The Strange Case of Proper Names: Declension Patterns in Several Czech Onymic Classes
Original language description
The paper analyses grammatical case distributions of appellatives and elevenonymic classes (first names, surnames, inhabitant names, settlement names,territorial names, art product names, names of conferences, contests, andevents, names of companies, names of cultural and educational institutions,names of periodicals, and names connected to politics). The frequencies of the cases are taken from OnomOs, a Czech corpus with tagged proper names andcomprising articles from the left-leaning periodical of (Rudé) Právo that span the period of 1920s to 2010s. Only the proper name classes with more than 200 morphologically tagged occurrences are taken into account. The first analysis has shown that all the proper name case distributions are statistically significantly different from that of the appellatives; first names, surnames, settlement names, and company names were identified as the most deviating structures. The second analysis has pointed at similarities among anthroponymical and toponymical classes, but discovered morphologicaldiversity in case of chrematonyms. The research is to be supplemented withinvestigations focused on syntactic functions and lexical aspects of names, e.g., on collocations.
