The paper focuses on a specific substitution of full proper names with their reduced alternatives. Official proper names of institutions, buildings, places, etc. are correctly spelled with a capital letter in the intital word of the name, whereas lower-case letter is used for the unofficial alternative of the name. However, capitalization in substitute names varies. We analyze particular types of substitution, considering which types are components of the proper names and which types are common noun components.

The article is an attempt of interpreting the Polish rules of linguistic etiquette in Polish epistolography. I consider Polish orthographic rules regulating the usage of capital and lower-case letters for personal pronouns in the context of cognitive aspects and pragmatics. Precisely, I analyze writing Polish forms ‘you’ or ‘your’ with capital letter [Ty, Twój] and pronouns relating to the others with the small letters in correspondence. In other words, I research the possible ways of affecting the Polish epistolographical savoir-vivre both on the remitters and the remittees. Hence, the anthropological aspects of Polish orthography connected with the graphical forms of personal pronouns are the heart of the matter in this work. The motivation for presenting a Polish linguistic and cultural problem during the international conference comes from the fact of increasing multicultural cooperation between different nations. And the key to understand the others is knowing their mentality, which in turn is being shaped especially by the mother tongue and cultural background. Polish epistolographical rules, at least to some degree, show that someone becomes a Person in a direct relationship but a person in other cases. And this in turn reflects the nobility of being a homo sapiens on one hand and insincerity of another. What is important, by this text I want to hasten Polish tradition of writing letters considering both the positive and negative aspects of using capital letter in written communication which shows, as I hope, my efforts to show the problem in real and objective light [1968, 243].

The paper analyzes and evaluates the responses from a sociolinguistic survey concerning capitalization in Czech. Approximately 4,100 participants utilized the opportunity to express their opinions on this matter. The expressed views varied greatly. They were often contradictory and concerned not only capitalization, but also other spelling issues or language issues in general. The paper devotes special attention to opinions on particular types of names. Most often, the participants expressed their views on geographical names, especially public places in cities. Other frequently mentioned types were company names, names of authorities and the titles of document or literary work.

The paper presents the results of the sociolinguistic survey Capitalization in Czech. The survey was conducted by the Department of Language Culture, Insitute of the Czech Language, Czech Academy of Sciences, from January 1 to June 30, 2012. The aim of the questionnaire survey was to monitor the knowledge of the current capitalization codification as well as the attitudes towards capitalization and possible changes in codification. The survey yielded 12,308 completed questionnaires (from 18,646 participants). The capitalization rules for names included in the survey were known to 59 % of the participants. A statistical analysis of the survey data revealed both differing levels of the capitalization rules knowledge among individual groups of participants, as well as conservative attitudes (86 % of the participants preffered the preservation of the current codification).

This paper deals with the capitalization in Czech (in one of its functions, specifically signalling the proprial status of particular language item). In the first, general part, a new approach is proposed which, as it is argued here, may serve as theoretical background for the description of the rules of (Czech) capitalization more effectively than the traditional approach based on the somewhat uncertain definition “being the part of proper noun”. Each naming item (řeka Labe) is divided into two components: the so-called generic component, which serves as a description of the type of the object being referred to (řeka ‘river’) within the naming item and the so-called proprial component, i.e. the proper name itself ascribed to this particular object (Labe). In the second, practical part, applications and advantages of this approach are demonstrated using the example of capitalization description in the so-called generic component of the naming item.
