Abstract
Comparing Hungarian and Slovakian (Slavic) onomastic terminology
The author gives a brief survey of recent research in Hungarian and Slovakian (Slavic) onomastic terminology, and compares several onomastic terms in these languages. While Hungarian onomastic terminology is characterized by the use of Hungarian terms (Hungarocentrism) and terms used only in a single language, Slovakian (Slavic) onomastic terminology is built up of terms of foreign origin (internationalism) and terms used in similar forms and with similar meanings in several languages.
