Name-formation and proprial word-formation
Štěpán, Pavel
The article is focused on the definitions and use of two seemingly synonymous terms: názvotvorba "name-formation" and propriální slovotvorba "proprial word-formation". These terms differ in two major aspects: (1) While the subject of the proprial word-formation is the morphemic structure of the name, the term name-formation, reflecting the specific traits of proper names and their rise by the naming act, includes also its motivation. (2) The subject of the name-formation is the overall structure of a proper name, whereas the proprial word-formation analyses only the internal structure of the individual lexical unit forming a part of a name. This distinction is noticeable especially in anoikonyms (minor place names) with a typical multiple-word structure. Both of these approaches are compared and their use and relevance are discussed.

The article deals with the question how the mass media monitor the quality of the oral speeches, if they co-operate with some language consulters, etc. It shows also one of the methods used for the evaluation of the oral speeches. The attention will be devoted especially on the phonetic aspect of the speeches.
