Abstract

The study deals with appellativization of proper names, using as its base selected personal names (surnames). Looking at opinion journalism texts in the Czech National Corpus, corpus SYN, version 11, we investigate aspects of word-formation within appellativization of personal names Masaryk, Beneš, Hitler, Stalin – including frequencies of parts of speech and word-formation types (derivation, composition) with respect to their productivity and word-formation potential.
