The Memory of Table Mountain Bor in the Light of Minor Place Names
Ptáčníková, Martina
Table mountain Bor forms part of the border zone of mountains surrounding Bohemia together with the neighbouring Hejšovina. Bor has not received much attention in onomastic research and this study attempts to fill this gap. It will highlight the well-known and lesser-known variants of the name of mountain, which originated in both Czech and German environments. We pay special attention to the names for the sandstone rock labyrinth situated on the edge of Bor. The oldest name of the labyrinth, Divoké ďoury (EN: Wild Holes, GER: Wilde Löcher), as well as the oldest names of individual rock formations were created by Daniel Ducháč, a resident of the village of Bukovina, which belonged to the so-called Czech Corner in Kłodzko Land. In the conclusion of the study we will answer the question whether the original Czech name of the rock labyrinth, i.e. Divoké ďoury, can still be found in the linguistic landscape of the area today or not.

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.
