Tendencie k nesklonnosti cudzích antroponymických maskulín v slovenčine

The present article analyses the declension, specifically tendencies towards non-declension of foreign personal names (masculines). These tendencies are influenced by the following factors: compatibility of form of a name with the Slovak declension system, naturalness of formal ending of a name, its structural type (i. e. the number of components), adherence to an anthroponomical class: type of a name - first name or family name), number of syllables and some other circumstances.
