Abstract:

Throughout history ‘explorers’ from advanced countries have named place they have ‘discovered’ in lands occupied by native people from time immemorial, with the result that many local place-names have been disregarded and their history forgotten. Antarctica, however, is the one great land region on Earth that was truly ‘discovered’ when the South Shetland Islands were sighted in 1819, so that the place-names that gradually evolved in later exploration enshrine all the history of human endeavour on the continent.

Abstract:

Scientific interest in informal anthroponyms as an integral component of the anthroponymic system has a long linguistic tradition. Whereas surnames and first names are thoroughly analyzed in onomastic research, nicknames (individual, family), family names, pseudonyms have not been studied enough. Unofficial anthroponyms also reflect the characteristic features of the speech of a certain territory. This enables researchers to trace the interaction of official and folk naming systems. Theoretical analysis of works on anthroponymy made it possible to outline a number of linguistic problems and different approaches to their solution. The article analyzes the state of research on Slavic unofficial anthroponymy, since the research analysis of unofficial anthroponyms contributes to the development of methods of presenting one's own facts, establishing the main topical aspects of studies on nicknames, family names. The works of M. Khudash, P. Chuchka, and R. Ostash are extremely valuable for Ukrainian anthroponymy; they have become the theoretical basis for many studies on anthroponymy. The study revealed that representatives of different schools and areas approach classification of nicknames in different ways. Among all analyzed approaches proposed by scientists, P. Chuchka's classification is the most fully developed. Family names also play an important role in the folk naming system.

Abstract:

It has been argued that no Spanish toponymic inventory is used in the Falkland Islands (Woodman 2016). Nonetheless, maps attest to the presence of several Spanish names. The existence of these place names reflects the history of the area. Even though the Falklands currently host an English-speaking community, the Islands have a long history of Spanish-speaking settlers. The former Spanish administration as well as contact with 19th century Spanish-speaking gauchos left quite a few Hispanic toponyms. Mostly coined after 1833, these toponyms collectively reflect the need for orientation, delimitation, and land management for livestock. However, there is another group of Spanish place names that is not used in the Islands. These toponyms are partly a result of the ongoing Argentinian claim of sovereignty over the Falklands. The objective of this paper is twofold: to account for the existence of Spanish place names used locally to refer to the Islands, and to present a novel classification system for the Spanish-language toponymic inventories of the Falklands into Gaucho-heritage and Argentinian. For these purposes, both traditional and modern approaches of toponomastic analyses were employed.

Abstract:

The Relationship between the cells and their names is part of the history of medicine. Purpose: Systematization of objects in histology and cytology named with the names of their discoverers or other persons, and introduction of the society with short historical reference. Tasks: 1. Making a table with the cells named after their researchers. 2. A Brief reference to the explorers. 3. Analysis of the reasons for the use of their name, including occupation and nationality. 3. Presentation of the results in the medical faculty and the Medical college. Material and methods: Book review of the available educational literature, as well as of contemporary publications online. Results: In the table we listed 54 cells with names of persons. Ten of them are associated with pathological conditions. They are named after personalities of different professions and nationalities, but mainly of anatomy and physiology researchers and physicians. The prevailing researchers are from Western Europe and Russia. Cells with different morphology are named after the same person. Conclusions: The names of some persons deserve to be written in the history of medicine. This does not override the need for a uniform anatomical nomenclature and a coherent classification of cells.

Abstract:

Naming is a specific linguistic act, intimately linked with values, traditions, hopes, fears and events in people’s lives. Names reveal the many preferences of their owners (or givers) in terms of real life objects, actions, features and beliefs. Place names provide the most useful geographical reference system in the world. The topic of names is a multidisciplinary field that has occupied the attention of philosophers of language, anthropologists, linguists and ordinary people. In this study, I try to analyze the names of meeting rooms in the East Java Governmental Building. The reason to choose this object is because the East Java Governmental Building is the center of government/ administration in East Java. This study aims to find out the kinds of names applied in the naming of meeting rooms in the East Java Governmental Building and the presuppose reasons behind the name chosen of the East Java Governmental Building. This study is a qualitative study. Based on the classification of the data, they were classified to two groups: the names of governors in East Java and the names of the kings or military chief of great kingdoms in East Java. The meeting rooms in the governmental building of East Java are named after important people in the history of the province. To conclude, the administration named all the meeting rooms, as the most important rooms in the building to welcome guests, using the name of people who have big influence and involvement in the history of East Java so that it has roots to its history.

Abstract:

Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) in India was realized along the lines of Maoist ideology through the Naxalite insurgency in the 1960s. Novelists have attempted to grasp the mood of this decade of liberation through fiction. This article attempts to study two novels which document the formative years of the Naxalite movement in West Bengal. Translated works from Bengali, Mahasweta Devi’s Mother of 1084 (1974) and Bani Basu’s The Enemy Within (1991) foreground the necropolitical policies of the demonic state in eliminating these Naxal names. State and non-state actors obliterate the question of the Naxal’s identity (enmeshed with his mind and body), making it the focal point of the analysis. Drawing abundantly on concepts of homo sacer, necropolitics, McCarthyism, and democide, the analysis demonstrates that the protagonists are typical of what modern biopolitical states do to non-conformist subjects by creating death worlds. This article is an attempt at understanding the nuances of a sociopolitical movement through literature as social responsibility.

Abstract:

The paper presents a thorough study of the Abaza personal names. Traditionally, Abazas, a small autochthonous people living in the Karačaj-Čerkes Republic of the Russian Federation, used a two-name system, consisting, as a rule, of the surname plus the postposed first name. The Abaza personal names are analysed with regard to their origin, structure, semantics, and social status. The onomastic system in general, as well as the tradition of naming among the Abazas are outlined as well.

Abstract:

An analysis of naming patterns among ethnic-Chinese Singaporeans.The study of names (or, to give it its Sunday name, onomastics) has not always been accorded high academic prestige and is often thought of as a non-specialist's hobby horse. The fact that most books on naming in bookshops seem to address only prospective parents who need to name their child also does not give the study a high standing. In the university context, this is not something that receives a lot of attention, except within semantics and philosophy where the status of names (as opposed to other words) has been discussed; and within the history of English where place names are studied in relation to their etymology. In this journal, though, attention has been given to commercial names (Banu & Sussex (2001), McArthur (2000)) because of interesting instances of hybridisation involving English and other languages.

Full text

Abstract:

The history of the creation of the names and symbols of elements resulting in the current form approved by IUPAC is long and interesting. A small number of elements have been known since ancient times and civilizations, from where they brought their names. Other elements were gradually being discovered from the 17th to the beginning of the 21st century. New elements have been variously named and subsequently provided with international names. In Bohemia, the need to find Czech names for new elements appeared in the 19th century. An important creator of these names was Jan Svatopluk Presl. Some of its names are still used in Czech. Other Czech names were suggested by Karel Slavoj Amerling. Another notable creator of Czech chemical terminology, Vojtěch Šafařík, replaced some peculiar Czech names of elements with international ones, and only 19 of them have been keeping their original Czech names till present. After Šafařík's reform, Czech chemical terminology has been stabilized and remained essentially unchanged.

Full text

Abstract:

This article examines the station names of 142 Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) stations across Singapore’s five fully operational MRT lines using primary sources (digitised newspapers, maps, and press releases) and secondary sources (scholarly research on Singapore place names and information from government agencies). There are two research objectives: firstly, to determine the common naming strategies of Singapore’s MRT station names, and secondly, to analyse features of Singapore’s socio-political and linguistic identity by studying these names. Common naming patterns of Singapore’s station names include associative names, where the station is named after nearby physical or man-made features; descriptive names, where the name describes a particular aspect of the area; and eponymous names, where the station is named after a famous person or entity. We argue that station names reflect the state’s language and socio-political policies and shed deeper light on some of the complex and contradictory forces at play in the nation’s linguistic and socio-political identity. Singapore’s language shift towards English is evident as English is frequently used to name stations, particularly among newer MRT lines, where the public can suggest and vote on station names. At the same time, there are toponyms in local languages like Malay that serve as indexes of localness of the area around the station, showing the cultural dimension that station names have as metaphors for the area’s history and heritage. Yet, Singapore’s pragmatic socio-political identity ultimately means that the practical, referential function of names takes precedence over the cultural functions of naming.

Abstract:

The article discusses the history of the origin of Thai last name that appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. Until that time, the Thais did not have a unified system of names. Different social groups used various forms of naming a person. The unification of the naming system, including the introduction of last names in 1913, took place under the influence of Western culture, but taking into account existing traditions. However, last names have not become a significant element of personal identification for Thai society. Names and nicknames perform this function, as it used to be in traditional Thai society.

Abstract:

Иркутск по праву считается одним из востоковедных центров России. Город, рас-положенный на восточных границах российского государства, располагал необходимыми условиями для становления и дальнейшего изучения языка сопредельных стран Китая и Монголии. В Иркутске открывались первые школы во-сточных языков, в том числе Русско-монгольская (1725), сыгравшая важную роль в подготовке христианских миссионеров для Российской духовной миссии в Пекине. Пройдя хорошую школу жизни и получив возможность глубокого изучения китайского и маньчжурского языков, миссионеры становились первыми преподавателями этих языков, создавали учебные пособия и научные труды. Среди них особое место занимают И. Рассохин, И. Бичурин, Е. Сычевский, Д. Сивилов (архимандрит Даниил). В статье представлены материалы об изучении китайского и маньчжурского языков в России, а также о вкладе востоковедов в развитие российско-китайских отношений.

Abstract:

Abstract Contemporary scientific terminology is populated by thousands of eponyms, technical terms derived from the names of discoverers and inventors. Since the ultimate goals of scientific language are precision and objectivity, the ever increasing use of eponyms is puzzling. Eponyms betray the inherent contradiction between the supposed neutrality and anonymity of scientific discourse and individual vindication. The systematic use of eponyms has resulted in one of the most effective reward systems in Western science. Moreover, it is interesting to note that eponyms do not represent a recent form of recognition; their genealogy can be traced back to classical antiquity, in particular to the Hellenistic era and as a feature of the scientific lexicon they have undergone surprisingly little change over more than two millennia. In my essay I explore the genealogy of scientific eponyms and their cultural background and I shall focus my attention on classical and early modern science. During classical antiquity the use of eponyms served an important dual purpose, on the one hand paying tribute to those individuals who, by dint of their discoveries and written works, gained eminence in a specific field of enquiry, and on the other hand helping to map the historical geography of a discipline and thus establish its boundaries as well as its future prospects. During the Renaissance, with the rediscovery of the classics and the reaffirmation of the cultural value of science and technology, the coining of eponyms gained unprecedented momentum and proliferated in most disciplines.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article analyses the occurrence of apparently Roman names at Lepcis Magna and seeks to identify the processes of cultural assimilation taking place between the Libyphoenician population and Rome. Three main categories of change in naming practice (proposed by Herzog in the 1890s) may be recognised and suggest a number of possible explanations, other than Italian settlers, for the appearance of particular names at Lepcis. First, Roman names may have been adopted from the ruling emperor, or a senatorial patron or other suitably eminent Italian family, most commonly on the acquisition of Roman citizenship. This practice will often totally have eradicated the individual's original Libyphoenician nomenclature. The Lepcitani notably favoured aristocratic cognomina. Second, Punic or Libyan names at Lepcis may have been replaced by similar sounding Latin ones, e.g. the adaptation of Himilis to Aemilius and Amilcar to Amicus. Third, the Latin name may sometimes be a literal translation of the Punic or Libyan one. While noting a number of interesting examples of the latter two cases, the analysis here concentrates on the first category. It is concluded that there is little clearcut evidence for Italian settler families at Lepcis. Most of the names can be explained in terms of the assimilation of the indigenous population into the Roman pattern of personal nomenclature and illustrates the interesting choices available to them. The evidence at a number of points adds further weight to the strong probability that the paternal ancestry of the Emperor Septimius Severus was African.

Abstract:

In this paper, we focus on studying the appellative names of some towns in Nanuŋ and how these appellative names came into existence so as to uncover the important historical information, such as settlement history, folklore and social conditions about these places. Town names (toponyms) have attracted a lot of scholarly attention. However, appellative names, Nanuŋ appellative town names for that matter is yet to catch the eyes of scholars. No study has been sighted in relation to this study and thus triggers the study. Nanuŋ appellative town names are not haphazardly labeled, but sociocultural driven with sociocultural functions and meanings. Therefore, analysis is done with Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory. We established that numerous appellative town names of Nanuŋ reveal the culture of Nanuni speakers over many thousands of years. Many of these place names are complex and their meanings can only be explained by tracing the formative history and not the phonological, orthographic or morphological underpinnings. The researchers also established that, the processes of appellatively naming new places varies: contracted proverbial name, role of the place in the kingdom, expected behaviour of the skin occupant, socioeconomic activities, surrounding feature or place descriptive name, names after an earth-spirit/god and contextual obscure and opaque are the variations in the naming process. It is also evident that, the appellative town names of Nanuŋ are metaphorically constructed. However, these names have connections with the identity of the community members, since they taboo certain animals believed to be the gods of which these places are named after. The researchers employed purposive random sampling in the selection of the towns. However, snowballing technique was also employed to select the participants for primary data through interviews which were recorded with audio recorder and notepad.

Abstract:

The article deals with industrial toponymy of the Perm region – the historical and modern names of deposits and mines of natural resources (coal, iron, copper, oil). This group of toponyms of the anthropogenic landscape is described thematically, studied in terms of its origin, and characterized as a carrier of historical and cultural information about the region’s economic development. In the description provided, the names are grouped according to the object of nomination – the older names of the deposits of coal, copper and iron and the relatively recent names of the gas and oil fields. Within these groups, we study historical and recent names, which are grouped according to the geography of distribution, trace their origin, associated with the development of the mining industry of the region. We have established that the dominant role in the formation of the names of the deposits belongs to metonymy, with the help of which the correspondence between the objects of space is indicated by means of association by contiguity. The paper describes the groups of toponyms that perform identificatory, localizing, and memorial functions (with the last one being aimed at commemorating significant events, discoverers and outstanding people). The function most important for industrial toponymy is the nominative functions itself. In a number of cases, the studied names are considered to be a reflection of mental ideas about the division of geological space by a person. It is concluded that that the names of the deposits reflect the main stages of the region’s economic development and are of certain interest for the study of the historical, cultural and linguistic specifics of the region. In order to obtain cultural information on these names, it is important to take into account their close relationship with hydronyms, oikonyms, as well as with anthroponymic names (names, surnames, nicknames).

Abstract:

The aims of Andrew Fleming's paper on medieval Swaledale have been to establish the degree of stability of the pattern of settlement there and to demonstrate the value of a comprehensive approach to the study of political geography and settlement history. Restrictions of space, however, have led to the omission of a treatment of agricultural activities and readers might not realise how little both the pattern of settlement and agricultural practices have changed in the course of time.

Abstract:

The article examines Slavic / pagan month names that existed in Old Russia in the 11th–14th centuries. The author systematizes the sources that contain references to these names. These sources are divided into three groups according to the number of references to the studied names in them. The first group is menologies, which, as a rule, form a single complex with the liturgical Aprakos-Gospels. Most references to the Slavic month names can be found there. The second group is comprised of the Old Russian narrative sources. The sources of this group are represented by one chronicle. This is the Tale of Bygone Years. There is one mentioning of the Slavic month name in this chronicle — “Gruden” (November). The third group unites various sources, whose common feature is the origin and existence in everyday life of common people. This group of sources includes birch bark letters, penances, graffiti, etc. There are no references to Slavic month names and practically no examples of using months to count time in these sources. Based on the examined data, the author comes to the conclusion that the Slavic / pagan month names came to Russia along with the Old Bulgarian (Church Slavonic) manuscripts and had no direct connection with local East Slavic customs.
