WSPÓŁCZESNE NAZWY POLSKICH WINNIC

The present paper is devoted to contemporary nomenclature of Polish ampelonyms. The conducted analysis of excerpts has shown that the process of their naming works in a similar way as it does in the case of other chrematonyms. The most common naming techniques are transonimization and onimization. This is how 73.4% of all analysed names originated, mostly from proprial bases (57.1%) and appellative bases (16.3%). Derivation was used to form 24% of the names, most of the ampelonyms were created by means of syntactic derivation which leads to the creation of names as a compound structure or a prepositional phrase — so much as 18.3% of all analysed onyms. The naming of vineyards is distinguished by a significant amount of words derived from toponyms (which are connected with viniculture conditions) and words derived from anthroponyms (indicating possessive and family character of vineyards).
