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.

The discussions in Slovak linguistics of the 1950s were dealing with several fundamental issues of grammar, lexicology and lexicography. These discussions resulted from the actual and intense development within grammatical and lexicographical descriptions of Slovak language that led to publication of the Dictionary of Slovak Language (Slovník slovenského jazyka, 1959 – 1968) and the still unrivalled Morphology of Slovak Language (Morfológia slovenského jazyka, 1966). J. Ružička, as a head of the Department of Standard Language and, later, as a director of the whole Ľudovít Štúr Institute of Linguistics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, as well as a member of several committees of the International Committee of Slavists was at that time one of the leading figures within research of Slovak grammar. Sixty years after the publication of his study Controversial Issues of Slovak Morphology, this paper touches the core of those times’ discussions and reflects upon today’s issues of Slovak morphology, with regard to – amongst others – Slovak educational practise, into which J. Ružička was trying to introduce results of contemporary linguistic research as a member and chairman of several examination boards, as well as the co-author of several schoolbooks.

The present contribution deals with the grammatical category of number in Czech nouns. On the basis of empirical investigation, we propose the introduction of a new semantic distinction within the forms of nouns, namely the distinction of a simple quantitative meaning versus a pair/group meaning. There are nouns in Czech that typically refer to a pair or to a (commonly encountered) group of entities, not merely to a large amount of these entities (e.g. ruce ‘arms’, vlasy ‘hair’, or sirky ‘matches’). These nouns are combined with set numerals rather than with the basic ones. In the paper, we argue that the above mentioned subcategorization is grammaticalized. A brief outline of the expressions of the pair/group meaning in Czech as compared to some other languages (German, English, Slavonic) is also provided.
