Linguistic and cultural dimensions of Slovak onomastics in Slavistics research

Abstract

In his paper the author argues that interdisciplinary research and collaboration between different scientific branches are important in ensuring that research captures the wider picture. The author ascertains common points in history, ethnology, dialectology, and folkloristics by looking at various examples of onomastic research conducted in Slovakia. The research findings are part of broad pan-Slavic research and are important in Slovak Slavistics as well. © 2013 Versita Warsaw and Springer-Verlag Wien.
