Meeting Description:

The International Council of Onomastic Sciences has the honor to invite you to
take part in the 27th International Congress of Onomastic Sciences. The
Congress will be held in Kraków (Poland) from August 23 to August 28, 2020.

The topic of the Congress is the interdisciplinarity of onomastic research.
Interactions of onomastics with other branches of knowledge allow manifold
approaches to names – classic or innovative, with respect both to the theory
of onomastics and to the field’s practical aspects. In the philosophic
discourse the issue of the relation between a proper name and a common name
has been pondered since the antiquity. The sociological and sociolinguistic
perspective allows research on the prestige of specific names as well as on
the socio-cultural motivations of giving proper names. In historical research
proper names, especially toponyms, may facilitate  reconstruction of
settlement development. In religion studies the etymological meaning of
theonyms makes it possible to discover connections between religious notions
of various (often geographically distant) nations. From the legal and
political point of view giving names and the development of personal names
(including surnames) are of great importance as the stabilization of these
names is subject to legal regulations in every country. Research on proper
names may be useful to medicine as well. Discovering neurobiological
mechanisms of finding proper names in a mental lexicon may turn out to be an
important part of therapeutic procedures in patients with language disorders
caused by neurological problems. The proposed topic of the Congress is meant
to foster the discussion on how onomasticians perceive other branches of
knowledge as well as on how representatives of those branches approach proper
names. It is only the cooperation of these branches of science (i.e. of
onomastics on the one hand and philosophy, sociology, psychology, psychiatry,
communication studies, political studies, geography, history, archaeology, and
natural sciences on the other hand) that makes it possible to fully describe
and explain the complex history of onyms and their functioning in all aspects
of modern life.

We divide the congress scientific programme into three main parts: plenary
lectures, paper sessions, and special symposia devoted to presentation of
onomastic research in the West Slavic countries: the Czech Republic, Poland,
and Slovakia. Onomastic research has a very long tradition in these countries
and has become a model for the development of onomastics in other countries.
During the mentioned symposia we present the achievements of the Slavic
onomastics to a larger auditorium.


Call for Papers:

published on the Congress website then. Speakers may present their papers in
paper sessions. The preferred language of papers is English. Nevertheless,
papers in other congress languages (German, French, Russian) are welcome as
well.
