In the article entitled From the place names of the Poland-Russia borderline: Cucułowce and Czupernosów the author is trying to explain the etymology and further transformation of two place names from the area of the historical Lviv land. In the studies on the area of the former Republic of Poland they occur as completely or partly ambiguous, therefore it is attempted to authenticate the proposed clarification.

The paper discusses the ways in which Polish place names were created, in the light of their folk etymologies. The author uses the example of selected morphological reinterpretations of place names from various regions of Poland. By comparing folk-etymologized place names, and the words and expression that they indicate as bases for derivation, the paper shows that, in fact, folk etymology divides Polish toponyms into similar structural categories as scientific etymology: the primary, the secondary, and the compound. Very few re-etymologized place names do not fit into any of these types. In details, however, pseudoetymologies differ from the results of onomastic research with regard to the methods of creation of place names. Among other differences, the former tend to prefer certain structural types, especially compounds, and display a greater degree of tolerance for phonetic differences.

W sprawie poprawnej klasyfikacji nazwy wodnej kurzyna

According to Jerzy Duma (1999a: 135; 1999b: 93) and Urszula Bijak (2013: 156), the river name Kurzyna (attested in 1564–1565), referring to the upper course of the river Wolbórka, derives from the appellative kura (f.) ‘hen’ or perhaps from the personal name *Kura by the means of the suffix *-ina. This explanation seems impossible for formal reasons. The river name in question is evidently motivated by the forest name Kurzyna (located near the town Tuszyn), mentioned by Jan Łaski (silva dicta Kurzyna) as early as in 1511–1522. Łaski informed also that a small stream flows out from the forest Kurzyna (in torrente ex Cyrzyna decurrente). It is suggested that the name of the forest Kurzyna derives from the Old Polish noun kurzyna (f.) ‘beard lichen, Usnea barbata (L.) Weber’. The river name Kurzyna repeats undoubtedly the homonymic forest name.

The article describes thirteen folk (unscientific) etymologies of eleven place names included in Romuald Fryderowicz’s 2013 book Podania i legendy pomorskie zebrane w latach 1914–1922 [Pomeranian legends collected in the years 1914–1922]. A folk etymology is defined as ‘scientifically incorrect explanation of the origins of a word based on the similarity of its form to other words or other casual associations’.The analysed pseudo‑etymologies concern the following place names: Borkowo, Górzno, Osie, Przechowo, Rudki, Tleń, Tuchola, Warzno, Wysin, Zawory and Zblewo; the book  devotes two pseudo-etymologies to Tuchola and Wysin each. Some of these pseudo etymologies come from a field exploration, but as much as seven of them occur to be pseudo-scientific. The author uses this term for unprofessional (contrary to onomastic methodology) explanations of the structure and meaning of a word using the research results of various scientific disciplines, especially history.

The article focuses on two different categories of Old Polish service peasants, which were connected with operating and maintaining medieval routes (roads) in the Polish state under the early Piast dynasty. The first question, discussed by the authors, refers to the Polish place name Czastary (Wieluń district), which seems to represent a service village, inhabited earlier by “road-workers” (Lat. stratifices) originally called *castari (< Proto-Slavic *cěstarjь, pl. *cěstarji). The second problem concerns Old Polish “bridge-makers”. It is suggested, on the basis of the toponomastical data (see three Polish place names Bierwce, Bierniki and Biernik), that the peasants who were obliged to create bridges or foot-bridges, were called *bi(e)rwci (< Proto-Slavic *brъvьсi) or *bi(e)rwnici (< Proto-Slavic *brъvьnici).

Material traces of past cultures as a motive for the creation of Spanish place names

Place names referencing the material traces of past cultures are relatively common in the microtoponymy, of Spanish-speaking areas. Since they were created by rural speech communities completely lacking in historical and archaeological culture, they make it possible to reconstruct how realities of archaeological interest (fragments of tools and building materials, ruins of buildings, dolmens, menhirs, tombs, old coins, inscriptions, engraved or painted cave art, among others) were popularly perceived and interpreted long before becoming objects of scientific study. Taking an extensive toponymic corpus as its starting point, this paper presents an exhaustive classification of such names, differentiating those of a purely descriptive nature from those intended to provide answers to questions concerning the origins, age, and purpose of the enigmatic discoveries. This toponomastic analysis facilitates the rigorous study of the process of onymic creation and its underlying motives.

National minorities languages in the public space. Is it the change in the linguistic landscape in Poland?

The main object of this article is to present the history of the establishing legal regulations in Poland concerning additional place names and other official signs in the languages of national minorities. This process has been always very difficult, because as it teaches the experience of many European countries, it affects issues related the national identity, the role of the national language in the stateand the tradition of recognizing linguistic diversity in a given country. In the article, I will try to show that the introduction of such regulations in Poland has been with the one hand an important, perhaps even historical, change in the functioning of the Polish society and administration which consisted of official admission of other languages into the public sphere thus violating the dominant tradition of Polish language dominance in the country. From the other hand, the presence of a minority place-names indicates a change in the way in which minority groups publicly present their ethnic identities. It takes place not only through maintaining national cultures and learning the mother tongue but also through increased visual presence in the public sphere.

The article presents a discussion about the place names of village and steading communities, their semantic meaning and cultural value of intrinsic information. A group of place names related with the notion “sergėti” (guard) is analysed. For revealing their meaning, historical sources are employed and the natural environment of the villages and steadings is analysed. In parallel, the historical development of territorial communities is surveyed pointing out the complicated status of traditional territorial communities after the Soviet years (during the Soviet years, 5 600 villages and steadings were annihilated) and too slowly changing comprehension of social–territorial units by modern society. The necessity to safeguard all place names of territorial communities annihilated during the Soviet years as intangible cultural heritage is emphasised. References 51. Figs 8.

This study is focused on the survey of a non-standardized (popular) toponymy of the fifth district of the municipal borough of Ostrava-Poruba, which was established, as a prototypical socialistic housing estate, from the 1940s to the 1980s. The green-field establishment of a self-sufficient city, the yard-based shaping of the construction, and the way the standardized toponymical structure was politically charged (commemorative names) became the main triggers and background of the development of popular urban names; these are studied from two different social groups’ points of view. The research started in a family whose three generations had been closely linked to the district; this survey was followed by another one, focusing on pupils of the local elementary school.

The article traces the formation of the oikonymic system, toponymic space and toponymic landscape, twenty-four place names of of Shchyrets povit in the Lviv Land Ruske Voivodeship over the 14th to the 15th centuries, using a systemic approach to analysis of historical Western Ukrainian oikonymy. The onset of certain derivational and semantic types of place names models are also established in the article, i.e.: *-any (Dobrzany/Dobriany, Łubiany/Liubiany), *-ovъ (Krasów/Krasiv; Kahujów/Kahuyiv; Tatarynów/Tataryniv), plural (patronymic, lineage, ethnic) names (Horbacze/Horbachi, Honiatycze/Honiatychi, Koniuszki/Koniushky, Sroki/Soroky, Czerkasy/Cherkasy, Nowosiółki/Novosilky), physiographic names (Piaski/Pisky, Ostrów/Ostriv). These names are elements of a language system (to be more precise of two intertwined systems - Ukrainian and Polish), and they were created and adapted by their speakers in accordance with the laws of the system, and genetically connected with the community that populated the area.

Obraz księdza w etymologiach ludowych nazw polskich miejscowości

Artkuł poświęcony jest wizerunkowi kapłanów zawartemu w etymologiach ludowych nazw miast, miasteczek, osad i wsi, czyli w błędnych z naukowego punktu widzenia objaśnieniach pochodzenia jakiegoś wyrazu, opartych na podobieństwie jego formy do innych wyrazów lub na innych swobodnych skojarzeniach. Okazuje się, że obraz księdza odtworzony na podstawie wtórnych wykładni semantycznych wybranych nazw miejscowych nie jest zbyt bogaty, nie zawiera bowiem wielu istotnych cech składających się na ogólne wyobrażenie kapłana katolickiego, takich jak odprawianie mszy świętych, udzielanie sakramentów świętych innych niż chrzest, głoszenie kazań, prowadzenie katechezy, troska o sprawy finansowe parafii, mimo że motywy te można często spotkać w podaniach historycznych nieodnoszących się do pochodzenia nazwy miejscowej. Jednak z drugiej strony, twórcy podań etymologicznych stosunkowo dokładnie scharakteryzowali kapłanów w zakresie innych cech. W świetle poddanych analizie etymologii ludowych do zadań księży należą: udzielanie sakramentu chrztu świętego, krzewienie i obrona wiary, osobista pobożność, autorytet moralny, inicjowanie założenia i rozwoju danej miejscowości. Ponadto podania etymologiczne zwracają uwagę na pewne charakterystyczne materialne aspekty życia dawnych kapłanów: strój (komża), miejsce zamieszkania (plebania), sposób podróżowania (bryczka) oraz rozrywki (uczty i polowania).

The article describes the image of priests presented in folk etymologies of the names of the cities, towns and villages, that is in explanations of the origins of words which are incorrect from the scholarly point of view, being based on the similarity of their form to other words. It turns out that the image of the priest which is created on the grounds of secondary semantic interpretations of selected places is not especially rich, since it does not refer to many of the essential activities which constitute the general image of a Catholic priest, such as saying mass, administering other sacraments such as baptism, preaching, giving religious instruction, looking after the financial issues of the parish. However, all these motifs can often be found in historical legends which do not refer to the origins of the place names. On the other hand, the makers of legends described priests relatively precisely in terms of other features. In the light of the analysed folk etymologies, priests are responsible for giving the sacrament of baptism, propagating and defending the faith, setting an example of personal piety and moral authority, initiating the creation and development of the place and its surroundings. Furthermore, the legends focus attention on certain characteristic material aspects of priests’ lives, such as vestments (surplice), place of residence (presbytery), means of transport (britzka) and entertainment (feasts and hunting).

Bohemian Manchester, Moravian Klondike and Silesian Versailles: Attributive structures of foreign place names in contemporary Czech journalism

Exonyms – i.e. toponyms of the type Rakousko, Benátky (‘Austria’, ‘Venice’) – were introduced to the Czech landscape (along with foreign endonyms) in medieval times. During the 19th century, a new, specific application of foreign place names began to appear, and this development forms the focus of the present article. Such words began to feature in attributive structures of the type český, pražský (‘Czech’ or ‘Bohemian’, ‘Prague’s’) + exonym / foreign endonym; many of these structures came into widespread use referring to areas whose boundaries were not clearly delineated or defined, or they served the purposes of marketing and advertising. In the 1990s, the growing influence of a “new” European regionalism and the formation of new territorial entities was accompanied by a revival of some old regional identities – and, in turn, by the revival of their names. Attributive structures with foreign place names thus began to re-appear in toponymy, and also in advertising or journalism. The analysis presented in this article is based on the SYN PUB component of the Czech National Corpus, and it focuses on the collocations of the lemmas český/moravský/slezský (‘Czech’ or ‘Bohemian’/‘Moravian’/‘Silesian’) + exonym / foreign endonym, aiming to offer insight into the reasons underlying the use of such structures in contemporary journalism.

From old-time to modern Poznań in detective storiesThe article discusses the image of Poznań in detective fiction written after 1989. The criminal stories were selected in such a way that their action takes place in different times, the purpose of the paper is to show how the choice of names affects the understanding of the novel’s content and compare the names used by the author with the real urban nomenclature with that of Poznan, both presently and in the period in which the piece is set. The main question posed is whether the time of action influences the selection of proper names and how the proper names were chosen for novels in which action takes place in earlier periods: whether the author uses historical urbanonyms, present ones or adopts a different strategy altogether. The article aims to show how the picture of Poznań is created in detective stories and how much it corresponds to reality. Od dawnego do współczesnego Poznania w kryminaleArtykuł pokazuje obraz Poznania w kryminałach napisanych po roku 1989. Kryminały zostały wybrane w taki sposób, aby ich akcja rozgrywała się w różnych czasach. Celem pracy jest pokazanie, jak dobór nazw własnych wpływa na zrozumienie treści dzieła oraz porównanie nazw z ówczesnym i współczesnym nazewnictwem miejskim Poznania. Główne pytanie stawiane w pracy dotyczy tego, czy czas akcji wpływa na dobór onimów oraz jak wygląda dobór onimów w kryminałach z akcją osadzoną we wcześniejszych latach. Czy autor odzwierciedla w powieści funkcjonujące wówczas realnie urbanonimy, opiera się na stanie współczesnym, czy obiera jeszcze inną strategię? Artykuł ma pokazać, jak kształtuje się przestrzeń Poznania w kryminale i czy historycznie oraz współcześnie odpowiada stanowi faktycznemu.

The law on national and ethnic minorities and regional language passed by the Polish Parliament regulates the rules of introducing additional place names and street names in German. It was commonly expected that adoption of this law would solve the problems, abate the emotions and mitigate apparent controversies connected with the expression of distinctness by national minorities. An attempt to describe the introduction of German places names in Upper Silesia is presented against the background of similar experiences in Poland and Europe. They show that the problem of bilingual place names is related to the emotional rather than the pragmatic sphere of life and is a visible element of the “policy of remembrance”. The most intense emotions and discussions were triggered by the introduction of additional names in German and Lemko. This demonstrates that the baggage of a troubled past has an enormous significance for the way in which those minorities are perceived today.

Place names have been systematically studied by various disciplines, including linguistics, history, geography, and anthropology. Most of these studies have, however, focused on the historical value of place names in documenting language change, the spread of human settlement, distribution of geomorphological objects and the evolution of legal practices in times past. Surprisingly little attention has been paid to contemporary place-naming practi-ces and the role they play in structuring social relations and reproducing social identities. After reviewing the principal linguistic, geographical and anthropological approaches to place names we propose a multidisciplinary approach which should help us better under-stand the importance and significance of place names in the perception and construction of every-day landscapes.

The paper demonstrates the current state of research on the presence of Slavs on the island of Crete in the Middle Ages, as well as in the modern times. The basis for the discussion is a new book of Pantelis Haralampakis, published in 2016. There are numerous controversies surrounding the issues of the exact chronology of Slavic presence on the island, the lexical influence of South Slavic languages on the Cretan dialect of Modern Greek, as well as possible traces of Slavic settlements in the Cretan toponymy.

The author of the article examines the area with places with names featuring the archaic suffix *-jь located within the borders of present-day Ukraine between the 15th and the 20th century. This general conclusion has been known for a long time because the oikonyms *-jь, *-ja, *-je in Slavic countries, including Ukraine, have been studied since the 19th century. Authors of such studies have explained the origins and structure of the various names, which are not easy to interpret on account of phonetic changes. However, knowledge of this group of oikonyms is insufficient in Ukraine, hence the idea of their detailed study and presentation on maps.

The thematization of proper names in travel literature : Czech travelogues of visits to the USSR

The article explores the thematization of proper names (anthroponyms, chrematonyms and toponyms, includings street names) in Czech travelogues describing Soviet Russia (and later the Soviet Union). The material for the study comprised 40 travelogues published in book form and relating to the period 1917–1956. The aim of the article is to demonstrate how proper names function in this type of travelogue as a means of reflecting and promoting Soviet society, its values and ideology. The article also explores how proper names – particularly name changes in response to historical developments – were presented and commented on by the authors of pre- and post- World War II travelogues. Predominantly up to 1945, naming practices under the Bolshevik regime (name changes, new personal and geographical names, the practice of giving ‘revolutionary’ names to children) were viewed as part of the creation of a new Soviet reality and a new society, and the authors emphasized the ideological value and propaganda function of proper names.

Text se zabývá tematizací vlastních jmen (antroponym, chrématonym, toponym včetně uličních názvů) v českých cestopisech ze sovětského Ruska, později Sovětského svazu. Materiálem studie bylo 40 knižně vydaných cestopisů pojednávajících o období 1917–1956. Cílem studie je představit propria z daného typu cestopisů jako prostředek propagace sovětské společnosti, jejích hodnot a ideologie. Studie si rovněž všímá způsobu, jakým byla vlastní jména autory meziválečných a poválečných cestopisů prezentována a komentována. Důraz je přitom kladen na problematiku přejmenování v závislosti na historických proměnách. V období před rokem 1945 byly pojmenovací praktiky (přejmenování, nová osobní a zeměpisná jména, křty revolučními jmény) provázející bolševický režim vnímány jako součást vytváření nové sovětské reality a společnosti a byla zdůrazňována ideologická hodnota a agitační funkce proprií. Tyto procesy byly levicovými autory přijímány s nadšením jako projev pokroku a revolučních změn, ostatními pouze stroze konstatovány, či dokonce kritizovány. Po roce 1945 se v přístupu k novým pojmenováním s kritikou již nesetkáváme, a to především vlivem důsledného uplatňování jednotného striktně ideologického pohledu na sovětskou realitu a její zobrazení. Výjimkou je pouze hodnocení revolučních osobních jmen jako přežitých.

The aim of this study is to describe the making of a hydronomastic lexicon. There are differences between ordinary lexicographic work and onomastics lexicography, the reason for these being the specificity of proper names, in this case hydronyms. In addition to the Hydronymia Slovaciae methodology project, which was written as an adaptation of the Hydronymia Europaea project, this study presents some methodological problems and their solutions. Every solution is illustrated with examples.
