Abstract:

The volume seeks to establish socio-onomastics as a field of linguistic
inquiry not only within sociolinguistics, but also, and in particular, within
pragmatics. The linguistic study of names has a very long history, but also a
history sometimes fraught with skepticism, and thus often neglected by
linguists in other fields. The volume takes on the challenge of instituting
onomastic study into linguistics and pragmatics by focusing on recent trends
within socio-onomastics, interactional onomastics, contact onomastics, folk
onomastics, and linguistic landscape studies. The volume is an introduction to
these fields – with the introductory chapter giving an overview of, and an
update on, recent onomastic study – and in addition offers detailed in-depth
analyses of place names, person names, street names and commercial names from
different perspectives: historically, as well as from the point of view of the
impact of globalization and glocalization. All the chapters focus on the use
and function of names and naming, on changes in name usage, and on the reasons
for, processes in, and results of names in contact.
