Slovanský jazykový atlas – vzťah jazyka a historicko-spoločenských fenoménov z areálového hľadiska (Životnému jubileu Jana Basaru)
Slavic Linguistic Atlas – a Historical and Cultural Phenomena in the Areal Aspects

Summary/Abstract: Researches in the historical linguistic and dialectology were from a long time ago and always will remain a part and mean of national identification, especially in time when the searching for national identity has got a support in the natural, uncontrolled language development and when it respects a past experience. Semantic analysis of vocabulary in dialects of particular Slavonic languages after a complex area elaboration – for instance in the Slavic Linguistic Atlas project – gives a testimony to differentiation as well as integration features of examined items with surrounding language environment. On several illustrative examples, such as dedina („village“), strom („tree“), hora („forest“), the author points out the constants that are permanent identifying features of Slovak language and that, in course of natural development from a supra-dialect sphere in the pre-standard period, have become constituent parts of the contemporary standard Slovak.
