Abstrakt

The material for analysis is restricted to surnames consisting of two or more lexemes, whose spelling complies with current orthographic rules of the German language. The aim of the study was to determine which parts of speech appear as lexemes in compound surnames and to establish the semantic groups to which modifiers are assigned. This applies to compound names consisting of two (or more) nouns. The analysed material contains four groups of compounds: noun + noun, adjective + noun, verb + noun or noun + verb, other. Among the compounds consisting of two nouns there are ones whose first lexeme is: a proper name, the name of a thing, the name of a plant or its part, the name of an animal, an abstract name, the name of a profession, the name of a metal or a material noun.
