The Classification of Exonyms

Proceedings of the 21st UNGEGN Working Group on Exonyms Meeting, Riga [Rīga], 24–26 September 2018

Name & Place – Contributions to Toponymic Literature and Research

Exonyms involve the adaptation of geographical names from a donor language into a receiver language, and they reflect the fascinating movement and interaction of peoples around the world. The Working Group on Exonyms of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) was established by resolution VIII/4 of the 8th UN Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names. This resolution recognised that “...measures such as the categorization of exonym…

Die slavischen Siedlungen im östlichen Holstein

Eine zweisprachige Sprachlandschaft?

Studien zur Slavistik

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 historisch-soziale Umwelten wider.

Das Gebiet des heutigen östlichen Holsteins erreichten die slavischsprachigen…

A Survey of Exonym Use

Proceedings of the 19th UNGEGN Working Group on Exonyms Meeting, Prague [Praha], 6-8 April 2017

Name & Place – Contributions to Toponymic Literature and Research

The Working Group (WG) on Exonyms of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names was established in 2002. The papers in this volume of Name & Place, marking the 19 th Meeting of the WG in Prague in 2017, represent a cross-section of the knowledge acquired after 15 years of collective activities, in which the WG has developed – and hopefully enhanced – its understanding and appreciation of the subject of exonyms with the sub-themes usage, standardization,…

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 are even more exposed to political change.

At any time the replacement of the dominant political or cultural force…

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 used by the community residing in or near the feature (endonym), or a name used by the author’s or editor’s community…

Confirmation of the Definitions

Proceedings of the 16th UNGEGN Working Group on Exonyms Meeting, Hermagor, 5–7 June 2014

Name & Place – Contributions to Toponymic Literature and Research

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 United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN), whose main task is the international standardization of geographical…

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 »ours’ or theirs’«

This is a highly political, sociological and cultural-geographical issue which also has juridical…

Toponyms in Cartography

Proceedings of the Toponymic Sessions at the 25th International Cartographic Conference, Paris, 3–8 July 2011

Name & Place – Contributions to Toponymic Literature and Research

The ICA 25th International Cartographic Conference in Paris in July 2011 is special from a toponymical point of view because it marks the first meeting of the joint ICA-IGU Commission on Toponymy. Toponymy has been a regular theme for international cartographic conferences for decades, and it is only proper that this has been institutionalized now. The subject of toponymy is now not only dealt within an onomastical context at the biannual ICOS meetings, and within an…
