Street names have not only the function of a topographical-spatial orientation but they also reflect the history and are a cultural and political instrument. At the time of the National Socialist dictatorship, street names were changed in Germany. Also in the cities of Poland, in the Second World War many streets and squares were renamed. The aim of this paper is to examine and describe the change of urban names in Białystok in the years 1939-1944, when Poland was under German occupation. A strong influence of the German language is apparent in German designations and more or less successful translations of Polish hodonyms. Nevertheless, some place and street designations still show their Polish origin. The paper discusses the extent of German influence on the official language of city plans and the ways in which the Polish streets were renamed. Moreover, an attempt is being made to determine which trends can be observed in urban designations.

Etymological reinterpretation, less aptly referred to as folk etymology, is a cognitive process by which less familiar (”weak”) lexical units are ‒ on various levels of consciousness ‒ reassigned to other semantic, syntactic or inflectional categories under the influence of “stronger” words or patterns, more familiar to language users. This phenomenon can be observed not only in common nouns but also among proper names, though the latter are less often subjected to scholarly analysis in that respect. Moreover, while there exist studies of folk etymology in settlement names and microtoponyms, usually analysing legends of how names of towns, villages or landscape features originated, not as much attention has been so far devoted to this phenomenon in relation to urban naming in Poland. This article studies the etymological reinterpretation of Polish urban names (mostly those of streets). Drawing on Witold Cienkowski’s 1972 classic model of classifying the phenomena of folk etymology, it offers its adaptation to fit the specificity of hodonyms by replacing the category of meaning with that of motivation and by the inclusion of inflection as an additional factor. The proposed classification is illustrated with examples from Polish cities.

This article discusses urban names found in the zoo in Belgrad. The article is an attempt to find out why the managers of the zoo decided to transpose urban names into the area of the zoo and in what categories we can perceive this choice. The body of material, including 36 onymic units, was subject to semantic and formal analysis. The material includes commemorative names referring i.a. to the first names and surnames of the zoo directors, figures connected with science and culture, or the names of institutions supporting the zoo. The vast majority of them are formal language structures, especially genitive forms. The presented semantic and formal models follow the convention of the contemporary nomenclature of streets in Belgrad. The very transposition must be regarded as innovative, determined on the one hand by the development of mass culture and on the other hand by political reasons, which can be perceived in the category of patriotism with a slightly nationalistic tinge.

Članak se bavi gradskim nazivima koji su zabeleženi na terenu Beogradskog zoološkog vrta. U članku se probalo odgovoriti na pitanja zbog čega se direkcija zoološkog vrta odlučila na transpoziciju gradskih naziva u arelu zoološkog vrta kao i kojim kategorijama se to može analizirati. Ispitivani korpus se sastoji od 36 onimične jedinice, analizirane semantički i formalno. Sakupljeni materijal predstavlja nazive koji su svojevrsna vrsta sećanja, a čija se motivacija, između ostalog, odnosi na imena i prezimena direktora zoološkog vrta, osoba povezanih sa naukom, kulturom, kao i nazivi institucija koje podržavaju zoološki vrt. Uglavnom su to strukture sa formalnojezičkom kreacijom, usred kojih dominiraju forme genitiva. Predstavljeni semantički i formalni modeli uklapaju se u konvenciju savremenih naziva beogradskih ulica. Samu transpoziciju bi trebalo smatrati za inovatorsku koja je sa jedne strane determinisana razvojem masovne kulture, a sa druge političkim povodima koji se mogu analizirati u patriotskim kategorijama sa izvesnom dozom nacionalizma.

The article presents the academic achievements of Mieczysław Buczyński, Ph.D. (1936-1992) with special emphasis placed on his dialectological and onomastic research in the Lublin area. The scholar created a card index for the Dictionary of the Huszcza in Podlasie dialect which index consists of more than 100 thousand words. The vocabulary can serve as a basis for describing linguistic interference between the local Ukrainian dialects and the insular Polish dialect. Another area of Mieczysław Buczyński’s academic interest was onomastics, especially urban names and anthroponymy. The studies of the names in Lublin were conducted with respect to the object and the methodology. In his descriptions of urban names, Mieczysław Buczyński took into consideration the linguistic as well as the extra-linguistic factors. Anthroponyms of Armenian origin, presented with respect to the inhabitants of Zamość, played an important role in the scholar’s onomastic studies. The article presents the academic achievements of the prematurely deceased scholar and a person born and living in the Lublin area. He was involved in pioneering research and nouvelle methodology, largely supported by the ethnic and cultural diversity of the region with which Mieczysław Buczyński always identified himself.
