Substantívum BABA a jeho deriváty v slovenskej anojkonymii a v slovníku Lexika slovenských terénnych názvov
The substantive BABA and its derivatives in Slovak anoikonymy and in the dictionary The lexis of Slovak anoikonyms

Summary/Abstract: The article briefly characterizes the printed and digital dictionary The lexis of Slovak anoikonyms. The dictionary entry baba/Baba and other entries with the base -bab-/-báb- are processed in various Slavic dictionaries of appellative and proprial lexis, including toponymic dictionaries. They will be also dealt with in this Slovak anoikonymic dictionary. In Polish onomastics, special attention to toponyms with the appellative baba and their motivations, semantics and lexicographic processing, has been devoted by E. Wolnicz-Pawłowska, in Czech onomastics by M. Šipková. The author of the present article focused on the meanings and etymology of the substantive baba in appellative lexicon and its occurrence in Slovak anoikonymy. The aim of this paper is also to analyse the Slovak anoikonymic material, to characterize structural types of the names, and to carry out lexical-semantic and language analyses of these names with emphasis on onymic motivations in the context of Slavic anoikonymy. The second part of the article deals with lexical-semantic and word-formation analyses, onymic motivations and structural types of the Slovak anoikonyms containing lexemes derived from the substantive baba/BABA in the context of Slavic anoikonymy, or rather toponymy. In Slovak anoikonyms, the forms of possessive adjectives and the relational adjective babí occur most frequently. Onymic word-formation, or name-formation, is characterized by the specific use of linguistic means in the given class of proper names, which must be taken into account when analyzing anoikonyms and anoikonymic lexis. Various possibilities of onymic motivation of the names with the same basis also point to complex issues related to the conception of dictionary entries (especially explanatory parts) and the formation of headwords of the printed and digital dictionary The lexis of Slovak anoikonyms.
