Proper names are regarded as “special” linguistic signs, whose translation possibility is judged very differently in the linguistic literature. This is related to the supposed “meaninglessness” or the limited meaning of proper names. This article aims to shed light on the translation practice regarding proper names by means of an empirical study in the language pair German-Hungarian. To this end, an online survey was conducted among Hungarian professional translators, asking about translational attitudes on the one hand, and practical translation solutions on the other. The rendering of names in translation thus consists of a mesh of linguistic, cultural and practical decisions.

Non official names of secondary schools This article registers and describes non oficial names of secondary schools, made by teenage community. Analysed lexical innovations reveal affinity to the group, which uses “its” language called by linguists youth slang, sociolekt, pupils or teenage lingo or pupils jargon. Examined formative neologisms reflect general development tendencies of the language – tendency for efficiency, which is realised in tendency for using acronims and tendency for creating expressive forms. The article emphasises that non oficial names are created not only for naming purposes but mainly pragmatic ones. In the thesis few reflections are shown which are linked to correctness of analysed secondary names, as there are doubts as to the correctness of their spelling and lexical-semantic cohesion.

The aim of this article is to analyze how the names of civil courts are treated in the examination tests for sworn translator candidates in Poland. The analysis is an attempt to distinguish useful norms for the evaluation of the translations performed during the tests. These norms could also be helpful as didactic support for future translators. Official benchmarks for the evaluation of the exams are presented only in a ministerial order, i.e. in a document which, by nature, remains very general. The only objective way do identify the actual criteria applied by the examination boards is to analyze the results of their evaluation of the examination papers. The analysis of about sixty examination papers for the French-Polish language pair shows that implicit norms for the translation of French and Polish names of civil courts are often less stringent than those explicitly set out in the published benchmarks for translators. But sometimes, the evaluation board does not accept solutions which comply with the norms of the Code of Sworn Translator (the main manual for translators), or the same solution is evaluated differently by the board members. These inconsistencies could be eliminated by entrusting the correction of each paper to two evaluators and forcing them to consult on the evaluation mode before correcting. The analysis of the results of the evaluation does not allow setting norms that could be used in the guides for the candidates to the profession of a sworn translator, because the evaluation system is deficient. Our analysis confirms the assumptions of the authors who, on the basis of available data, but without access to corrected examination papers, expressed doubts as to the correctness of the examination. Their assumptions concerning, among others, the development and publication of information on the translation strategy (strategies) expected by the examination boards and on the details of the scoring system, remain known.

Role-playing games (RPG) provide a great opportunity to research creative word-formation. This article concentrateson RPG systems and represented worlds as well as proper nouns that can be found in them. The author presents the history of RPG, explains the core elements of the games (such as Game Master or RPG session) and compares the most popular and important systems. The article also explains how players create the names for their characters. The analysis is based on the examples taken from the Fallathan’s Chronicles game.

The aim of the article is to examine how proper names are delivered in the translation of J. Tuwim and J. Brzechwa’s poems for children into Russian. There appear so-called „sings of unfamiliarity” in the structure of the rendered text. They are connected with the change of a group of recipients of the poetry. We can talk about adaptation or exoticisation depending on the presence or lack of the „sings of unfamiliarity”. The presented analysis shows that there are more adaptation technignes (used in the translation of the verse). Owing to this strategy, the rendering corresponds with the age of the special reader and their perception of the world.

The article concerns verbal fluency in dementia in the course of Alzheimer’s disease. The test described allows one to detect dysfunctions within linguistic processes, semantic memory or dysfunction of executive functions already present in the early stages of the disease, when no attention is paid to the dysfunction of language functions. The article compares the results of verbal fluency tests in selected categories of proper nouns and common nouns, and determines the effect of the Alzheimer’s disease stage on the test result. Comparison of the test group results with various degrees of dementia indicates a progressive decrease in verbal fluency, adequately to the degree of dementia, regardless of the type of task. The experiment shows different profiles of verbal tasks in terms of common nouns and proper nouns.

The aim of this paper is to analyse Italian nominal groups containing proper nouns. The article discusses two syntagma types with elliptical structure as well as analogical structures where the common and proper nouns are joined by the preposition “di”. The classification and analysis of nominal groups have been carried out on the basis of the function of the proper noun in the syntagma. Two groups of syntagmas have been distinguished: one with the proper noun functioning as a superordinate constituent and one with the proper noun functioning as a modifier. In the former type (where the proper noun is a superordinate constituent), the common noun functions as a descriptive or restrictive appositive. The syntagmas, where the proper noun functions as a modifier, are of particularly diverse character. In such cases, the possibility to paraphrase them by means of the analysed structures constitutes an additional criterion. Consequently, three syntagma types have been distinguished as represented by the following examples: il progetto Leonardo (which does not allow for an alternative synonymous version, *il progetto di Leonardo), il governo Monti (where the prepositional structure il governo di Monti may be used interchangeably) and un quadro di Rubens (which does not allow for an alternative synonymous version with the ellipsis of the preposition “di” *un quadro Rubens).

Polish inflexional morphology, with its rich inventory of rules relating to noun declension, also involves surnames of foreign origin. Generally, these surnames should be inflected just as Polish common names or adjectives are, depending on the inflexional paradigm to which they belong. However, the declension of foreign nouns involves various complications of phonetic, orthographic, and, most of all, inflexional natures, not only because of a relatively high number of rules governing the Polish morphological system, but also because some of these rules have not yet been determined in a definitive manner and the declension itself, in some cases, is optional. For this reason, speakers of Polish, to avoid inflecting a given surname, often prefer to adopt various editorial strategies, so to speak; in their texts, however, we can still find numerous incorrect inflexional forms and inconsistent or outright wrong inflexional strategies. With this article, then, I intend to expose the detailed rules relating to the declension of Italian surnames in Polish and analyse the occurrences of these surnames in Polish texts that have appeared in Italica Wratislaviensia.

La morfologia flessiva polacca, con il suo ricco inventario di regole relative alla declinazione sostantivale, coinvolge ugualmente i cognomi di provenienza straniera. In linea di massima, simili cognomi andrebbero declinati come nomi comuni o aggettivi polacchi, a seconda del paradigma flessivo cui appartengono. In realtà, la declinazione dei sostantivi stranieri comporta vari problemi di natura fonetica, ortografica e, soprattutto, flessiva, non solo per via di un numero relativamente alto di regole che governano il sistema morfologico polacco, ma anche perché alcune regole non sono state determinate in maniera definitiva e la stessa flessione, in alcuni casi, non è obbligatoria. In effetti, gli utenti della lingua polacca, per evitare di declinare un dato cognome, preferiscono spesso ricorrere a varie strategie redazionali. Nei loro testi non mancano, però, né forme sbagliate dei cognomi, né strategie flessive incoerenti o addirittura scorrette. Con il presente lavoro si intende, quindi, esporre in maniera possibilmente più dettagliata le regole relative alla declinazione dei cognomi italiani in lingua polacca insieme all’analisi delle occorrenze di tali cognomi nei testi polacchi apparsi su Italica Wratislaviensia.

The purpose of the article is to reveal the interconnection of the three close linguistic concepts: arealogy, stratigraphy and the oikonymic landscape. The tasks, due to the purpose, were as follows: 1) to describe the theoretical background of arealogy, stratigraphy, and the oikonymic landscape; 2) to analyze oikonyms (place names) of the 15th century ending in *-j- to illustrate theoretical points. The reference base for the analysis is the diachronic oikonymic material of Ukraine. In the article, the empirical and descriptive methods have been used, which means referring to the little-known oikonymic reference material - the historical-comparative method of onyms analysis. The stratigraphic method involves quantitative characteristics, space localization of geographical names, determining the chronology of oikonyms. By means of the cartographic method the areal of oikonyms of the 15th century ending in *-j- has been studied. So, arealogy, stratigraphy and the oikonymic landscape are connected by one concept – space, i.e. spreading of some phenomenon (in our research these are names of the 15th century ending in *-j-) visualized on the map-chart, which records spreading of the phenomenon (the areal of oikonyms (place names) of the 15th century ending in *-j-) in diachrony (or at some chronological stage – the 15th century (stratigraphy) on the territory of Ukraine; partial landscape, as names ending in *-j- are only a small part of the general oikonymic landscape). It is the map chart that confirms the areal of oikonyms at one of the chronological stages of stratigraphy within territorial boundaries of the oikonymic landscapes (see the map chart).

Celem artykułu jest ujawnienie powiązania trzech bliskich pojęć językowych: arealogii, stratygrafii i krajobrazu ojkonimicznego. Zadania, ze względu na ich cel, były następujące: 1) opisać teoretyczne podstawy arealogii, stratygrafii i krajobrazu ojkonimicznego; 2) dokonać analizy ojkonimów (nazw miejscowych) z XV wieku kończących się na *-j- w celu zilustrowania punktów teoretycznych. Podstawą analizy był diachroniczny materiał ojkonimiczny Ukrainy. W artykule wykorzystano metody empiryczne i opisowe, co oznaczało odwołanie się do mało znanego ojkonimicznego materiału odniesienia – zastosowano historyczną metodę porównawczą analizy rzeczowników właściwych. Metoda stratygraficzna objęła charakterystykę ilościową, lokalizację przestrzenną nazw geograficznych oraz określenie chronologii ojkonimów. Za pomocą metody kartograficznej zbadano grupę ojkonimów z XV wieku kończących się na *-j-. Tak więc arealogia, stratygrafia i pejzaż ojkonimiczny połączone są jedną koncepcją – przestrzenią, tj. rozprzestrzenianie się jakiegoś zjawiska (w naszych badaniach są to nazwy z XV w. kończące się na *-j-) jest wizualizowane na mapie topologicznej, która rejestruje rozprzestrzenianie się zjawiska (areał ojkonimów (nazw miejscowych) z XV wieku kończących się na *-j-) w diachronii (lub na pewnym etapie chronologicznym – XV wiek (stratygrafia) na terytorium Ukrainy; krajobraz częściowy, gdyż nazwy kończące się na *-j- to tylko niewielka część ogólnego krajobrazu ojkonimicznego). To właśnie mapa topologiczna potwierdza obszar ojkonimów (nazw miejscowych) na jednym z chronologicznych etapów stratygrafii w granicach terytorialnych krajobrazów ojkonimicznych (patrz mapa topologiczna).

SUMMARYOycomymic landscape is a complex linguistic-historical multicomponent system which we can analyze via stratigraphic method. It is based on the study of oyconymic phenomenon or process in chronological sequence. Geographical names are specific linguistic units which, in addition to lingual and temporal, have territorial parameters. Areas, identified as a result of mapping, become special onomastic text. Arealogy, stratigraphy and oyconymic landscape are connected by one concept – space, and chart respectively, which provides the visualization of the spreading of phenomenon (area) in diachrony (stratigraphy) on the determined territory (landscape).

Tworzenie nazwisk i imion w języku chińskim kieruje się odmiennymi regułami niż na Zachodzie. Sama kategoria „imienia” i „nazwiska” jest pewną kalką zachodniej koncepcji nazw osobowych nakładaną na język chiński. Zarówno tworzenie imion (名字 míngzì), jak i nazwisk (姓氏 xìngshì) oraz pseudonimów (号 hào) ma swoją tradycję. Chińczycy używają ok. 200 nazwisk i nieskończonej liczby imion. W tworzeniu osobowych nazw własnych istotnym elementem jest obraz znaku, który niesie ze sobą treści określające nazywaną osobę, a nie jedynie fonetyka. „Konwertowanie” imion i nazwisk europejskich na chińskie za pomocą fonetyka prowadzić może do szeregu nieporozumień znaczeniowych. Obraz znaku często komunikuje treści związane z charakterem, wrażliwością, pragnieniami, osobowością. Zostało to ukazane na przykładzie nazw Romana Malka (馬雷凱 Mǎ Léikǎi) i Dariusza Klejnowskiego-Różyckiego (柯達理 Kē Dálǐ).

EN

Creating names in Chinese is guided by rules different than in the West. The very category of a “name” and a “surname” is a kind of a carbon copy of the Western concept of personal names, applied to the Chinese. Both the formation of names (名字 míngzì) and surnames (姓氏 xìngshì) as well as nicknames (hào 号) has its own tradition. The Chinese use about 200 surnames and an infinite number of names. While creating personal names – the character image is an important element which carries the contents of defining a person called in a specific way, not only the phonetics. The “converting” of the European names into Chinese, using phonetics, can lead to a series of misunderstandings in meaning. The character image often communicates content related to the nature, sensitivity, desires and person’s personality. This has been shown on the example of Roman Malek (马雷凯 Mǎ Léikǎi) and Dariusz Klejnowski-Różycki (柯达理 Kē Dálǐ).
