Czech place names and their exonyms in parallel corpus  – between preserving the original form and adaptation

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of the paper is to present strategies for the adaptation of Czech geographical names (their translation in particular) in a foreign language texts. Using the parallel corpus InterCorp, version 13 (part of the Czech National Corpus) we look at the variants of Czech toponyms (referring to objects in the territory of the Czech Republic; settlement names, names of natural features, urban names) used in English and German translations. We analyze and interpret the strategies used to incorporate Czech toponyms into non-Slavic translations; in addition, we highlight the potential which the corpora (parallel corpora in particular) have for the research of toponyms. Given the centuriesold historical contacts between Czech and German, most Czech toponyms have a German variant (i.e., Namenpaaren), and these German variants are used rather extensively in translations. This, of course, is very unlike the case with English, but, from a historical perspective, these German variants often stand behind the English version of the place name.
