| Abstract: | The paper is focused on toponyms whose nomination act or later development is connected with the process of analogy. Two main types of analogy are analysed: (1) analogy based on motivation of toponyms and (2) formal analogy. The first type of analogy affects the nomination act; its use often leads either to a rise of an opposition or to a creation of a local toponymic system. The second type of analogy analysed influences the development of individual toponyms: the form of one name can cause a change in the form and/or grammatical properties of other names. |
