Abstract:

What are place names? From where do they originate? How are they
structured? What do they signify? How important are they in our life?
This groundbreaking book explores these compelling questions and more
by providing a thorough introduction to the assumptions, theories,
terminology, and methods in toponymy and toponomastics – the studies
of place names, or toponyms. It is the first comprehensive resource on
the topic in a single volume, and explores the history and development
of toponyms, focusing on the conceptual and methodological issues
pertinent to the study of place names around the world. It presents a
wide range of examples and case studies illustrating the structure,
function, and importance of toponyms from ancient times to the present
day. Wide ranging yet accessible, it is an indispensable source of
knowledge for students and scholars in linguistics, toponymy and
toponomastics, onomastics, etymology, and historical linguistics.
