Anoikonyms and their Compilation into the Dictionary of Moravian and Silesian Anoikonyms – Minor Place Names

Summary/Abstract: Anoikonyms and their Compilation into the Dictionary of Moravian and Silesian Anoikonyms – Minor Place Names This article introduces new project of the electronic Dictionary of Moravian and Silesian Anoikonyms (DMSA) which is being compiled at the Department of Dialectology of the Institute of the Czech Language of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Brno as a parallel to the Dictionary of Minor Place Names in Bohemia, compiled at the Department of Onomastics of the same institute in Prague. The article accounts for the reasons leading to the compilation of the Dictionary (most notably the unique material and theoretical and methodological conception of the Czech onomastic school) and highlights linguistic interconnections, especially the Czech-German connection reflected in Moravian and Silesian anoikonymy. It describes the basic characteristics of the Dictionary, which is dominated by material analysis and the onomastic interpretation of names comprising numerous dialectal forms. It introduces the basic types of entries, outlines their structure and adds some entries (including the maps depicting the geolinguistic distribution of the anoikonyms) to demonstrate the conception of the DMSA.
