| dc.description.abstract | The article presents the microtoponymic system of two villages located near Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, shown against
the background of their past and present. It includes the field names (53 names) of uninhabited places: land and
water objects (names of parts of the village are given exceptionally). In the analysis of language material the
author uses the semantic classification of names developed by Władysław Taszycki. Differentiation of places (e.g.
fields, meadows, forests, gorges, rivers) is reflected both in the content of names (motivation) and in their
structure. The main feature of the microtoponymic system is the dialectical background of the lexis contained in
the name, e.g. plich, kaluga, kopula, kacer // kacerz. Others are wariants of the names: Kacerne // Kacernia //
Kacerna and their alternation: Czerwony Wąwóz // Czerwony Dół // Za Krzyżem. | en |
