Summary/Abstract: The subject of the research is deanthroponymic adjectives with the suffix -ovský (baťovský ‘Baťa-esque’) in Slovak journalistic texts. The research material is a subcorpus of journalistic texts prim-10.0-public-inf with a size of almost 932 million words. The study presents the following research results: (a) the distribution of deanthroponymic adjectives depending on the sphere of action of the person whose name is the motivating unit of the adjective, (b) semantic specifications of deanthroponymic adjectives. The socio-cultural meanings of adjectives are interpreted in the categories of cognitive linguistics (conceptual metaphor and metonymy, categorization, similation, conceptual integration, anthropocentrism, contextual competence).
