Official and common names of medicinal herbs in Czech and Slovene

Pričujoča magistrska naloga se ukvarja z razvojem strokovne terminologije in ljudskimi imeni zdravilnih rastlin v češčini in slovenščini. Prvi del naloge predstavi zgodovino uporabe rastlin v zdravilne namene in zgodovino razvoja uradnih poimenovanj rastlin posebej v češkem in slovenskem jeziku. Osrednji del naloge vzame pod drobnogled devet rastlin, in sicer borago (Borago officinalis), navadni bršljan (Hedera helix), navadno brezo (Betula pendula), navadno zeleno (Apium graveolens), čebulo (Allium cepa), navadni potrošnik (Cichorium intybus), česen (Allium sativum), navadni repuh (Petasites hybridus) in velecvetni lučnik (Verbascum densiflorum). Pri vsaki posamezni rastlini je predstavljen razvoj njenega uradnega imena skozi pregled od prvih ohranjenih zapisov imen rastlin v češkem in slovenskem jeziku do danes vključno z etimologijo, navedena in opisana so njena ljudska imena tako v češčini kot v slovenščini. Sledi analiza obravnavanih primerov ob poskusih primerjav razvoja rastlinske nomenklature obeh jezikov ter premislek o možnih motivacijah ljudskih poimenovanj.The following Master\u27s thesis deals with the development of official terminology and common names of medicinal plants in Czech and Slovene. The first part of the thesis presents the history of the use of plants for medicinal purposes and the history of the development of official plant names, separately in Czech and Slovenian language. The central part of the thesis seeks to analyse nine plants, namely borage (Borago officinalis), common ivy (Hedera helix), silver birch (Betula pendula), celery (Apium graveolens), onion (Allium cepa), chicory (Cichorium intybus), garlic (Allium sativum), butterbur (Petasites hybridus) and denseflower mullein (Verbascum densiflorum). For each individual plant, the development of its official name is presented through an overview from the first preserved records of plant names in Czech and Slovene to the present day, including etymology. Preserved common names of each herb are listed and described in both languages. This is followed by an analysis of the collected material from the dictionaries, an attempt to compare the development of plant nomenclature in both languages and consideration of possible motivations for common names of the nine medicinal herbs
