The conference provides an international forum for current issues of and recent advances in diachronic and synchronic toponymic research. The aim is to bring together researchers and graduate students working within the domains of linguistics, onomastics, geography and related disciplines. The conference language is English.
Papers should address issues of particular importance in place names research. For instance, we would be interested in papers exploring such topics as:
- epistemology of toponomastics
- language and name contact in multilingual societies and at language boundaries
- name theory with an emphasis on toponyms
- typologies of toponymic systems
- collection and documentation of place names
- social attitudes towards place names and naming
- practices in past and present
- toponyms in discourse and conversation
- new approaches to place name research
- visualisation of toponymic data via Geographic Information Systems.
Of course this is just a sample of topics; we hope to include a wide variety of papers on diachronic and synchronic research on place names.
