Abstract

The paper is dedicated to naming and word-formation types of neological and occasional names of persons excerpted from the dictionary Hacked Czech. The Unorthodox Dictionary of Today's Mother Tongue (2018).

Their motivation, word-formation processes, language creativity, semantics, stylistic and pragmatic validity and use in communication are assessed. Represented word-formation means (affixes) are confronted with their characteristics given in the Dictionary of Affixes Used in Czech (2016).
