Summary/Abstract: Comparison between Czech and German Urbanonyms in Prague The research of bilingual urbanonyms (names of streets) brings interesting findings not only from historical but also from linguistic point of view. The comparison between Czech and German urbanonyms, which in Prague were used simultaneously for several centuries, shows that Czech names were conveyed into two ways: on the basis of sound assimilation and translation. The linguistic analysis of the above mentioned urbanonyms reveals orthographic, word-forming and lexical peculiarities and differences.
