PHILOLOGIA – Sprachwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse
„Dass Eigennamen eine Art Faszination bedeuten, kann jeder, der eine Fremdsprache studiert, bestätigen. […] Ähnlich wird das menschliche Gehirn zum Nachdenken angeregt, wenn man auf einer Landstraße im Auto unterwegs die Ortstafeln wahrnimmt. Die Anziehungskraft von Ortsnamen kann intensiver werden, wenn man durch einen Landstreifen zieht, […]

Die slavischen Siedlungen im östlichen Holstein
Eine zweisprachige Sprachlandschaft?
Eutin, Preetz, Plön und Lübeck sowie viele weitere Ortsnamen (Toponyme) im Gebiet des östlichen Holsteins sind slavischer Herkunft. Sie bilden das einzige linguistische Zeugnis für die Anwesenheit einer slavischsprachigen Bevölkerung vom Früh- bis zum Hochmittelalter. Als allgemein historische Belege spiegeln Ortsnamen sich ständig wandelnde […]

Place-Name Changes
Proceedings of the Symposion in Rome, 17–18 November 2014
Name & Place – Contributions to Toponymic Literature and Research
Languages are promoted by political powers and are dependent on them. In a historical dimension languages come and go depending on political support. Place names as elements of language are part of this historical fluctuation. Due to their symbolic role as markers of geographical features, territories and space-related identities, however, they […]

Criteria for the Use of Exonyms
Proceedings of the 17th UNGEGN Working Group on Exonyms Meeting, Zagreb, 14–16 May 2015
Name & Place – Contributions to Toponymic Literature and Research
Authors and editors of maps, atlases and all kinds of text publications, including articles in newspapers, as well as journalists of the electronic media, frequently face the problem of which name to use for a geographical feature outside their own country or linguistic community. If a choice of names is available, should they choose a name […]

The term exonym was first used by the British toponymist Marcel AUROUSSEAU (1957) and – interestingly enough – the term endonym was coined only later (1975), by the Austrian Slavist Otto KRONSTEINER, even though endonym is the basic and primary concept, and endonyms prevail by far in number. [...]

The Quest for Definitions
Proceedings of the 14th UNGEGN Working Group on Exonyms Meeting, Corfu, 23–25 May 2013
Name & Place – Contributions to Toponymic Literature and Research
Why is it that the topic of exonyms, and more precisely the endonym / exonym divide, attracts so much interest and is so much disputed? It is perhaps because this divide arises when a geographical name is considered within the relationship between a name-using community and the feature bearing this name – is the feature marked by the name […]

Proceedings of the Toponymic Sessions at the 25th International Cartographic Conference, Paris, 3–8 July 2011
Name & Place – Contributions to Toponymic Literature and Research
