The research on Slovak chrematonymy / Mária Imrichová, Veronika Gondeková. -- The aim of the paper is to present the results of the research on Slovak chrematonymy. It presents the most important research projects and works studying Slovak chrematonymy. The research of Slovak onomasticians focuses mainly on the analysis of motivational, semantic, structural, and functional characteristics of individual subtypes of chrematonyms (especially logonyms, pragmato-nyms, and ideonyms). The currently studied issues include the problems of onymic status of some types of chrematonyms, the boundaries between appellatives and chrematonyms, and definition and classification of chrematonyms. The field of logonymy is studied more comprehensively, but the synthesizing processing of Slovak chrematonomy is still absent. The paper further deals with the characteristics of two projects focused on the research of Slovak chrematonyms. The former is focused on Slovak logonymy and the scholarly processing of logonyms, which began after 1989 as a reaction to the open market and the emergence of private shops and companies in the post-socialist era. The other currently solved project is focused on the description of modelling and models in chrematonymy.
