Toward issue toponyms in selected area
DIVIŠOVÁ, Kristina
The bachelor thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a practical one. The theoretical part contains general questions of two linguistic disciplines - onomasticts and toponomastics. At first, the thesis is based on the characteristics of the onomastic discipline, its history, division into subfields and its functions. The toponomastic discipline is elaborated in a similar way. In addition, attention is also paid to geographical proper nouns. The practical part is divided into two parts, both having the same goal - to pinpoint the development of toponyms, especially urbanonyms and, based on the theory, to perceive marginally the issues of these disciplines. The first chapter of the practical part is focused on the small town of Hrotovice and the second one on the town of Třebíč. Old maps as well as chronicles were used for the research. In the case of Hrotovice, the method of an interview was also used.
