of stress and fear in horror movies. The authors analyze the frequency spectrum of sounds and complexity of musical motif in selected samples from two movies, which represent the minimalist and maximalist approach in answering the research problem. Beside of that, the authors deal with relationship of audio and visual aspects of the movies explored. First part of the research is inspired by hypothesis of psychoacoustics dealing with physical characteristics of an unpleasant sound that causes intensive physiological reaction of a human organism. The authors assume that sound with these characteristics could be one of the reasons of an emotional reaction a viewer experiences when watching a horror movie. Next area on which this research is focused is the use of noises. According to psychoacoustics, noise affects the perception of other sounds, thus it is able to aid building of an atmosphere and tension in the movie. In the third part, the authors compare the complexity and variations of musical motifs of both of the movies. Motifs with lack of a structure and rigid repetitiveness can be boring for a viewer, which may be very counterproductive in terms of examined film genre. In the final part of this research, the authors deal with the relationship of audio and visual aspects of movies explored.
