Ostrov nad Ohří and Tajanov u Tupadel. On confusions in toponyms
Štěpán, Pavel
The chapter deals with the disunity in naming the individual inhabited localities in Czechia, namely with the cases when the railway station, post office and/or cadastral area has\na name different from the municipality (or municipality part) name. It is noted that especially railway station or post office names are often mistakenly identified with the official standardized municipality names. This may lead to misunderstanding and problems in communication. Removing this disunity is difficult due to considerable fragmentation of powers of the individual authorities responsible for the individual names. The second part of the paper investigates the names of cadastral areas. In some cases, these names differ from the municipality names just because the municipality had been officially renamed, but the corresponding change of the cadastral area name did not take place.

Toponymy of the City of Jičín
Nováková, Dominika ; Štěpán, Pavel (advisor) ; Martínek, František (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the toponymy of the town of Jičín and aims to take note of the currently used toponyms and to expand the number of anoikonyms compared to the state found in the 1970s. The material of currently used toponyms was obtained by field research and is comprised of both minor place names and place names, mainly focusing on the so-called living names of residential and non-residential objects. The collected data are compared with inventories from the 1970s and an inventory from the 1940s acquired from the local archive. A new inventory was subsequently created from the toponyms in use, which was supplemented with the basic characteristic data of the individual objects. At the same time, the gathered names are analyzed using a semantic classification of V. Šmilauer and also a structural classification of M. Majtán in the practical part. The findings of the field research and the application of the above-mentioned classifications are presented in the conclusion. Keywords: onomastics, toponym, field research, semantic classification, structural classification of toponyms

The Names of Hockey Clubs in the Czech Republic
Lupoměská, Klára ; Štěpán, Pavel (advisor) ; Rejzek, Jiří (referee)
(in English): The bachelor's thesis provides a detailed analysis of the names of hockey clubs in the Czech Republic. In the first chapter I deal with chrematonyms in the onymic system, and especially with the position of this specific type of chrematonyms. I also compare the names of Czech hockey clubs to other chrematonymic groups of proper names. In the next chapter I collect material from available online sources. Another part of the thesis is dedicated to classification of the names. It is based on both motivational and formal method. Finally, I pay attention to other aspects, such as the number of individual components, grammar and spelling of the names (the use of capital letters, which is largely influenced by English, is stressed).

Hrdinková, Kateřina ; Štěpán, Pavel (advisor) ; Adam, Robert (referee)
The bachelor thesis addresses the classification of castle names in the Pardubice region. The introduction deals with the issue of creating names of castles from a broader perspective. It defines the basic criteria for creating a list of entries. The second part contains a list of entries including the names of the surveyed objects in the Pardubice region, which is primarily divided into primary and secondary names, further according to the method of creation. Based on the collected information, the bachelor thesis interprets the basic tendencies in the formation of the castle names in the region. It focuses especially on the compounds of German origin.

Between Morphology and Word-formation: the Grammatical Category of Number in Toponyms
Štěpán, Pavel
The paper deals with the specific functions of the grammatical category of number in Czech toponyms. As proper nouns form a specific sphere of the language, also their grammatical categories may display differences from the core of the lexicon. In many toponyms the plural ending does not fulfil the usual role of the grammatical ending, for it does not express the plurality or the multiple character of the object (e.g. the fact that the object consists of several parts). The use of the plural ending is merely analogical in many toponyms, the analogy is based on mechanical imitation of the form of other toponyms. In these cases the plural ending functions rather as a derivative word-formation suffix than a mere grammatical ending. On the other hand, in some toponyms the grammatical function of the plural ending is still kept. The decisive criterion for the detection of the function of the plural ending is based on the details of the given naming act.

Colours in Finnish toponyms. Finnish Toponyms Starting with Hopea- (Silver) and Kulta- (Gold)
Wojnarová, Soňa ; Fárová, Lenka (advisor) ; Štěpán, Pavel (referee)
This diploma thesis examines the colour terms hopea ('silver' ) and kulta ('gold') in Finnish place names. The aim is to find out about the distribution of the toponyms starting with Hopea- and Kulta- by type of place (e.g. oronyms, hydronyms, etc.) and about the motivation of naming in these place names, and also about possible similarites and differences based on the colour terms used as the specific part in these place names. The first part of this thesis provides the theoretical background of colour terms study in general and the situation of hopea and kulta used as colour terms in Finnish. The situation of Finnish toponomastics is also briefly introduced. In the second part, the Finnish place names starting with Hopea- and Kulta- are analyzed according to the type of place they refer to and according to the type of motivation that can be behind the naming. Keywords: place names, colour terms, gold, silver, Finland, the Names Archive

Czech Toponyms in the Perspective of Cognitive Ethnolinguistics
Marek, Jakub ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Štěpán, Pavel (referee)
This thesis deals with linguistic stereotypes of cities. Therefore, the object of our interest is onomastic material (oikonyms, ie. own settlement names), which, however, is viewed from the perspective of cognitively and culturally oriented linguistics. The main theory, which the thesis is based on, is J. Bartmiński's theory of stereotype (incl. the so-called. profiling). We have dealt with the names of three Czech cities that currently belong to the administrative unit of the Vysočina Region: Jihlava, Pelhřimov, Pacov. Following the methodology of Polish authors of J. Bartmiński's scope we have analyzed each of them in terms of three areas: language data, text data and empirical data. We found out concrete connotations of these names in Czech language, and on the basis of these findings of ours we have formulated their stereotypes. Besides the formulation of the three selected specific stereotypes, this thesis also presents some general observations about stereotypes of cities. It is esp. a case of a proposal the profiles (ie. general aspects, which are usually used in the process of profiling a stereotype), with which you can work in research on stereotypes of cities in general. Furthermore, this thesis elaborates the methodology of analyzing text data, which should be in the centre of attention...
