Beobachtung - Benennung - mündliche Bewahrung über Jahrhunderte. Die Mundartform Schiebock für Bischofswerda als unklarer 'Merkzettel'

Abstract

In this article the dialect form and its history of a German place-name is discussed. Although this dialect-form has already been found to be of Slavonic origin according to a leading linguist of Sorbian languages this article adds another comparable Sorbian vernacular form of an other place-name unconsidered up till now. In this way two dialect forms are the sources in character and value of primary Old-Sorbian place-names formed in the Middle Ages and have been existing thus without any written traditional forms for many centuries.
