The street names in the town of Volyně
KUNEŠ, Václav
This diploma thesis deals with names of streets, squares, embankments and parks in the town Volyně in the district of Strakonice. Based on archival sources, it researches the development of the local street names in seven historical periods since the first designation in 1871 to the present. In every period the names are organized into a dictionary that explains their semantic motivation. A classification according to particular semantic categories is included, too. Attention is paid to the development of honorific motivation in street designation which means giving names of significant personalities, historical events, places and values that mostly have no connection with the designated place. The final part analyses the formation of both present and defunct street names and brings their structural classification. The aim of the diploma thesis is to explore systematically the designations of streets in Volyně and their development, and thus contribute to the knowledge of the local toponymy and the history of the town.
The Minor Place-Names in the Cadastral Area Vlhlavy and Malé Chrášťany
KUNEŠ, Václav
This bachelor thesis deals with minor?place names, which means names of uninhabited natural objects and phenomena in the landscape that include names of waters, shapes of the earth?s surface segmentation, grounds and waysides. The aim of the work is to collect the minor?place names in the cadastral area of Vlhlavy and Malé Chrášťany that represent the local parts of the municipality Sedlec in the district of České Budějovice. These names are collected from written sources and from interviews with witnesses in both villages. The collected material is organized into a dictionary that analyses the derivational structure and the semantic motivation of each name. The complex of names is also classified three ways according to various criteria. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to complete the material of minor?place names from the area where the inventory of the Topographic Commission of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in 1979 didn?t collect the appropriate complex of names, and to contribute partially to the Czech toponymic research.
