| Description | An outline of the history of the region of Hlučín County located in Opava Silesia facilitates bringing the problem area closer and understanding it. On the basis of the Register of Births of the Royal Prussian Registraf Based in Hoschialkowith in Ratibor County (containing in its absolute majority names of Czech origin) the author presents a typology of Czech-German phonic substitutes and their graphic reflections in surnames used after the introduction of the German language as the only official language, the language of offices and schools (1874). Furthermore, the author analyzes the problem of changing family names, their re-czechization, both on the level of phonic and graphic realization. In the conclusion, the author points to several issues pertaining to science of names (related in a general way to the discipline), an analysis of which ought to consederably enrich the research of this kind in Upper Silesia. |
