Fungovanie antroponyma v mikrosociálnom prostredí z didaktického pohľadu

The author deals with characteristic traits of personal names in the social background in which children are educated. Especially the importance of the individual child’s own name and of the teacher’s name at the moment of the beginning of school attendance is stressed. While younger children more or less only reproduce the units of the limited inventory of words, older children start to play with the language and create new language units: the author deals especially with the creation of nicknames.
