All known languages of the world have special lexical units called
names or proper names, whose purpose is to designate the
individuality of single persons, groups of people, families,
places, hills, mountains, rivers, and animals, as well as things
and institutions, etc. The study of names, also called onomastics
or onomatology, is not simply a subdiscipline of linguistics;
several other disciplines besides traditional philology cooperate
in the study. The universe of names as objects of research lacks
any clear-cut limits. The interest in names can be linguistic or
philosophical, historical or contemporary, theoretical or
practical, legal or political, ethnographic or religious; and in
each of these and other cases, interest can concentrate on a single
language, a group of languages, or a family of them. The present
volume is the work of more than 250 authors from 42 countries. This
fact alone shows how widespread the studies are. The three
languages used in the volume (English, French, German) give only a
partial impression of the supranational and transcultural character
of the names and their studies. Among the main areas on which the
volume concentrates are the following: Specifities of names as
linguistic signs, and their systematic analysis; Idiosyncrasies of
name studies in various countries in the past and present; The
multiplicity of names and their properties in as many languages as
was practical; Demonstration of the basic functional identity, yet
endless formal variety, of names as identifiers of individual
entities; The phenomena of change and assimilation that occur in
contact between two or more languages; The importance of names in
disciplines other than linguistics, such as history, law,
philosophy, theology, geography, archeology, and many others; Names
and their use in connection and interaction with other areas of
human activities in society; Numerous case studies showing the
variety of approaches and methods that must be applied if
microanalyses of sets of data are to be used for important
conclusions; Registers of names belonging to more than 50 languages
of the world, which should make accessible this whole plethora of
material and ideas, through their articulation (topical,
onomatological, etc.) and the arrangement of material; 23 chapters
which are systematically ordered according to specific
characteristics of names and their study.

Inhalt: Friedhelm Debus: Geschichtsquellen als Namenzeugnisse Ernst
Eichler: Historische Sprachraume zwischen Ostsee und Adria
imMittelalter im Lichte der Onomastik Grasilda Blaziene: Stand und
Aufgaben der altpreussischen Onomastik "So vermittelt der schmale
Band in seinen drei Beitragen, ausgehend von den onomastischen
Arbeits- und Interessengebieten des Jubilars, reiche Erkenntnisse
und Anregungen fur die zukunftige Forschung." Beitrage zur
Namenforschung. (Franz Steiner 2001)
Aus dem Vorwort: Das hier vorgestellte Gebiet ist ein Kulturraum
gewesen, in dem das Christentum das Heidentum in slawischer Zeit
abloste und in dem seit dem 7. Jahrhundert n.Chr. slawische
Sprachraume ausgebildet wurden, die in den hier vorgestellten und
erstmalig publizierten Karten areallinguistisch dokumentiert sind.
Das Doppelheft 3/4 zeigt die Beabeitung des umfangreichen
Strukturtyps Slawischer Kurzname + -(ov)ici . "Dank der
beispielhaften Erschlieaung des Materials ist das Werk auch fuer
die Erforschung der Slavia in Bayern ein nuetzliches Hilfsmittel,
fuer welches man dem Herausgeber, aber besonders der Bearbeiterin
gratulieren kann." Blatter fuer oberdeutsche Namenforschung "Den
Heften 2, 3/4 und 5 des altsorbischen Ortsnamenatlasses darf sowohl
in Bezug auf Inhalt als auch auf Form und auaere Gestaltung eine
hohe Qualitat bescheinigt werden. Die gruendliche Aufbereitung des
umfangreichen Materials und dessen gelungene Darstellung auf Karten
beruecksichtigt alle Aspekte der modernen Ortsnamentypologie sowie
-geographie und schafft so nicht zuletzt auch solide
Voraussetzungen fuer siedlungshistorische Forschungen. Herausgeber
und Bearbeiterinnen liefern nicht nur einen wichtigen Baustein zu
einem kuenftigen gesamtslawischen toponymischen Atlas, sondern auch
eine wertvollen methodologischen Beitrag zur Arealtoponomastik.o
