Co onomasta ma z religioznawcą? Ku onomastyce interdyscyplinarnej (na przykładzie nazw kościołów i związkow wyznaniowych w Polsce

In this article we present several problems connected with the so-called interdisciplinarity of contemporary onomastics. We consider, among other things, the eclecticism of its methodology and the degree of “equality of rights” of various social and humanistic sciences in the study of personal names. At the same time, we present a dialog position in this matter that is based on coexistence without conflict as partners in linguistics and other fields of knowledge in the scientific description of onyms. To illustrate the usefulness of such dialog thinking in onomastics, we analyze the names of churches and denominational connections from the perspective of linguistics (narratology) and onomastics as well as sociology and history of religion. It is our judgment that, thanks to such a multifaceted treatment of linguistic material, we can more fully show the complexity of these names’ motivation, their historical origin, and the multiplicity of functions fulfilled at present in the sphere of religious and social life.
