Antroponymá typu Antihamlet, Lžidimitrij, Pseudomauríkios/ Pseudo-Mauríkios (o pravopisnej stránke kompozitných antroponým modifikovaných prefixmi/ prefixoidmi)
Anthroponyms such as Antihamlet, Lzhidimitri, Pseudomaurikios/ Pseudo-Mauríkios (on the Spelling of Composite Anthroponyms Modified by Prefixes/ Prefixoids)

Summary/Abstract: In this article we discuss the word-forming, semantic and orthographic problems of a specific group of anthroponyms with the word-forming structure that combines prefixoid and anthroponym (Antihamlet, Lžidimitrij, Pseudomauríkios). We define the category of culturally symbolic anthroponym, role or situational anthroponym and conceptual anthroponym. We also address the appellativization of such anthroponyms – antijánošík, pseudojánošík. We pay separate attention to the names of historical pseudo-authors (Pseudomaurikios, Pseudoherodotos, Pseudolonginos) and we provide arguments why it is necessary to respect also the yet uncodified spelling of such anthroponyms – Pseudo-Maurikios, Pseudo-Herodotos, Pseudo-Longinus –, relying on the communicative requirements and specific functions of such names in the professional fields in which they originate and are used.
