Paleozoological terminology in Jungmann’s Czech-German Dictionary
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
The paper focuses on the Czech paleozoological terminology of Jan Svatopluk Presl in Jungmann’s Czech-German Dictionary. It deals mainly with the entries denoting extinct Mesozoic and Tertiary reptiles and mammals and the sources from which the dictionary was drawn. In this case it is primarily Ssavectvo čili rukověť soustavná k poučení vlastnímu (‘Mammals or a systematic manual for self-instruction’) and Barona Jiřího Cuviera Rozprava o převratech kůry zemní a o proměnách v živočišstvu jimi způsobených (‘A discourse on the revolutions of the surface of the globe, and the changes thereby produced in the animal kingdom by Baron Georges Cuvier’). Czech paleozoological terminology originated as a part of Presl’s translation of Cuvier’s French work, which does not translate the international designation of prehistoric animals into French. Presl does not use calques as the dominant naming convention but works with a motivation of naming based on available archaeological knowledge. Of nineteen excerpted names, thirteen are included in Jungmann’s dictionary, nine of which have the structure of an entry in an explanatory dictionary, but no German equivalent is given. It is not currently possible to identify the rationale behind the inclusion of only some of the entries in the dictionary. Except for ryboještěr ‘fish-lizard’, none of the names of extinct creatures are used as part of present-day terminology.
