discussed. This study analyses the semantic content of toponyms,
dealing with their meaning as proper names, and classifies them
into nine main categories according to their origin. The study is
based on a corpus of 1973 names of administrative units at the

China. Contents: The structure of contemporary Chinese names of the
administrative units, their meaning and semantic classification -
