Annotation
The work will focus on the research on Slovak exonyms (domestic forms of foreign geographical names) regarding their historical and cultural background, current usage (especially in relation to original forms of geographical names – endonyms), and graphic (in)consistency, based on cartographic, literary, media and journalistic sources. The aim is to analyse exonyms from a functional approach, reflecting language needs and the functioning of exonyms in communication.
