Podział tematyczny słownictwa utrwalonego w podstawach motywacyjnych XVII-wiecznych nazwisk odapelatywnych (na przykładzie Daleszyc na Kielecczyźnie)
The thematic division of vocabulary recorded in the motivational bases of 17th-century appellative surnames (based on the example of Daleszyce in the Kielce region)

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the study consists of 17th-century surnames derived from common nouns, recorded in the parish registers (birth records) of the Daleszyce parish. These surnames have not previously been the focus of onomastic analysis. The aim of the research is to identify the semantic spheres, fields, and subfields to which the appellatives forming the motivational basis of the studied surnames belong, as well as to conduct a frequency analysis of the collected anthroponymic units. This allows for a characterization of the linguistic picture of the world emerging from the examined anthroponymic system. The article employs the method of semantic fields and uses the thematic classification of vocabulary applied in the WSJP. The research results indicate that the appellatives forming the studied surnames represent nearly all aspects of human life, with a dominant role played by names of animals, plants, and occupations. The analysis of anthroponyms also allows for the reconstruction of the thought patterns and cultural values of the 17th-century inhabitants of the Daleszyce parish, revealing their way of perceiving the world as well as their individual and emotional approach to the nominated persons.
