(Summary) Researches in historical anthroponyms of specific regions that are stated in various historical documents, in the aspects of nature and composition, are very relevant. Studies about surnames are rarer. Master‘s paper ,,Surnames in Kursenai parish (according to ,,The Pre-marriage Book“) in 1925–1927“ is one of the works from the latter category. The subject-matter – the surnames in Kursenai parish in 1925–1927 (662 surnames), selected from ,,The Pre-marriage Book“ stored in the archives of Kursenai Church. The purpose of the study is to study the surnames from the compositional (structural) and derivational point of view. The two main tasks were set: 1) to classify the surnames, to identify the dominant type of surname structure in the analyzed region; 2) to discuss the largest resources of surname derivation, to highlight the peculiarities of surname derivation of Kursenai citizens. The main method used in this study – analytic descriptive. The elements comparative and calculation methods were applied to summarize the results of the study. While analyzing the composition (structure) of the surnames one uses types of partial morphemic analysis (for male surnames) and compositional analysis (female surnames). In the first part ,,The overview of anthroponimical studies in Lithuania“ the main Lithuanian anthroponomical studies are discussed. Two study trends were identified: historical anthroponomical and contemporary surnames. In the second part ,,Structure of... [to full text]

The diploma thesis is focused on the comparison of motivation and language motivation of Czech and Swedish surnames. In the theoretical part, the current situation and developement of surnames are described and motivation types of bynames which later formed surnames are defined. The practical part of the thesis introduces the method, hypothesis and results of research which was focused on dividing 500 of the most frequent Czech and Swedish surnames into groups according to motivation and language motivation. The most common among Czech surnames are those created from first names and those consisting of nature elements; the most numerous groups among Swedish surnames are composite burgher surnames with natural motifs and patronymical surnames.

Subject of this thesis falls under the onomastic section, more precisely under its sub-section, antroponomastics, which is a branch specializing in origin, creation, distribution and character of names of people. In this thesis that is divided in two sections, I will research into types of surnames in the town of České Budějovice. The first section is theoretical and shortly introduces the development of surnames since their origin. The second section is practical ? investigative and addresses their concrete zoning in České Budějovice. As a part of the practical section there is also a synopsis of surnames divided in several groups based on a variety of criteria. At the end of the thesis there is an index of surnames in alphabet order containing also the exact pages with their appearance.

第一章 導言（動機、目的與研究方法） 姓名是人類生活中最常接觸，也最為特殊的一種語言符號。除了特指個人的區別功能外，它其中更隱含了深層的文化內涵。因此本論文將以文化的角度切入，藉由姓名這個跨文化、跨種族的現象，來了解、分析和比較俄漢兩民族在各個文化層面的異同。 第二章 理論基礎與文獻參考 姓名是語言和文化的複合體，它們之間的關係密不可分。因此國情語言學、文化語言學以及社會語言學這三門研究語言與文化關聯的學科，將成為本論文的研究基礎之一。 此外，本論文所探討的主題是姓名，自然也脫離不了專門研究姓名的俄國姓名學、專名學及中國百家姓、姓氏學、譜牒學等學科的範圍。而在比較俄漢兩民族姓名異同及其文化內涵的研究方面，又與對比語言學及對比文化學息息相關。因此，本章分成四節，就以上學科進行介紹與討論。 第三章 俄漢姓名的歷史發展 姓名這個跨文化、跨種族的社會現象，反映了各個不同民族的文化風俗、歷史背景、生活習慣、心理狀態及思考模式等。因此各民族姓名的發展過程，也各有異同。 本章第一、二節將先分別介紹俄漢兩民族姓名的起源以及其發展過程。最後在第三節的部分，再加以整理歸納，比較兩國姓名發展與由來的異同現象。 第四章俄漢姓氏的來源與異同 由於中俄姓氏發展過程中的種種差別，兩國姓氏的來源，自然會有所不同。例如：俄國有許多源自東正教節日或是教堂名稱的姓氏；我國卻很少有來自宗教的姓氏產生。但人類生活及思考模式，仍有一定的通性，這使得俄漢兩民族的姓氏來源，不乏相同之處。譬如：兩民族都有來自地名、職業的姓氏等。 所以在本章第一、二節當中，將先分別深入探討及介紹俄國和中國兩個民族的姓氏來源。第三節中，再比較及整理歸納兩者間的相同和不同之處。 第五章 俄漢命名習俗及其異同 姓名發展的歷程會反映各民族社會、文化的情況。特別是命名的習俗，更與人們的生活習慣、風俗民情，有切身的關聯。而每個民族，所處的地理環境和社會文化的差異，也都會反映在命名習俗中。如：俄國人習慣依據曆書，來為孩子取教名；中國人則常依照姓名學的學說，替小孩命名。然而，人類共通的心理狀態，及文明發展的相似歷程，卻使得各民族的命名習俗有雷同之處。如：中俄兩民族都常運用傳統美德來為孩子命名，但兩國所強調的美德，卻因宗教、文化的差異，而有所不同。 而本章第一、二節，將先分別討論中俄兩民族的命名習俗。第三節再將兩者做深入的分析與比較。 第六章 俄漢姓氏之使用習慣與文化意涵 人與人之間複雜的人際關係，很難透過一個姓名，完全的表達出來。因此在姓名實際運用之時，便產生了許多其他的形式，藉此表達人際關係的親疏遠近。這也是造成姓名中內涵深層文化意義的主因之一。 而在本章的第一節當中，將先從人們的生活著眼，探討俄漢雙方使用姓名習慣之異同。第二節再藉由文學作品中的人物姓名，研究作家如何運用姓名的諧音、語意聯想及文化內涵，來塑造人物形象，激起讀者的情感與共鳴。 第七章 結論（總結與建議） 綜合前述各章節之理論與現象，為俄漢兩民族的姓名形式、來源、發展與文化內涵等，做整合的整理與比較。最後，再提出建議，希望未來的俄語學習者，能因此更了解俄國人運用姓名的習慣，避免溝通上的誤解。此外，今後在閱讀俄國小說作品之時，也可藉由姓名的變換及巧思，更清楚的了解作品中人物的性格及他們的關係變化。 1. 使得語言的學習者，能透過姓名這個普遍的現象，去了解一個民族的文化風俗和歷史背景等各方面。2. 對於學習俄語的人來說，透過姓名的研究，能夠更明白俄國人稱名道姓及表示交情遠近的習慣。將來在與俄國人交際、溝通的時候，便不會因為錯誤的表達，而導致誤解或是不愉快的經驗。3. 閱讀俄語之小說作品時，能更了解人物姓名的義涵，並體會作者所塑造的人物性格、人物形象，及作品中人物的關係變化。4. 在俄和姓名的發展歷程，以及影響姓名發展的社會、文化背景等方面，本論文都做了詳細的探討。因此對於中俄社會、歷史與文化發展等方面有興趣的研究與學習者來說，本論文也提供了相當豐富的參考資料。 / Languages, which play a very important role in daily life of every people, are a part of culture. Surnames and names, which particularly belong to human beings, are a special kind of language symbols and also a part of every culture. Researching names and surnames is a key to know about a people's culture. However, there are many differences between Chinese and Russian culture and this diversity also influences on the form, meaning, development and applyment of Chinese and Russian names. In this thesis, we will study Chinese and Russian names through the point of view of culture and find out the common and different places between them.

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.

Yes / Marital surname change is a striking example of the survival of tradition. A practice emerging from patriarchal history has become embedded in an age of de-traditionalisation and women’s emancipation. Is the tradition of women’s marital name change just some sort of inertia or drag, which will slowly disappear as modernity progresses, or does this tradition fulfil more contemporary roles? Are women and men just dupes to tradition, or alternatively do they use tradition to further their aims? We examine how different approaches - individualisation theory, new institutionalism and bricolage - might tackle these questions. This examination is set within a comparative analysis of marital surname change in Britain and Norway, using small qualitative samples. We find that while individualisation and new institutionalism offer partial explanations, bricolage offers a more adaptable viewpoint.
