Studie o pádové distribuci proprií

Tereza Klemensová a Michal Místecký publikovali společnou studii, ve které se zabývají pádovou distribucí proprií v korpusu OnomOs. Článek „The Strange Case of Proper Names: Declension Patterns in Several Czech Onymic Classes“ vyšel v časopisu Onomastica Uralica.

Abstract
The paper analyses grammatical case distributions of appellatives and eleven onymic classes (first names, surnames, inhabitant names, settlement names, territorial names, art product names, names of conferences, contests, and events, names of companies, names of cultural and educational institutions,
names of periodicals, and names connected to politics). The frequencies of the cases are taken from OnomOs, a Czech corpus with tagged proper names and comprising articles from the left-leaning periodical of (Rudé) Právo that span the period of 1920s to 2010s. Only the proper name classes with more than 200
morphologically tagged occurrences are taken into account. The first analysis has shown that all the proper name case distributions are statistically significantly different from that of the appellatives; first names, surnames, settlement names, and company names were identified as the most deviating structures. The second analysis has pointed at similarities among anthroponymical and toponymical classes, but discovered morphological diversity in case of chrematonyms. The research is to be supplemented with investigations focused on syntactic functions and lexical aspects of names, e.g., on collocations.
