Sémantický vývin lexém biskup, kňaz, farár a pop v slovenských nárečiach
Semantic Development of the Lexemes biskup, kňaz, farár and pop in Slovak Dialects

Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of four Slovak dialectal words from religious area that denote a religious person in Christian hierarchy. The reason why we analysed them together is a noteworthy fact that one of the semantic shift – "the top sheaf on the grain cross" – is common for all of them and the other one – "part of the vineyard press" – is connected with two of them. Since the motivation of all the analysed shifts seems to be connected with historical realities such as tithes, Christian art or garments, to explain the semantic development the method Wörter und Sachen is used.
