Топонимический атлас Казахстана с всплывающими подсказками (предварительная работа по составлению)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the toponymic map of Kazakhstan, which demonstrates the distribution of the main types of geographical names of substrate origin on the territory of modern Kazakhstan. The maps will contain toponyms of different categories and language groups, which give an idea of the toponymic landscape of Kazakhstan. Toponymy is inherently linguistic and includes historical, geographical, ethnographic, cultural, sociological and literary components that help identify the distinctive features of objects and traditions, which takes this direction beyond the scope of linguistics itself and makes it an autonomous discipline that uses predominantly linguistic methods. Methods closely related to the complex of humanities and earth and universe sciences. The importance of the science of place names is invaluable when studying a country. The atlases will reflect hydronyms, oikonyms, oronyms, urbanonyms, hodonyms, gorononyms, droonyms, macrotoponyms, cosmonyms, phytotoponyms, microtoponyms, anthropotoponyms and microtoponyms of various types and their areas. The maps will be compiled by IT specialists, taking into account modern requirements. It should be noted that this atlas will be periodically updated, depending on the priority areas of certain areas. In addition to old and new names, the atlas will be filled with information about the time of renaming. The electronic version of the atlas will be made in MapInfo Professional, version 9.0. The work will be of interest to specialists in linguistic geography, onomastics, archeology, and ethnography.
