Abstract

The aim of the paper is to emphasize the importance of source criticism in etymological research. It is widely known that the main sources for the early history of toponyms in the Carpathian Basin are the charters created in the medieval Hungarian Kingdom, because these official documents contained a large number of vernacular proper names embedded in the Latin text. However, it is important to mention that the medieval charters were produced by the chancery and places of authentication along specific principles and needs. I argue that this circumstance must always be considered during the interpretation of the data. I will show some examples illustrating that – in certain cases – we have to take into account the nature of the sources in the reconstruction of the genesis of place names. My goal is to offer a brief outline of this issue through my own investigations.
对词源学研究中数据和来源的解释
本文的目的是强调源批评在词源学研究中的重要性。众所周知,喀尔巴阡盆地早期地名历史的主要来源是中世纪匈牙利王国制定的宪章,因为这些官方文件包含了大量嵌入拉丁文本的方言专有名称。然而,重要的是要提到,中世纪的宪章是由大法官和认证场所根据特定的原则和需要制作的。我认为,在解释数据时必须始终考虑到这种情况。我将举出一些例子,说明在某些情况下,我们在重建地名的起源时必须考虑到来源的性质。我的目标是通过我自己的调查,对这个问题提供一个简短的概述。
