Specific Aspects of Literary Anthroponyms There is not a general agreement which kind of names should be considered to be “literary names”. According to my opinion ALL names in literary work are literary. However, not only proper names are able to identify character, in some cases (depending on the context of the whole story) some appellatives can be interpreted in the same way as proper names. Names create special structure in the text. Recognizing of this structure is a part of reader’s activity during the process of reading. Names can give us information about time and location of the story. We can confront names in literary work with real onomastic system. Literary names can be authentic (calling real historical persons or places), realistic (names existing in real system) and fictive (created by the author). The knowledge of the character is very important for our understanding of names. There are different ways of calling literary persons, animals, living machines or creatures. The last part of my paper is focused on literary names in communication. I distinguish three kinds of communication: inside the text (using names between characters, calling etc.), inter-text (associations with character from another text who have the same name) and social (names from well-known literary works and their using as parts of general culture knowledge).

This paper addresses two most common comments on corpus linguistics: 1) a corpus is merely a card file index in electronic form and 2) corpus linguistics covers only corpora construction and linguistic marking. We argue that a corpus consists of much more complex material and it can be exploited in unprecedented ways. In response to the second question, we point out that corpus linguistics is an independent linguistic discipline with substantial contributions to linguistic theory and language description.

This contribution discusses ‘reviews with excerpts’, a popular means by which the periodical Světová literatura (World Literature) reported on non-Czech writing in the 1960s. Using one particular review with excerpts, written by Sergej Machonin (1918–1995), of the Polish writer Julian Stryjkowski’s Austeria (The Inn, 1966), the author demonstrates Machonin’s interpretation of this novel, which is determined by his coming from a certain generation, culture, and political situation.

Knowledge of Anoikonyms (Minor Place Names) in Rosice Within an extensive research of anoikonyms in Moravia and Silesia, the anoikonyms from Rosice were collected. The article presents results of investigation carried on among 17 representatives of all generations of the residents of Rosice in the autumn of 2009. The aim was to ascertain whether the anoikonyms recorded in 1965 are still (in 2009) known and actively used. The representatives of the oldest generation acknowledged the familiarity of the largest number of anoikonyms, whereas the representatives of the youngest generation knew only a few of them (in some cases they use a certain anoikonym for a different object than in 1965, see e. g. anoikonyms Rocochác, Štepnice, U Svaté Trojice).

The first part of the article presents various approaches to the functions of proper names in literature and lists those which are most commonly encountered in literary onomastics. The primary theoretical point of departure is based on German (K. Gutschmidt, V. Birus, D. Lamping, F. Debus), Polish (A. Wilkoń) and Czech (M. Knappová, S. Pastyřík) scholarly works. The second, analytical, part of the article examines functions from two different perspectives: name – character – reader – author and name – text – literary context – cultural context. It argues that the functions should not be viewed in isolation, but rather, it is necessary to explore the ways in which they are interrelated, complement each other and work together. A single name can have multiple functions. The evaluation of these functions is always based on the relationship between the name and its bearer (literary figure) and is interpreted in the context of a particular work. Names are understood as a part of the onymic system of the work (the so-called “name landscape”) and as an element of the overall construction of the artistic text. Although it is thus far just a note, not a comprehensive concept, the article aims to contribute to the debate on functions.

The article is concerned with echoes of the Nibelungenlied (The Song of the Nibelungs) in the context of the literature of the Czech National Revival, particularly in the Rukopis královédvorský. It turns out that the literary-historical assessment of the Nibelungenlied changed in connection with firm position of the manuscript forgeries in the culture of the Czech National revival, from uncritical acceptance of the Nibelungenlied model to attempts to rate it above the Manuscripts as a document of the highly developed culture of the early Czechs. The debates comparing two pillars of German and Czech literature were incorporated, through a modified understanding of Herder’s conception of the Slavs and Tacitus’ conception of the Teutons, in a primarily oppositional distinction between Slav literary imagery and a Teutonic literary representation of the world. Similarities can, however, be found at the core of the problem. In addition to analogical debates about the origins of the two works and their authorship, in spite of the inclusion of both works in supranational cultures (Slav versus Germanic), different conceptions (Czech versus German) of the literary foreshadowing of the make-up of the romantic literary self could take shape against the background of a comparison of the two documents. On the basis of the example of the revivalist interpretation of the two poetic works, the article demonstrates that both types of hero, though originating from the desire for an unattainable ideal, but at the level of motives, aims, and objectives, they represent two different literary approaches. In the revivalist essays, shared literary features (from similar to antithetical) were interpreted on the basis of the aesthetic approaches of, for example, František Palacký (1798–1876), Jan Erazim Vocel (1803–1871), and Václav Bolemír Nebeský (1818–1882), apparently critical of German romantic literary theories, for example, those of the Schlegels.

Performativnost a gramatické kategorie slovesa

EN
The article deals with specific features pertaining to the verbal categories of person, mood (partially voice), tense and aspect in illocutionary verbs arising from the occurrence of mentioned verbs in performatively used utterances (in the basic form of the 1st person singular indicative, present tense imperfective). The notion of performativity is explained as a pragmatic value of an utterance, based on the accomplishment of a deed (act) denoted by the lexical meaning of a verbum dicendi while the core of the speech act performance consists of the coincidence of locution and illocution (in an Austinian sense). The essential prerequisite making the utterance suitable for performative use is deemed to lie in its temporal qualities, shown through Reichenbach’s tense deconstruction.

Pojetí interjekcí v některých českých mluvnicích

The paper examines interjections and their position in the Czech language system, focusing on their definition and classification. We first concentrate on problematic transitions between interjections and paralinguistic cues (sounds) and then on the definition of interjections from three basic perspectives – morphological, syntactic and semantic. We review the concept of interjections in some Czech grammars and provide commentary and critical remarks regarding it. We conclude with the proposal of an all-embracing definition and a new classification of interjections.

Functional Element First Name in Living Personal Names in Paprad The article analyses one of the functional members of unofficial personal names in the Stará Turá Kopanica part Paprad. The first (Christian) names functional members are the most representative among living names and this in all three classes: married man, married women, single persons. Most frequent are the hypocoristic forms (see their suffixes), there exist official, dialectical and foreign language forms. First names are in the form of nominative singular, names with a kinship motivation use forms of genitive, locative, accusative singular and nominative of possessive adjectives. First names as functional members can stand independently in living names, but most often they link with other functional members.

This article is based on a Hrabal motif from the introduction of his novel Vita nuova (1986), diagonal reading. Unlike most interpretations I argue that this concept need not be bound merely to the motif of the fluency of the text and the absence of punctuation, but also to the motif of the halting of the reading process, which I shall provisionally call a ‘gap’. Comparing Hrabal’s text with passages from Barthes’s Le plaisir du texte (1973), I endeavour to demonstrate that Hrabal has formulated a paradoxical experiment, probably unique in modern literature: he de­mands inattentive reading whereas the modern experimental novel demands attentive reading. (Barthes links inattentive reading with the classical narrative, which he terms the ‘lisible’, readerly). In short, the uniqueness of this experiment consists in Hrabal’s actually writing, as he stated, something that he assumed the reader would not read.

Some remarks on cultural connotations of urbanonyms and idiomacity in a contrastive perspective Urbanonyms, such as street names, square names and names of other places in the city, can carry cultural connotations, which is of great importance in a contrastive perspective. Some urbanonyms have connotations of universal character, while the connotations of others are of national or local character. The typology of cross-linguistic equivalents of urbanonyms carrying cultural connotations is presented and discussed. The knowledge of connotations of proper names including urbonyms is part of being bilingual and bicultural. The connotative potential of urbanonyms requires a proper lexicographic description which is vital in foreign lanaguge teaching and translation.

Model Concept of Pragmatonyms Pragmatonyms represent a not much investigated field of onomastics, which dis-poses of plenty of stimuli for scholarly research not only in the field of onomastics. We focused our attention to the formation of extra-linguistic (motivation models) fea-tures of pragmatonyms in dairy industry. One of the most frequent motivation models (regardless of whether it holds the function of a dominant or minor attribute) is the motivation model C (attribute, chara-cteristic feature), within the scope of which we are able to distinguish following de-nomination motives: inherent (composition of the product, its shape, its size, taste /flavour/, quantity, packing, colour, texture, quality) and/or adherent features (identifi-cation of the product, its purpose, consumer character, healthy diet, fitness of the surroundings which the products come from, or traditional mode of production). Further, the motivation model B is present. It designates directly the specific type of product. Motivation model A is also relatively frequent. Geographical adherence to the respective producer, either direct or indirect (symbolic) constitutes a denominative motivation. Motivation model D that indicates possessive relation is less frequent. Proper na-mes (anthroponyms, literary proper names and logonyms) and to a lesser extent the appellatives usually manifest possession. The analysed onymic corpus shows that it is impossible to establish clear motiva-tion of certain pragmatonyms. Therefore, motivation model X is to be taken into consideration. It covers pragmatonyms with equivocal motivation sign.

On the Development of Anoikonyms (Minor Place Names) in Opava Region since World War II The paper deals with the development of anoikonyms in four villages in the Opava region following the expulsion of citizens of German nationality, after land consolidation in individual four co-operative farms and then after the integration of these originally independent farms into one great agricultural unit. Special attention is paid to the usage of the anoikonyms at present, when large (up to one hundred hectares) tracts of land were formed and when only a fragment of the former number of people works in agriculture. These are mainly tractor drivers, servismen, leading organization workers. The number of people who need the anoikonyms in their communication is therefore very limited. Among others, the author answers the question which names are given to the new pieces of land by the remaining private farmers. Special attention is paid to the names of forests and meadows. Also the question is dealt with how the new anoikonyms preserve the phonologic and morphologic character of local dialects. The author comes to the conclusion that at present, only a negligible number of old tract names is being used and that the new anoikonyms are formed according to one model: the two-word prepositional names using both the personal names indicating farmhouses of the respective persons, and the important orientation points.

This article outlines an approach to a literary text, which enables one, by means of the terms Weltanschauung (world view) and interpretation community, to interpret the symbol system of a work and to put it into the historical context of its period. In the first part, the author compares the definitions of Weltanschauung and Weltbild in the German philosophical tradition, in which one observes the beginning of the conceptualization of the relationship between the individual and observation of the world. The second part of the article is a comparison of the ideological interpretation of the literary text, typical of Marx-Leninism, and of the kind of interpretation that does not start from an already agreed standpoint, but seeks instead to describe the Weltanschauung structure of the concept under observation. A productive definition of ‘world view’ was offered by the Center Leo Apostel, Brussels, which institutionalized this sort of research on a broad interdisciplinary basis. The article concludes with several remarks on the means by which an author’s Weltanschauung appears to us when reading his or her work, and also on the dynamics of the Weltanschauung in connection with historical change.

The Elmtree in Moravian and Silesian Anoikonyms – Minor Place Names The item focuses on appearance of names of the elmtree in Moravan and Silesian anoikonyms. Next to the anoikonyms coming from the noun jilm (e.g. Jilmík, Jilmová), also the names coming from original Slavic names of this tree were recorded: vaz (e. g. Vazová) and břest (e. g. Břestek, Břístí). The anoikonyms coming from the noun břest seem to be typical for Moravia and Silesia (see the maps No. 1–3).

The article describes in outline one part of the Papers of František Hrubin (1910–1971), which are deposited in the Archives of the Museum of Czech literature – namely, that related to his correspondence and his readers. It then considers letters that express the role of Hrubín’s works in non-literary life (during the war), his readers’ attitudes to his works (in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1960s), and the demands on the poet and his work (1950s). It concludes by presenting responses linked with Hrubín’s speeches at the Second Congress of Czechoslovak Writers.

The Interpretation of the Oronym Ždánidla Ždánidla is a name of a peak in Šumava Mountains. Etymology of this name is not clear. Toponyms such as Day, Ždánice or Ždánov are derived from anthroponym Ždán. However, we do not interpret Ždánidla as a name connected with this anthroponym. According to our opinion Ždánidla could be related to old Czech verb ždáti “wait”, “expect”. Czech name Ždánidla could be also created according to the German name of this peak, i. e. Steindlberg.

The Suffixes -cka and -acka in Bohemian Minor Place Names The article provides an analysis of the lexical units derived using the suffixes -cka and -acka that occur in the minor place names from the territory of Bohemia. The analysed deverbative lexical units are most frequently formed using the suffix -cka, which is attached to the infinitive verbal stem. The suffix -acka is usually attached to nominal (both substantive and adjective) bases. The formations from appellative (both substantive and adjective) bases are less frequent in minor place names than the formations from proper names (both anthroponyms and toponyms). The geolinguistic view has shown that the minor place names including the lexical units formed by the suffix -acka from nominal bases are geographically marked: their occurrence is limited to the eastern half of Bohemia.
