Geschichte und Gegenwart Dänischer Familiennamen
No full textDanish family names seem to be easy to understand and interpret. The 50 most frequent Danish family names are carried by 70% of the Danish population, all of which end with the typical suffix –sen. Thus, other means than the family name are used to distinguish people carrying the same name, namely the first name and the middle name (e. g. Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the name of the Danish Prime Minister). The history of laws concerning Danish family names is long, starting as early as 1526. Since then, six different laws were passed in 1828, 1857, 1898, 1904, 1961, and most recently, in 2005. All of these aimed at a diversification of the Danish name landscape. Today, every name that is carried by more than 2000 people, can be chosen by those who wish to change their family name. In the first year after the new law has been in force, 40000 Danes changed their family names and the authorities are expecting equally high numbers of applications for name changes in the coming years

400 Jahre englische Taufnamenforschung: Der Anfang mit William Camdens Remaines of a Greater Worke (1605)
No full textWilliam CAMDEN launched the study of English Christian names 400 years ago. In the chapter \u27Christian Names.\u27 of his book Remaines of a Greater Worke(1605) he gives an account of the most important aspects of Christian names and presents two lists of those Christian names common at the time. CAMDEN not only exploits English scholarship but above all draws considerably upon Continental scholarship. It is his \u27comparative\u27 and source-based approach to Christian names that makes the aforementioned chapter a worthy pioneering work on English Christian names
Triptis - ein rätselhafter Ortsname als Sprachdenkmal in Ostthüringen
No full textThe name of a small town in Eastern Thuringia is discussed here. It is a very difficult name and it is surely not of German origin. Historical documents have shown the name to be almost without any varieties since the Middle Ages. Discussing several Old Sorbian etymological interpretations it gets evident that only one explanation can be accepted with regard to the structure of the name, with regard to similar names in Slavonic languages, and due to the results of Slavonic-German language-contacts
Interview mit Luigi Malerba über Namen
No full textThis is the eighth in a series of interviews with Italian writers on literary names. The purpose of this series is to complement the indirect approach of investigating strategies of literary naming in literary texts by directly questioning those who give names to literary characters or places. The interviews are to provide evidence of tendencies in literary naming in contemporary Italian writers. General conclusions will in due course be drawn from the material to be presented in the series. The present interview with Luigi Malerba was conducted in Rome on 30 April 2005
Zur Auswertung digital gespeicherter Straßennamen
No full textThis article draws attention to the corpus of digitally stored street names. While it has become common practice to use a suitable telephone CD-ROM for the cartographic presentation and linguistic interpretation of family names, street names, in this respect, have been overlooked so far. Applying his own software the author presents 14 maps of different character to set an example for various possibilities of including street names into onomastic research. First and foremost, this particular class of names is suited to get a rough overview of historical, historico-cultural, lexical, phonological, structural and social or sociological facts. In some special cases, maps showing the distribution of street names can provide information that is not available in a different way. At any rate, the selection of street names to be processed for cartographic presentation and the maps themselves require careful interpretation
Veranstaltungsnamen - Prinzipien und Verfahren der Nomination von Veranstaltungen im Deutschen und Russischen
No full textThe present scientific research examines the names of festal events (festivals, exhibitions, shows, contests, campaigns and etc) and their linguistic characteristics. Our purpose is to define the status of such names as proper names and to investigate the structural-semantic features of German and Russian names of festal events. In the course of this investigation we have come to the conclusion that the names are pinned down as a cause of the secondary artificial nomination. In general, the results of our analysis indicate that the identifying method of nomination proves to be the leading one. This fact can be explained by the specificity of the object of nomination, which is understood as an idea or concept underlying any festal event but not a definite object. To summarize the ideas, the choice of the nomination means (semantic, syntactical, word-forming and complex) is dependent not only upon the specific features of the object of nomination but upon the inbuilt potential of the language
Das Projekt eines regionalen historischen Wörterbuches russischer Varianten (Modifikate) von Taufnamen
No full textEs ist allgemein bekannt, dass Personennamen im Russischen eine immense Zahl von Verkleinerungsformen bzw. Diminutiva besitzen; solch eine Vielfalt von Ableitungsvarianten kennt keine andere Sprache. Die Fortschritte der Onomastik unterstreichen und beweisen dennoch die Notwendigkeit einer noch gründlicheren Forschung im Bereich der PN - nicht nur synchronisch, sondern vor allem auch diachronisch, weil sich die Geschichte der russischen Anthroponymie weit bis in längst vergangene Zeiten zurückverfolgen lässt und mit der Geschichte des russischen Volkes und seiner Sprache aufs Engste verbunden is
