SECTION 1. TERMINOLOGY
President: Julia Kuhn / Advisers: Isolde Hausner, Mats Wahlberg
Terminological rigour is often taken as a measure of how far a science
has progressed. A strict application of terms is a necessary tool in all scientific communication.
Papers presenting overall terminological questions, the situation
within various branches of onomastics (place -names, personal names and other types of names) or in a certain country are welcome. The work in this section should focus on problems concerning ambiguous and inconsistent
use of onomastic terms, the need for new terms or deletion of old
terms, etc., rather than on contributions with a mere describing purpose.
Concrete terminological problems in connection with classification and structural analysis of different types of names are also important to discuss.
Terminological discrepancies between different languages and countries
sometimes make the international communication between onomasticians difficult. ICOS wants to take up the challenge to work on the elaboration of a list of basic onomastic terms for international use. The ICOS
Terminology Group is therefore currently engaged in creating such a
list in the three official languages of ICOS, English, French and German.
Papers focusing on problems related to mutual understanding of onomastic terms on an international level are especially welcome as a means of
promoting the work within this group and opening a broad discussion
for all interested ICOS members.
Subtopics:
1. Overall terminological questions
