Tytuł: O najbardziej typowych zmianach morfemicznych i fonologiczno-fonetycznych w toponimii słoweńskiej

Abstrakt:

In proper name etymology the word-formation analysis, i.e. identifying the model used to form thename, is of particular importance, alongside the phonological and semantic aspects. The paper showsthat the competition between equivalent affixes played an important role in the formation of Sloveniantoponyms.Due to numerous innovations in the phonological/phonetic development of the Slovenian language,historical records importantly contribute to the etymological analysis of toponyms, as do extant vernacularforms of the name together with their adjectival and demonymic derivations.As expected, finding the counterparts in other Slavic languages — or confirming their non‑existence— often proved very useful when analysing Slovenian toponyms.Likewise, the present study once more shows that linguistic development is characterized by bothlinguistic systematicity and therefore linguistic predictability, and also linguistic non‑systematicity andtherefore linguistic unpredictability (Furlan 2016: 145).
