Introduction to Literary Onomastics Abstract Žaneta Dvořáková Czech onomastics has been traditionally well advanced; it has a high-quality theoretical and methodological foundation and is highly regarded internationally. However, unlike in other countries, literary onomastics as one of its disciplines still lacks sufficient attention. R. Šrámek - along with his counterparts abroad, K. Gutschmidt and W. F. H. Nicolaisen - points out its terminological and methodological inconsistency, insufficient theoretical elaboration and the problem of defining its scope of research. It is this call that I want to answer with my dissertation. The goal of my Introduction To Literary Onomastics is to provide a critical and complex summary and assessment of the current understanding of literary proper names and to further research the subject - especially by extending its scope with some new views of anthroponyms in fiction based on profound analyses of modern works of Czech and foreign literature of the 19th and 20th century. My research builds upon methodological-theoretical findings reached by the development of both Czech and foreign literary onomastics; at the same time, it draws on the latest findings of general onomastic theory. Excerpted works purposely represent a wide variety of literary genres, which allows us to...

Oronyms and Hydronyms in Protected Landscape Area Jizera Mountains (Jizerské hory) Václav Lábus Abstract: The main goal of the present Ph.D. thesis titled Oronyms and Hydronyms in the Protected Landscape Area Jizera Mountains (Jizerské hory) is the analysis of semantic and formal aspects of anoikonyms (minor place names) in the mentioned region. The thesis deals not only with contemporary names, but it also describes development of the regional anoikonymy from Middle Ages to the present times. Until 1945 the Jizera Mountains were a part of the so-called Sudetenland inhabited by German population; therefore, the thesis pays special attention to relations between Czech and German minor place names and to later processes of bohemization. In addition to the development of the anoikonymy, influenced by historical events, the thesis focuses on three typical aspects of the anoikonymical system of the Jizera Mountains: a/ variability (or onymical synonymy) from both synchronic and diachronic point of view; b/ the role of possessive motivation within onymic processes; c/ elements of local dialects in anoikonyms. A substantial part of the thesis is also the etymological interpretation as well as the detailed mapping of the development and changes in naming of major orographic and hydrographic objects.
