Nářeční prvky v oficiálních podobách českých anoikonym a urbanonym

The article examines the occurrence of dialect elements in the official forms of minor place names and street names, focusing on phonological, morphological, and word-formation levels. An analysis of standardized non-settlement names recorded in the Geonames database has revealed that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to draw a clear line between names that should be converted into a standard language form, and traditional anoikonyms, where it is more appropriate to preserve their original non-standard dialect form. In the case of street names, it is also unclear whether the dialectal form of a name that conflicts with the standard language is chosen randomly (due to ignorance) or intentionally, with the aim of highlighting local or regional identity.

Abstract

The article examines the occurrence of dialect elements in the official forms of minor place names and street names, focusing on phonological, morphological, and word-formation levels. An analysis of standardized non-settlement names recorded in the Geonames database has revealed that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to draw a clear line between names that should be converted into a standard language form, and traditional anoikonyms, where it is more appropriate to preserve their original non-standard dialect form. In the case of street names, it is also unclear whether the dialectal form of a name that conflicts with the standard language is chosen randomly (due to ignorance) or intentionally, with the aim of highlighting local or regional identity.
