Abstract

This paper aims to outline the general theory of name and naming policy (GTNP) that is developed therein. A broad GTNP design should have a constellatory structure, and its definition should take into account the variety of actors involved in designing and conducting naming policies (NPs). This paper discusses linguistic dimensions of NPs, along with possible overtness or covertness of NPs. It outlines the hierarchy of NPs and explains possible policy ranges. The GTNP is illustrated with a general model of NPs and some examples of Central-European toponymic, anthroponymic, and chrematonymic NPs.
