Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of generic components of toponymic terms of the Russian and Czech languages. The focus of attention is both on the main terms of the studied problem (toponymy, toponym, generic component), and the process of translation of specific generic elements and generic terms. The analysis is carried out in the Russian-Czech comparative plan, the generic components of toponymic terms, related mainly to choronyms, oronyms and hydronyms, are investigated. The translation process is implemented in the appropriate terms of the host language. On the one hand, most of the generic components under study have direct equivalence in the translation process, however, on the other hand, there are also generic components, which are replaced during translation by a not quite matching generic component, i.e. they are translated with the help of semantically nearby lexical units.
