• Title:
  Foreign proper names and the theory of lexical motivation
• Creator:
  Ološtiak, Martin
• Description:
  The paper deals with adaptation of foreign proper names (FPN) in Slovak. The issue is analysed from the viewpoint of the theory of lexical motivation (first proposed by J. Furdík). As far as FPN are concerned, two types of lexical motivation are highlighted, namely onymic motivation and interlingual motivation. Onymic motivation concerns proper nouns and interlingual motivation concerns loan-words. The paper treats the problem of co-occurrence of the above mentioned two types of motivation, and their occurrence in conjunction with other motivation types, namely word-formation motivation (word-formation adaptation of FPN), syntactic motivation (concerning multi-word expressions), phonic motivation (concerning lexemes with a marked form), abbreviation motivation (concerning abbreviations). The exemplification is based on the corpus of English proper nouns, taken from Slovník anglických vlastných mien v slovenčine (Dictionary of English Proper Names in Slovak; Ološtiak et al. 2006).
