The toponymical palimpsest: renaming as a symbolic (re)construction of space and place

Theoretical approaches to renaming as present within critical toponymy and cultural geography are described in the article. The critical approach presumes neglecting the traditional etymological studies and considers toponymy as a reflection and a projection of certain social processes. A geographical approach to the social meanings of renamed places is suggested to develop this paradigm by means of explaining the multiplicity of a place. The place itself as a notion, a center of human meanings and a starting point of the unite world view is used as a domain for the suggested approach. The critical geographical paradigm is combined with the representational approaches typical for new cultural and humanistic geography in order to create a stereoscopical vision of a place through the multiplicity of its meanings, images, lived social practices and semiotic signs. Developing the notion of geoconceptualization of a place within its renaming a palimpsestic approach in toponymic studies is stated. Geoconcept are regarded not only as linked to certain place images and meanings, but also as a part of the process of the endless process of the new world views’ formation. The toponymical palimpsest reveals the multiplicity of renamed place as semiotic resignification thus turning a geoconcept into an intertext.

Level of study of ono mastic ethnonies

The expansion of onomastic research in Uzbek linguistics has led to the development, formation and development of this scientific field. He has defended his doctoral and master's theses on the study of Uzbek names and toponyms, published dozens of monographs, collections and pamphlets, and many articles. All this indicates that Uzbek onomastics is a unique scientific field of linguistics. Language as an instrument of social communication is inextricably linked with the history of society, because every change that takes place in society leaves its mark on its language. That is why linguistic materials help to cover certain aspects of the history of society, where historical documents and written monuments are weak. Thus, a nation is a linguistic, territorial, economic, and cultural unit that precedes a nation. Ethnic tribes began to form during the formation of tribal alliances. Ethnic groups are usually made up of several tribes with the same origin and language, or tribes that have been mixed and conquered by one another.

Creating a Toponymic Map of the Middle Volga Region Based on the Materials of the P. S. Pallas Expedition of 1768–1769

The paper presents a study of toponyms attested by Academician Peter Simon Pallas during his expedition in the Middle Volga region (on the territory of the modern Samara and Ulyanovsk regions) in 1768–1769. The study data is retrieved from his Travels to Different Provinces of the Russian State, published originally in the German language. The book has never been considered as a source on historical toponymy of the Middle Volga Region which explains the authors’ interest to it. The first part of the paper provides various linguo-statistical data on local toponyms found by Pallas: their distribution by types of geographical objects; phonetic, morphological, structural, and other changes that these place names have undergone over 250 years. The second part contains a toponymic map created from Pallas’s records. The map uses GIS technologies and contains information on the geographical distribution of the mentioned Middle Volga toponyms belonging to different cultural strata: most ancient are Iranian, later ones — Finno-Ugric and Turkic, and the latest are Slavic. On the one hand, these materials help restore the linguo-geographic picture of different ethnic groups formerly attested in the Middle Volga region, and on the other hand, they provide a basis for further linguistic research into the regional toponymy.

About some outdated folk geographical terms of the west of Novgorod lands

In the article, based on the materials of Novgorod scribe books, the features of the two main semantic groups of toponyms in the west of medieval Novgorod lands are considered — place names indicating the connection of the named object with another object and place names indicating the morphology of the object. The analytical part of the article is preceded by a brief description of the toponymic study of the region and an analysis of the key natural features of the region that affect the nomination of settlements; the article substantiates the geological and geographical informativeness of the names of settlements in medieval Novgorod lands. The author suggests considering a separate group of toponyms of a mixed type – locative-qualitative, especially characteristic of the early stages of the formation of the toponymic picture of the region (the initial fixation of the most place names of the small villages in official state documents). The author's versions of the origin of such bases in toponyms as: lez'e (wing of the bend), kilom (wedge — for a land area isolated by water with a characteristic wedge-shaped shape) are proposed. Also by author's are proposed the locative and qualitative component in the place names of a number of disappeared and preserved villages on the territory of the former Vodskaya Pyatina. Author proposes a version of the appearance of dialect folk geographical terms on the territory of Novgorod lands.

This article deals with the study of toponyms of Kazakh and English toponymy in the context of cognitive linguistics and the mechanism of interpretation of representation and perception of color names in toponyms and the principles of construction of these mechanisms. Toponyms are analyzed as a speech expression processed in the consciousness of the linguistic image of the world-the relationship of man and the environment. The modern stage of place names in cognitive research includes the consideration of language as one of the cognitive subsystems and onomastic vocabulary in the formulation of surrounding truths. The composition of the national toponymic picture of the world determines the motivation of the land-water names made in relation to the color names. Studying the combination of onym appellation, nominated from the attributes of the colors used in both languages. The color designation in toponyms is considered in connection with the peculiarities of geographical objects and their perception by human visual organs. Due to the fact that the external world is transmitted to different peoples in the form of specific idioethnic patterns, in place names of different ethnic groups, color symbols are recognized by new facets. The article discusses the color characteristics of the space in the names earth-water, given as a sample. Various approaches to the nature of the color components of geographical names are analyzed, and the possibility of symbolic and orientational interpretation of color is shown. The fact that the color in toponyms can serve as an orientation function, and not just as an indicator of the horizon side, also does not go unnoticed. The toponyms also present the results of research related to the nature of the object in which the symbolism of color orientation is nominated.

Panorama histórico dos estudos toponímicos em libras no Brasil

A toponímia é a área da linguística que se dedica aos nomes próprios de lugares. Os estudos toponímicos relacionados às línguas de modalidade oral-auditiva são tradicionais no Brasil. Em línguas de modalidade visual-espacial, no entanto, são raros. O presente artigo objetiva fazer um apanhado das pesquisas que se dedicam à toponímia em Libras em território brasileiro, observando as contribuições de cada estudo e as perspectivas futuras para a área.

Toponymy with indigenous influence in Belo Horizonte neighborhoods

Os estudos toponímicos na cidade de Belo Horizonte oferecem interessantes possibilidades de análise pelo fato de a capital mineira ter sido inicialmente planejada e construída em um curto período de tempo e, posteriormente, ter apresentado grande crescimento territorial e demográfico, desenvolvendo-se sob distintas influências e em diferentes momentos ao longo das décadas seguintes à sua fundação. No campo da toponímia, uma dessas influências é aquela de origem indígena. O presente trabalho propõe-se a contribuir para a compreensão da influência indígena na toponímia de Belo Horizonte, demonstrando, a partir de uma pesquisa linguística de caráter léxico-toponímico, a influência de línguas indígenas brasileiras na adoção dos nomes dos bairros belo-horizontinos. Foram analisados os nomes atuais de todos os 512 bairros da capital mineira, identificando aqueles que possuem alguma influência indígena em sua formação. Foram realizadas então análises morfológica e etimológica desses topônimos, que foram ainda classificados de acordo com a taxonomia toponímica, contribuindo assim para os estudos sobre a toponímia belo-horizontina e, de maneira mais geral, para a área de toponímia urbana de influência indígena no Brasil, fornecendo subsídios para que pesquisadores e a própria comunidade (re)contem as histórias dos primeiros habitantes dos bairros da capital mineira.

To the question of place and time of the beginning of the process of development of culture of Sami people on the example of cultural succession of applied art

The subject of this research is the cultural succession of decorative elements of the ethnic ornament of Sami people. In light of the migration past, the question is raised on the possibility of simultaneous assimilation and introduction into their culture of ornaments and words by the Ancient Sami population. Special attention is given to the examples of explicit concurrence of the elements. The author sets a scientific task to find the evidence of residence of the Ancient Sami people in the territory of northwest of Kostroma Region in Russia from the perspective of cultural succession. The main research method consists in the synthesis of various sciences. Archaeological research alongside the data from historical records and toponymic studies allow comparing the data in the field culture and applied art. Leaning on the analysis of literature and images, the author structures the chain of logical reasoning . The acquired data give understanding of the visual expression of the regional cultural heritage and possible assimilation of the elements of decor by the people who abandoned the territory centuries ago. The result of this research consists in providing the evidence of cultural succession, determination of timeframe and geographical area with regards to assimilation of the elements applied art of other ethnoses by the Ancient Sami population. The novelty of this work lies in comparison of decorative patterns of different generations and ethnoses, and the fact of formation of the general basic culture of Sami people. The conclusion consists in detecting the presence of decorative elements of the Mari ornament in the Sami ornament based on the analysis of various sciences. This proves the succession of cultural heritage of this region throughout multiple generations.

On certain structural models of Chamalal toponyms

This article is dedicated to the analysis of structural models of toponyms in Chamalal language. Current realities are such that examination of toponymic system of any region deserves special attention. Research of the system must be based on studying the characteristic toponymic structures, which prompts the onomatologists to systematize them in accordance with structural peculiarities. Structural analysis of toponyms with determination of toponymic models and affixes is framework and a so-called approach towards further research. The subject of this research is the toponymy of non-written Chamalal language of the Republic of Dagestan. The goal consists in the analysis of structural patterns of isolated Chanalal toponyms of the rural localities of Upper and Lower Gavkari, Gigatli, Gadiri of Tsumadinsky District of Dagestan. The article involves field material of the author Z. M. Alieva acquired during the expeditions of 2018-2020). The novelty lies in the fact that this article is first to carry out a structural analysis of toponymic units of Chamalal language. Toponymic material is subjected to quantitative characterization the author analyzes its different in structure geographical names, and determines separate word-forming elements. The study of toponyms remains one of the paramount tasks of the national (including Dagestani) and foreign linguistics, which defines relevance of the selected topic. This branch of linguistics is important in multiple areas of science: solution of linguistic tasks, questions of interaction of ethnic groups and their cultures, problems of ethnogenesis and ethnic history of the peoples.

An Analysis of Manhan huangyu shanhe diming kao 滿漢皇輿山河地名考 — A Bilingual Manchu and Chinese Study of Mountain and River Toponyms of the Imperial Territories

Manhan huangyu shanhe diming kao 滿漢皇輿⼭山河地名考 A Study of Mountain and River Toponyms of the Imperial Territories is a Manchu and Chinese bilingual manuscript on geography in the collection of the National Library of China. It is a collection of toponyms covering the northeastern territory of the Qing and includes a brief description of the military achievements before the Manchu conquest of the central plains. In this paper I argue that this text is closely related to the Shengjing Jilin Heilongjiang deng chu biaozhu zhanji yutu 盛京吉林黑龍江等處標注戰跡輿圖 Map of Military Deeds in Shengjing, Jilin, Heilongjiang, and that its dating on the title page to the Qianlong gengchen nian 乾隆庚辰年 white dragon year of Qianlong (1760) is not actually the date of this manuscripts composition. The phrase of huangyu (the imperial territories) refers in the context of this work to the territory of the Qing before 1644.

TYPES OF ETHNONYMS ACCORDING TO LEVEL MOTIVATION OF NOMINATION

The study and scientific generalization of the lexical properties of ethnonyms and ethno-toponyms using linguistic and non-linguistic factors is an urgent problem of modern Uzbek onomastics. Because ethnonyms and ethno-names in the Uzbek language, on the one hand, are considered modern (synchronous) material, on the other hand, they are the most ancient, i.e. original names. Therefore, it is impossible to carry out their research using only one method. Based on this, it is advisable to use descriptive, historical-comparative, and historical-etymological methods in toponymic studies. We believe that the phenomenon of the origin of ethnonyms based on the names of the emblems first appeared among cattle-breeding ethnic groups. The names of marks serving as a sign of distinguishing livestock from each other, due to the expansion of meaning, turned into an ethnic term. Some marks of stigma also came from totems.

The study of toponyms from the linguocultural point of view is summarized in the study of linguistics,especially Russian linguistics.

Trends in Onomastic Research in Brazil

This article brings together recent onomastic investigations developed in Brazil between 2011 and 2018. In the field of toponomastics there is some degree of uniformity resulting from both the use of the same research paradigm and the development of projects dedicated to the production of toponymic atlases in several regions of the country. In the field of an-throponomastics, however, there is dispersion and fragmentation of anthroponymic studies due to non-affiliation with the field by some sociolinguistics and literature researchers The comparison between research papers in this review and a number of onomastic studies in Europe reveals that the socio-onomastic field is an emerging one in both Brazil and Europe. There are investigations that relate the studies of linguistic settings to toponymic studies and socio-anthroponomastic investigations based on data collection in written documents or data generation through field investigations. The existence of comparative anthroponomastic re-search and studies dealing with theory, methodology and literature review in the field of an-throponomastics can be observed. Studies about Brazilian indigenous onomastics and sec-ondary non-official personal names used by Brazilian city councilors has been found just in Brazil in the literature review presented in this paper.

К истории урбанонимии провинциального города: названия варнишных мест старинной Нерехты

This research is devoted to the study of historical toponyms of the town of Nerekhta, Kostroma Region. The onyms chosen for analysis are from the town’s medieval period associated with the territory’s oldest trade – salt production and saltworks – now lost. Those include names of saltworks Redensky pochinok and Sovkova Movka, that survive in historical documents and are also found in the scientific book of Mikhail Diyev «The History of the Town of Nerekhta». To date, these names have disappeared from the town’s toponomicon due to lack of topicality. Detailed lingual and etymological analysis of the lexical units, which are part of historical toponyms, allows to identify some common features characteristic of Slavic onyms, to establish the territory of their distribution, to trace the transformations they underwent, to identify certain processes of language and ethnic origin of the territory under study; the latter, in turn, helps cast a light upon the history of settlement of Slavs of the previously Finno-Ugric, presumably Merya, lands.

Geographic Names of Flintshire, Wales. Review of the book: Owen H. W., & Gruffydd, K. L. Place-names in Flintshire. Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 2017. 272 p.

The new book on the toponymy of Flintshire is notable in several respects, including the scope of the study that goes well beyond the geographical borders of this county. This review addresses the virtues and the shortcomings of the publication. Two academic monographs, several books for a wider audience, and a number of articles had already been devoted to Flintshire’s geographical names. A new study is considered against this background and includes an analysis of the book, its features, and the evaluation of the authors’ contribution to the study of the toponymy of North East Wales. The book covers 801 geographical names of 753 places in Flintshire (Welsh Sir y Fflint) before the administrative reform of 1994. Given that 62% of the toponyms under study (including those that disappeared from modern maps) are Welsh, the review focuses on the analysis of this set of data, with attention to chronological layers and the etymologies of some geographical names, as well as their translation into English. The author points out that the English layer of Flintshire’s toponymy deserves a more detailed coverage. The layout of the data in this work makes it possible to express some considerations regarding the general trends observed in the toponymic studies of Wales.

Issues of Restoration of Historical Toponyms of the Akmola Region

TOPONYMIC LEXIS AND METHODS OF ITS LINGUISTIC STUDY

Methods of the toponyms research - etymological, historical and formant - are analyzed diachronically and synchronically with the main emphasis on English tradition both linguistic and lexicographic. Ttraditional linguistics has several basic methods which are used in the study of toponyms: etymological, historical, formant, typological. Two of them, which can be considered as complementary, are etymological and historical, allow us to trace the genesis of toponyms, to identify the connection between toponyms and other layers of vocabulary. Historical method, in addition, provides an opportunity to gather information about the cultural and historical background behind the toponymic vocabulary. Format method is directed at the study of toponyms as elements of the lexical system, characterized by a certain structure, which constituent parts are differentiated by a number of specific features. Typological method serves as a means of studying for the toponyms complexity as a structured system. Etymological and historical methods for the study of place names remain relevant, which are explained not only by their importance for linguistic studies, but also by their relevance to other fields of science, such as history, ethnography, geography and cultural studies. The conducted research showed that the methods used in linguistics for toponymic vocabulary, especially in their complexity, give sufficiently complete information about the etymology of this lexicon category, including the structure and semantics. Thus, the study showed that the methods used in linguistics for studying toponymic vocabulary, especially in their totality, provided fairly complete information both about the etymology of this vocabulary category, and about structure and semantics.
