This Diploma Thesis (=DT) deals with processes of word-formation which bring about surnames in the English and Czech languages. On the basis of the analysis of the particular amount of surnames it aims to assess, which word-formation processes come into the creation of surnames. The DT is divided in two parts {--} theoretical and practical - and it is completed by the conclusion. The theoretical part investigates and compiles the subjects of word-formation and processes of word-formation in both languages, describes the origin of English and Czech surnames and evokes the subject of the processes of word-formation that come into the creation of surnames in English and Czech. The practical part is based on the analysis of the surnames that were chosen from the Prague and London telephone book by arrangement with the tutor of the DT. In the final part the author presents the conclusions of the research.

<p>Titel: New Blends in the English Language</p><p>Författare: Anna Enarsson</p><p>Antal sidor: 29</p><p>Abstract: The aim of this essay was to identify new blends that have entered the English language. Firstly six different word-formation processes, including blending, was described. Those were compounding, clipping, backformation, acronyming, derivation and blending. The investigation was done by using a list of blends from Wikipedia. The words were looked up in the Longman dictionary of 2005 and in a dictionary online. A google search and a corpus investigation were also conducted. The investigation suggested that most of the blends were made by clipping and the second most common form was clipping and overlapping. Blends with only overlapping was unusual and accounted for only three percent. The investigation also suggested that the most common way to create blends by clipping was to use the first part of the first word and the last part of the second word. The blends were not only investigated according to their structure but also according to the domains they occur in. This part of the investigation suggested that the blends were most frequent in the technical domain, but also in the domain of society</p>
