The text is focused on the toponymy of the industrial area of the Ostrava and Karviná regions (the Czech Republic); the research being centred on (the local) exonyms. Exonyms were used for naming coal-miners’ colonies and districts, or newly built housing estates. The oldest layer of exonyms-based toponymy originated at the beginning of the post-1850 industrial development (Amerika, Mexiko, Nový York), whereas the youngest one is represented by the post-WWII place names (Balaton, Donbas, Korea, Stalingrad). Later, exonyms have stopped forming the base for new place names, cf. sporadic names, such as Bronks, Dalas and Fukušima. The reason is the development of global communication, a rapid information flow, and tourism; names of places abroad have been losing their unique status. This fact is also evidenced by a nearly zero knowledge of the place names origin. Their spatial distribution reflects coal mines and heavy industry areas in the regions - the exonymic place names are spread concentrically in the Ostrava area, whereas they are spread evenly in the Karviná one.

The anoikonyms in Bohemia originated quite often from the Czech exonyms. While processing the Czech minor place names the semantic „Classification of anoikonyms“ by Vladimír Šmilauer (published in 1960 and with some supplements in 1973 again) is used, but they are not singled out independently. In the time of finishing this „Classification...“ the term „exonym“ was not known and used in Czech. Therefore it is necessary to include into Šmilauer’s „Classification...“ as an independent subsection of section 94 Czech minor place names, with eventual further dissections 941 for biblical geographical names, 942 for names linked with war events, and 943 for other Czech exonyms.

b2_Exonyms, as all proper names, have their onymic functions, and there is always one dominant function which refers to the receivers of the communication process. The 16th century Czech texts on the New World were created in order to inform people about the new phenomena which were to change their cognition.

The study is aimed at variants and variation of place names in the Czech political discourse in the period between 1945 and 1989. It is illustrated with the place names Podkarpatská Rus / Zakarpatská Ukrajina (Carpathian Ruthenia / Zakarpatia), Bahía de Cochinos / Zátoka sviní (Bahía de Cochinos / Bay of Pigs), and Falklandy / Malvíny (the Falkland Islands / Islas Malvinas). The usage of a particular form (variant) and the substitution of a place name for its variant reflect the process of their politicization and ideological presentation in that-time political journalism. It also shows their usage in symbolic and metaphorical ways through their occurrences in specific collocations. The analysis is based on the Rudé právo newspaper, the official medium of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia.
