Konotacje wartościujące w odapelatywnych nazwiskach mieszkańców Śląska Cieszyńskiego (XIX wiek)

Abstract

In the article native appelative form surnames of the inhabitants of Śląsk Cieszyński taken from 19th century archives were described. Those surnames without derivative indicators were the basis for the search for semantic connotations (cultural and regional) present in appelative roots. While analysing the collected data the author referred to axiological semantics and considered the sociolinguistic aspects of name-giving. Moreover, references to statistical research were made.
