The Czech noun declension types are traditionally identified by some model words which may occasionally change but usually remain in use in schools for decades. Based on the author’s recent statistical work concerning the dictionary and text frequencies of elementary declension types in Czech, this paper tries to evaluate the appropriateness of the currently used system of declension models, and suggests some possible changes in them.
This article deals with the prefixal-suffixal substantive lexical units found in names of uninhabited places on the territory of Bohemia. A majority of the lexical units analysed are derived from common nouns; formations from proper names (namely toponyms) are rare. In addition to the bases of the individual formations, the repertory of the prefixes and suffixes was investigated. A geolinguistic perspective reveals that the lexical units analysed occur most frequently in minor place-names from southwest and northeast Bohemia.
