Zur Benennungsmotivik von Frühstücksnamen – Deichgraf, Piccolo, Super Start und Co.
Full text linkThis paper focuses on the reasons for the various designations for breakfasts which are to be found on current menu cards in Passau’s cafes, and which are not always transparent. Breakfast names can be considered to be trademarks. They fulfill informative, advertising, and contact functions. Against the background of our changing food culture, the context of names also raises questions concerning the definition of ‘breakfast’: What constitutes a contemporary breakfast? Is it the time we have it? Is it the food, which we consume? Literature concerning menu cards, cooking recipes, baking recipes, aliments and stimulants are thematically close to that topic and thus to be considered as well

Inoffizielle Ortsnamen
Full text linkIn onomastic and linguistic research literature, there are only a few works dealing explicitly with modern unofficial place names. The terminological delimitation of this name class alone presents some difficulties. For what an unofficial place name is is first of all explained by what it is not, namely officially fixed. Unofficial toponyms are essentially distinguished by the fact that they do not have an officially standardized status. They have mostly been developed in oral communication and are used by various groups of speakers at different times, above all to mark social affiliations. But it is precisely in their lack of official fixation that they allow an illuminating look at mechanisms of name genesis, name establishment and the social role of place names
Die Hölle in den deutschen Weinlagenamen
Full text linkGerman vineyard names often consist of terms like Berg, Buck/Buckel, Hang, Höhe, Kopf and Kupp to describe hills, slopes or mountains. This essay is concerned with names like Höllenpfad or Geiershöll. The element Höll(e) has nothing to do with Hölle in the sense of ‘underworld’. It derives from the Old High German haldi ‘slope, hill’. In accordance with phonetic laws, haldi develops from heldi > helde > helle into Höll(e). The names of vineyards with Hölle emerge particularly in West Middle German. Terms with Halde trace back to Old High German halda. Such forms occur primarily in the area of Upper German
Zum Ortsnamen Merseburg
Full text linkThe place name Merseburg has been debated vigorously in academic research. On the basis of a larger number of comparable names, the authors suggest a derivation of the name which differs from previous explanations. Besides the root - burg one has to assume a basic approach *Mars~ in the determiner which can be interpreted as an -s-extension of -mar “swamp, bog, pond”, to be found in numerous names
Die Motivation von Quellen- und Brunnennamen im Sprachraum des Spanischen
Full text linkThe aim of this study is to classify the names with which traditional local speakers designate places where springs and wells, sites of enormous economic importance especially in arid regions, can be found. The linguistic analysis of the material, extracted from an extensive corpus of toponymic material collected in a large part of the Spanish speaking area, unveils numerous data of interest for the lexicology and the dialectology of Spanish. Besides, its classification according to different motivational types reveals aspects of the referents considered especially relevant by the speaker. In this way, the names studied reflect the way in which the traditional rural population has been related to the geographic environment in which its daily life developed, and sheds light on the phenomenon of the creation of names
