Michaela Boháčová serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Czech Language at Masaryk University's Faculty of Arts, where she conducts research within the Institute of the Czech Language. Her academic work focuses primarily on onomastics, particularly the study of place names and naming systems in the Czech context. Boháčová's research interests span urbanonymic systems, dialectal influences on geographical names, historical toponymy, and linguistic landscape analysis. She has extensively examined naming conventions in Brno's housing estates, vineyard routes, and multilingual urban environments. Her work demonstrates how cultural, historical, and political factors shape naming practices and how these names reflect community identity and historical development. Her publication record shows consistent scholarly output across multiple formats including journal articles, conference presentations, book chapters, reviews, and editorial work. Recent research trends indicate a growing focus on the transformation of urban naming systems, particularly in post-socialist contexts, and the preservation of dialectal forms within standardized geographical nomenclature. As an active researcher, Boháčová participates in academic conferences, delivers requested lectures, and contributes to scholarly discourse through editorial work and reviews of significant publications in her field.
