Abstract: Modern metropolises, such as Warsaw, are dynamically transforming their urban spaces to meet the evolving needs of their residents, both human and animal. One manifestation of these changes is the development of infrastructure dedicated to pets, including dog parks. The aim of this article is to analyze the distribution, accessibility, and functions of dog parks in Warsaw, as well as to assess their role in social integration and potential isolation of users. The field study included the inventory and mapping of 16 parks, as well as in-depth interviews with their users. The results showed that dog parks play a crucial role in the urban ecosystem, contributing to the building of social bonds, although they may be perceived as exclusionary spaces by those who prefer to walk their dogs freely. The article provides valuable insights into the development of pet-friendly urban infrastructure, emphasizing the importance of considering user feedback in the planning and modernization of these spaces.

Key words: dog parks, dog runs, public spaces, Warsaw, Poland

Abstract: The aim of the article is to identify the residential preferences of non-heteronormative individuals living in Warsaw and to determine the factors that are most important to this group of residents when choosing a place to live. Understanding these preferences can help in better shaping the city’s housing and spatial policies, supporting inclusivity and equality for all its residents. To achieve this goal, a survey was conducted among LGBT+ individuals in Warsaw between March 1 and April 30, 2020, with responses received from 100 participants. The results of the study reveal the complexity of residential decisions for this group, which are shaped by a variety of factors. LGBT+ individuals choose their places of residence not only based on pragmatic aspects but also in search of environments where they can feel accepted and safe. The study found general satisfaction with living in Warsaw and identified central districts as the most LGBT+ friendly areas.

Key words: non-heteronormative individuals, non-heteronormativity, LGBT+, quality of life, Warsaw, Poland

Nazewnictwo miejskie jako problem tłumaczeniowy. Analiza wybranych przykładów z oficjalnego portalu turystycznego miasta stołecznego Warszawy

Abstract: This paper focuses on urbanonyms as a translation problem. Analyzing the urban names selected from the official tourist portal of Warsaw in the source language (Polish), and their equivalents in the two target languages (English and Spanish), the author indicates the diversity of translation techniques and considers the possibilities of their unification with regard to specific types of naming, taking into account the functional aspect of the text, the needs of the recipient and the purpose of inter-lingual communication. The translation solutions presented, be it unique or repetitive, are illustrative of the difficulties requiring a systemic approach. The author emphasizes the influence of historical tradition on the formation of recognized equivalents, standing in some sense in opposition to the currently most desirable simple and unambiguous localizing equivalents.

Key words: urban onomasticon / urbanonyms, functional aspect of text, function of localization, cultural function, translation technique, recognized (official) equivalent

Ciekawy przypadek ulicy Jana Kochanowskiego na warszawskich Piaskach

Abstract: The article is a case study of Jana Kochanowskiego Street in Warsaw. The starting point is the statement on the late naming of the street with the name of the most important Polish pre-romantic poet in the capital city of Poland (in comparison to naming streets after minor poets). The author presents the circumstances that led to this situation and recreates the contexts accompanying the belated inclusion of Jan Kochanowski in the canon of writers who were preferred eponyms of streets in the capital of Poland after WWI. Next, he tries to compare Kochanowskiego Street in Warsaw with Kochanowskiego Streets in other large cities of Poland.

Key words: street names, public space, Jan Kochanowski, street eponyms, interwar period, Warsaw, cultural heritage of the Partitions period

Abstract: This article focuses on one segment of a large corpus of urban naming – names referring to the literature. Using the example of Warsaw, the author has identified these names, distinguished three major categories of them, and also analysed their location. The category of names that commemorate writers and poets turned out to be the dominant one in terms of numbers, although there are also surprisingly significant amount of names referring to literary works. Names referring to writers and literary works often appear in clusters.

Key words: Warsaw, urban naming, street naming, literature

Abstract: This article focuses on the street naming in the Radość neighbourhood in the Wawer district of Warsaw. It draws attention to a very specific timing of naming streets in this part of the capital. The names result from the changes introduced as late as the second half of the 20th century. 82 contemporary names, some of them changed, are semantically analysed.

Key words: urbanonyms, street names, Warsaw, Wawer, Radość

Między Aleją Świerczewskiego a Mostem Grota. Druga wojna światowa w polityce pamięci historycznej PRL na przykładzie warszawskiego nazewnictwa miejskiego

Between Świerczewskiego Avenue and Grota Bridge. World War II in the politics of memory of the People’s Republic of Poland on the example of the urban naming in Warsaw

Abstract: City names are one of the most important tools of politics of memory – the politically conditioned shaping of public perceptions of the past. In Warsaw after 1945, the ruling communists pursued a naming programme in which they referred to figures, events and symbols associated with World War II. As a result, a canon of city names was created, which included both references to the ‘official’, communist vision of history and ‘alternative’ themes of an independence-oriented nature.

Key words: toponymy, People’s Republic of Poland, politics of memory, Warsaw, World War II

„Własne nazwy” getta warszawskiego jako językowa reakcja na okupacyjną rzeczywistość

“Own names” of the Warsaw Ghetto as a linguistic reaction to the reality under the German occupation

Abstract: The information about the creation of the ghetto in Warsaw was announced on 12 October 1940, and the final closure took place just over a month later. Ultimately, more than 400,000 people were imprisoned within the ghetto walls. The need to organise life in a reality that was completely different from that of the pre-war time led many Warsaw Jews to reflect on the essence of the ghetto and try to compare this phenomenon to other, often better, though usually only theoretically familiar places and spaces. Hence the large number of synonymous, entirely unofficial terms for the ghetto, referring to its various features. The most common terms include: labyrinth, trap, closed city, prison or camp, although apart from the most popular ones, both period sources and postwar memoirs contain many unobvious metaphors for the Warsaw Ghetto, its peculiar new “own names”, created from scratch, whether as a result of a deeper reflection or simply stemming from the need of the moment, as a reaction to what was happening around. A handful of the most interesting, least known and at the same time very telling names will be presented, together with the context of their creation.

Key words: Warsaw Ghetto, naming, describing, toponymy, synonyms, metaphors

Współczesne tendencje urbanonimiczne w Szczecinie na przykładzie nazw restauracji

Abstract: The research task was to trace the names of Szczecin restaurants existing in 2020–2022. The aim of the study was to show which naming tendencies exist in the contemporary urban names of Szczecin. The gathered onymic collection was subjected to semantic and formal analysis. On the basis of the study of the names of selected restaurants in Szczecin, it can be concluded that two opposing linguistic tendencies clash in the contemporary urban naming of Szczecin: 1. striving to revert to native names and 2. adopting foreign names. The onyms created in this way create a semantically and structurally heterogeneous collection of urbanonyms.

Key words: linguistics, onomastics, urbanonymy, restaurant names, Szczecin
