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 and proper names respectively. 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.
