Štúr Institute ofLinguistics. We have chosen four representative names of family members – ujo, teta, strýko, stryná.The principle of interpretation is a study of distribution of the lexemes by area and their relationswith word-formation under the influence of the intercultural contacts and language stabilizationof the status quo. The main part of the study are maps of dialects with area distribution of featureswhich are a reliable source for research in the wider Slavic context.
