Abstract

The article presents a new model of scientific approach to onomastics as a discipline within general linguistics. The fields of terminology and stratificatin are of particular importance regarding these changes. The existing inventory of the scientific terminology is considered to be insufficient for the precise and exact analysis of the toponymic data collected during field research. The author has therefore coined a certain number of terms himself following the accepted lexicographic models which are based on the Greek and Latin vocabulary.
The author also mentions incorrect usage of certain terms in scientific literature.
After a careful review of onomastic literature the author concludes that a single unified system of exact onomastic terminology is still non-existent. Onomastics, as a branch of linguistics which studies proper names cannot be reduced to anthroponomastics and toponymy (sometimes even ethnonymy), due to the fact that the term flproper nameČ in its linguistic and theoretical sense is much more extensive and needs to be examined more carefully. To open the discussion regarding these questins in the purpose of this article.
