Societal phenomena such as globalization, migration and the media are observable in every area of Spanish people’s daily life. This study reveals the extent of the popularity of foreign given names, mostly English, in Spanish society. English given names seem to be currently associated with such values as high fashion and social prestige. Study of variables frequency, gender and age reveal that the choice of English first names is becoming very popular. A comparative analysis of English given names in the 1960s and in the 2010s in Spain is carried out. The dataset was collected from the Spanish Institute of Statistics (INE) and the results report that English first names occur quite frequently among people aged 25 years or younger and therefore represent a new tendency. The paper includes discussion of adaptations of some of the examined English names to Spanish. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11956/96977 Paradigmatik der deutschen Adjektive in der Großen lexikalischen Datenbank Deutsch Vachková Marie The article focusing on the latest research in antonymy (Jones et al. 2012) proposes to see this lexical- semantic relation in its broader sense (oppositeness) because this view meets the needs of lexicographers who aim at a more realistic description of a variety of semantic contrasts on the parole level. The text points out issues concerning lexical selection methods on the paradigmatic level with the help of the cooccurrence analysis. Examples of web search strings which help to elicit constructions containing antonym pairs are given. These ways show an urgent need to describe antonymy in constructions which emerge in authentic language usage, not on the systemic level (langue) only. The author emphasizes that exemplifying antonymy should be rethought in the domain of word-formation: formal regularities prevail on the system level only; however, the usage shows antonymy pairs with a wide range of possible contrasts.; Der Artikel geht von der neueren Forschung im Bereich der Antonymie aus (Jones et al. 2012) und plädiert für eine breitere Auffassung der Gegensätzlichkeit für die lexikographischen Zwecke. Die lexikalisch-semantischen Relationen sollten im Wörterbuch auf der Ebene der Parole dargestellt werden, um dem Benutzer mindestens einen Teil der großen Vielfalt an semantischen Kontrasten zu bieten. Zur Auswahl der Belege dient außer der Kookkurrenzanalyse auch die Internetsuche, bei der syntaktische Konstruktionen, die auf Antonympaaren basieren, ermittelt werden. Ebenfalls auf der Ebene der Wortbildung sollten ins Wörterbuch nicht nur die automatisierten, formalen Regularitäten auf der Systemebene eingehen: Diese sollten durch authentische Kontrastpaare ergänzt werden. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11956/96680 Comparison of formation processes in English and Czech sports terminologies Cocca, Michaela; Řeřicha, Václav; Alvarado Martínez, Elizabeth Language represents one of the main factors that determine the distinctiveness and cultural identity of each branch of sport. Its rich lexicon is an indication of its diffusion and status in the society. A large number of professional and trade jargons such as coaching jargon, sports training terminologies, the language of sport sciences, sport medicine and athletes’ and sport fans’ slang have emerged from the area of sport. Each of these reflects phonetic, stylistic and morphological features of its national language. Given that English has undoubtedly become the source language of sports terminology with a vast influence on other languages, the aim of this paper is to compare the formation processes in both Czech and English sports terminologies, emphasizing the influence of English on the formation of Czech sports terms. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11956/96530 On concatenative and nonconcatenative lexeme-formation patterns in English Klégr Aleš The paper borrows the concept of (non)concatenation from morphology and applies it to wordformation patterns both within and outside the scope of derivational morphology, arguing at the same time for a broader, lexicological approach to lexeme-formation (as a model of vocabulary expansion) than that identifying word-formation with derivational morphology. It arrives at the conclusion that the binary division of lexeme-formation into either concatenative or nonconcatenative patterns does not reflect the character of many patterns accurately enough. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z
