Abstract
Abstract. The development of toponymical cartography in Russia has a long history and rich practical experience. Cartographic methods have been used in toponymical research for many decades. Their great importance was noted by the founders of fundamental place-name study. This field is actively developing despite the considerable methodological complexity and labor intensity. Modern technologies in cartography make it possible to bring the scale and intensity of toponymic research to a new level and solve problems that have long been identified in science. This further increases the relevance of toponymic mapping and the active introduction of other techniques into the practice of local and regional toponymic research.
Highlights
Toponymy is a collection of place names
Cartographers specialize in toponymic issues even more rarely. Their interest is focused on toponymic problems in cartography, rather than on the cartographic problems of toponymy itself
The development of toponymic cartography is one of the urgent tasks of modern onomastics, especially in connection with the plans to create a Toponymic Atlas of Russia and regional toponymic atlases, which are considered as constituent elements of the all-Russian atlas and stages of the implementation of this project
Summary
People encounter them all the time, in their everyday lives even if they do not travel outside their city Intraurban names, such as the names of streets, squares, districts are a kind of toponyms. Especially for beginners, toponymic studies are quite complicated. This complexity is related to the fact that toponymy, the science of place names, is based on three major scientific conglomerates at once: geography, history, and philology. Evolve over time, and are linguistic units. Their emergence and development are influenced by the laws of the abovementioned sciences. Their interest is focused on toponymic problems in cartography (mapping toponyms, transcribing them when transferring from one language to another), rather than on the cartographic problems of toponymy itself
