Bachelor's thesis

Czechifying the non-settlement geographical names after 1945 in the selected Jeseník region villages

Abstract:

Teoretická část práce charakterizuje toponomastiku, její funkci, vývoj a jednotlivé typy toponym s důrazem na pomístní jména (anoikonyma), jimž je věnována i praktická část práce koncipovaná formou glosáře. Glosář obsahuje celkem 138 pomístních jmen vypsaných z katastrů pěti obcí na Jesenicku. Jeho náplní je ukázat proměnu pomístních jmen po 2. světové válce v pohraničních oblastech, která spočívala v bohemizaci původně německých názvů.

Abstract:

Anoikonyms, proper nouns of mountains, water bodies, forests, or fields, are a very broad discipline. Their role is not only to name objects, they also have an important orienting function in the landscape, they tell about social and linguistic issues and historical circumstances. The set of anoikonyms in the Sudetes was necessary to change via bohemianization after the Second World War and the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia. The theoretical part of the thesis characterizes toponomastics, the study of toponyms, their function, development, and individual types of toponyms. Emphasis is placed primarily on anoikonyms, their types (hydronyms, oronyms, agronyms, hodonyms, and other names), methods of classification and, last but not least, on German anoikonyms and ways of their bohemianization. The practical part of the thesis has the structure of a glossary, which contains 138 anoikonyms from the cadastre of five municipalities in the Jeseník region: Bílá Voda, Česká Ves, Javorník, Stará Červená Voda, and Zlaté Hory. Its content is to point out the transformation of anoikonyms after the Second World War in border areas and the ways of bohemianization. The glossary contains the Czech and German variants of anoikonyms, type of objects, affiliation to the cadastre of the municipality, method of bohemianization, and etymological interpretation. The final statistics prove that the most common types of bohemianization include translation and creation of new names, this also corresponds to general trends. Oronyms were the most appeared (over 50 %), followed by hydronyms (29 %). The largest number of names were in the cadastre of the municipality of Zlaté Hory, the least, on the contrary, in the cadastre of the municipality of Bílá Voda. There is also great scope for future research into non-standardized place names that may well capture the language habits of local residents and their relationship to the landscape.
