On the origin of two Czech textile production terms
Villnow Komárková, Jana
The topic of this paper is the etymological interpretation of two Czech dialectal names for the parts of weaving loom slupka and šmejholec. The origin of these words can only be explained by using the etymological method „Wörter und Sachen“, which insists on the knowledge of the technical and the functional aspect of things.

Etymology and semantics
Karlíková, Helena
The contribution focuses on some problems an etymologist faces when reconstructing the original meaning of a given etymon. It shows what kind of difficulties one must deal with in description of the semantic development within the frame of one language (in its various historical phases) as well as within the whole lexical family. In such reconstruction one of the important factors is the application of the principle of comparison, i.e. the search for semantic parallels, analogical semantic processes.
