Title: Slovotvorba a názvotvorba

Abstract:

Within onomastics, the formation of common names constitutes a part of interpretation procedures andlexicological analyses. Its perspective, however, is narrowed down to the language level of propria, i.e.to their superficial structure. The formation of proper names analyses the naming process, and investigatesthe formation of the proprium as specific nominative and semiotic characteristics. The principlesof the formation of common names are also applicable to the principles of the formation of propernames, in which case, however, they always must be subject to a proprial purpose. Otherwise, a propername cannot be created. The elements of common name formation are reflected in the proprial domainof language in a parasystematic way, i.e. in the potential selection. The key categories differentiating theformation of proprial names from the formation of common names are as follows: a) propriality (bothgeneric and systemic) that results in the “proprial value of the lexeme” and creation of transonymisation,b) proprial meaning that is always linked to a proprial subject and proprial function, c) apel ↔ prop fundationin form of either appelativisation or proprialisation. The formation of common names is subjectto predication whereas the formation of proper names is subject to a specific type of nomination. Moreenhanced theoretical research is needed to define a precise terminological specification.
