Onomastics in Contemporary Public Space
Onomastics in Contemporary Public Space aims at analysing names and name-giving from an intercultural perspective, within the context of contemporary public space. As was the case of Name and Naming: Synchronic and Diachronic Perspectives (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2012), the geographical areas investigated in the studies included in this volume are very diverse, referring not only to European cultural space, but also to American, Asian, African and Australian contexts. Being a collective work, the book brings together 49 specialists from 18 countries; namely Australia, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, S...
Names and Naming
This edited book examines names and naming policies, trends and practices in a variety of multicultural contexts across America, Europe, Africa and Asia. In the first part of the book, the authors take theoretical and practical approaches to the study of names and naming in these settings, exploring legal, societal, political and other factors. In the second part of the book, the authors explore ways in which names mirror and contribute to the construction of identity in areas defined by multiculturalism. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to onomastics, and it will be of interest to scholars working across a number of fields, including linguistics, sociology, anthropology, politics, geography, history, religion and cultural studies.

Onomastics in Interaction With Other Branches of Science. Volume 1. Keynote Lectures. Toponomastics
Onomastics is an area of scholarly interest that has grown considerably in importance in recent years. Consequently, the 27th International Congress of Onomastic Sciences, held in 2021 in Kraków, Poland, gathered scholars from all over the world, active in all subfields of onomastic enquiry, as well as those exploring the areas bordering on other disciplines of the humanities. It thus became a venue for presenting state-of-the-art research in the study of proper names, proposing novel approaches and opening new vistas for future research. The present work is the first of the three volumes of conference proceedings that were the fruit of the congress. Devoted to place naming, it contains 33 ...
Bibliographie Linguistique de L'annee 1999
Setting out the historical national and religious characteristics of the Italians as they impact on the integration within the European Union, this study makes note of the two characteristics that have an adverse effect on Italian national identity: cleavages between north and south and the dominant role of family. It discusses how for Italians family loyalty is stronger than any other allegiance, including feelings towards their country, their nation, or the EU. Due to such subnational allegiances and values, this book notes that Italian civic society is weaker and engagement at the grass roots is less robust than one finds in other democracies, leaving politics in Italy largely in the hands of political parties. The work concludes by noting that EU membership, however, provides no magic bullet for Italy: it cannot change internal cleavages, the Italian worldview, and family values or the country’s mafia-dominated power matrix, and as a result, the underlying absence of fidelity to a shared polity—Italian or European—leave the country as ungovernable as ever.

Familiennamengeographie
Dieser Band vereint über 20 Beiträge aktueller Forschungen zur Familiennamengeographie in Europa und bietet damit erstmals einen Überblick über die internationale Forschung. Das Spektrum der Themen reicht bezüglich der Länder, Sprachen bzw. Kulturräume von Skandinavien über Deutschland, die Schweiz, Österreich, Polen, Tschechien, England und die Niederlande, Italien, Spanien, Portugal bis hin zu Dialektgebieten (z.B. Alemannisch, Westmittel- und Westniederdeutsch). Zwei Beiträge befassen sich speziell mit der Verbreitung der beiden Rufnamen Nikolaus und Matthäus/Matthias als Familiennamen einschließlich ihrer zahlreichen areal gebundenen Varianten. Auch theoretische Zugänge sind enthalten, so etwa die Entstehung und Ausbreitung onymischer Morphologie (am Beispiel deutscher Familiennamen auf -ert wie z.B. Taubert) oder der Nachweis, dass Familiennamen Quelle von Grammatikalisierungen sein können, hier bezogen auf den s-Plural. Ein weiterer Beitrag geht dem Einsatz der Dialektometrie bei der Familiennamenforschung nach. Zahlreiche Verbreitungskarten dokumentieren bei den meisten Beitragen die arealen Verhältnisse.
Sächsisch-magdeburgisches Recht in Polen
Mit den Untersuchungen zur Verbreitung des Sachsenspiegels, des Magdeburger Stadtrechts und verwandter Rechtsquellen in Polen wird Band 2 der Reihe "IVS SAXONICO-MAIDEBVRGENSE IN ORIENTE" vorgelegt. Das von der Sächsischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig betriebene Forschungsvorhaben geht nicht nur den Einflüssen von und auf Rechtsnormen, sondern auch den Wirkungen der Rechtssprache im Untersuchungsgebiet nach. Eine wichtige einleitende Rolle spielt die gründliche Darstellung der Forschungsgeschichte, welche gerade im 20. Jahrhundert mehreren ideologisch-politischen Brüchen unterlag und für die Belange der Gegenwart kritisch hinterfragt werden muss. So wurde eine handbuchartige P...
The Polish Elite and Language Sciences
This book revisits the modern history of Poland, from the perspective of its social sciences. The book makes this case study a model for the application of Bourdieu’s approach to the historical analysis of non-core Western societies. The book is, in other words, a reflexive study of the application of Bourdieu’s social theory. At the same time, it also critically studies the application of Western social theory in Poland, which is largely seen as a peripheral country. The study of Polish social sciences, with particular emphasis on linguistics and literary studies, points to the peculiar dynamics of peripheral intellectual and academic fields and their external dependencies. These insigh...
