@ARTICLE{Horyń_Ewa_Polish_2016, author={Horyń, Ewa}, number={No 60}, journal={Onomastica}, pages={163-174}, howpublished={online}, year={2016}, publisher={Komitet Językoznawstwa PAN}, publisher={Instytut Języka Polskiego PAN}, abstract={This article deals with a group of Polish surnames motivated by lexis from the field of salt mining. The analysed surnames are excerpted from “Słownik nazwisk współcześnie w Polsce używanych”, edited by Kazimierz Rymut, as well as from other onomastic compilations. These anthroponyms vary in terms of their origins and linguistic construction. We can distinguish from among these anthroponyms: 1) surnames motivated by impersonal nouns: solanka, solnica, sól, tołpa, żupa; 2) surnames motivated by adjectives: słony, solny; 3) surnames motivated by personal nouns: prasoł, solarz, solnik, warzyc, warzysz, żupnik. The description of particular ‛salt’ surnames, apart from their frequency, includes their geographical distribution, which only in some cases is connected with the location of old salt mines, found mainly in the Lesser Poland (Małopolska).}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Polish Surnames Motivated by the Lexicon of the Salt Mining Field}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/109436/PDF-MASTER/60.11%20Hory%C5%84.pdf}, keywords={onomastics, anthroponymy, appellative surnames, lexis from the field of salt mining, onymization}, }
