Abstract:Names of administrative units belong to choronyms. They are located in a transitional zone between proper names and appellatives. The prototypical centre of the category of properhood includes names of administrative units that are homonymic to names of localities and regions, e.g. Rzeszów (city county), Tyrol (Austria, 1st order administrative unit). Further from the category’s centre there are multi-element names comprising a proprial component and a generic element, e.g. Kraj Basków, Kraj Loary, Bazylea-Okręg, Terytorium Stołeczne Islamabadu, Prefektura Wientian. On the borderline between proper names and appellatives there are descriptions like Prowincja Centralna, Region Stołeczny which describe individual concepts with appellative vocabulary. Names consisting of a generic term and an adjective derived from a place name belong to appellatives, e.g. województwo podlaskie, powiat otwocki, rejon birżański, obwód brzeski.The spelling of multi-element names comprising a generic term or a generic element remains an open issue because there is a discrepancy between general orthographic rules and the usus.
