This diploma thesis deals with characteristic of the concept urbanonyms and subsequent research urbanonyms in the town Ostrov in terms of their changes in six historical periods of the 20th century. To the group of urbanonyms are included the names of streets, parks, gardens, bridges, churches, chapels, monasteries, famous buildings and monuments of the historical center and the new part of town. The urbanonyms are analyzed and categorized by semantic motivation. Attention is focused on the factors that influence motivation and their subsequent transformations over the years. The development of street nomenclature is monitored with regard to honorific motivation and representation of the types of motives. The aim of the diploma thesis is to explore urbanonyms of the Ostrov and contribute to the local toponymy,which has not yet been analyzed.

Based on archival sources, cartographic tracks changes names Tabor streets in five historical periods during the 20th century. In each period, the newly - granted titles arranged in passwords, which explain their semantic motivation. Emphasis is placed on exploring the development honorifikačního motive in naming streets, thus awarding the title by important personalities, events, places and values that do not usually have a designated place of a direct link. The final section analyzes the formal formation of the current and defunct street names and submit their structural classification. The thesis aims to analyze the terminology street in the center of Tabor and their development, and contribute to the local place names, which have so far not been addressed.

Territoires français à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, les archipels des Mascareignes, Seychelles et Chagos ont connu un destin politique différent. L’ensemble de ce vaste espace insulaire, La Réunion exceptée, est devenu anglophone. On fait pourtant un constat essentiel, paradoxal en apparence : ces îles ont aujourd’hui encore une toponymie majoritairement francophone. Cette constatation est à l’origine de cette recherche, appuyée sur la constitution d’une base de données thématique et géo-référencée d’environ 6600 toponymes. À l’aide de cet outil, ce corpus toponymique est analysé suivant plusieurs critères, tels que les langues, les valeurs sémantiques, les natures et importances des éléments désignés et de la répartition spatiale. La question de l’appropriation et l’évolution des toponymes est également abordée et analysée. Ce travail constitue une base, évolutive et ouverte, pour des travaux complémentaires ultérieurs. / French territories in the late eighteenth century, the archipelagos of Mascarene, Seychelles and Chagos experienced a different political destiny. All of these islands except Reunion became English-speaking. Yet today, we make an essential observation, paradoxical in appearance: these islands still have a mostly French-speaking toponymy. This ascertainment is at the origin of this research supported by a thematic and georeferenced database of about 6600 place names. Thanks to this tool, an analyse has been carried according to several criteria such as the languages, the semantic values, the natures and importance of designated elements and the spatial distribution. The question about appropriation and evolution of place names is also examined and analysed. This work constitutes a base, open and evolutive, for further works.

This thesis deals with the phenomenon of proper names in a specific area of written Czech literature about the Spanish pilgrimage route called Saint James´ Way (Svatojakubská cesta in Czech). The theoretical part first describes definition, different types of classification and correct orthography of proper names in Czech and Spanish. Then it deals with the Galician language as the cooficial language of the Galician autonomous Spanish region where the pilgrimage route ends. The Galician toponymy and basic rules of national Spanish press related to the use of cooficial languages such as Catalan, Galician and Basque in comparison to Spanish are also covered. The last chapter focuses on general problems associated with the translation of proper names into other foreign languages. The main task of the practical part of this thesis is to analyse two specific books written in different genres. Some problems connected to this process are explained in the beginning, and afterwards they are evaluated and contrasted with the results of various classifications that had been made within the proper names in both publications. One chapter is dedicated to Galician proper names and finally comes the discussion of the correctness of orthography employed by the authors. The conclusion sums up the result of the whole analysis.

Esta dissertação propõe uma investigação acerca dos nomes das escolas públicas e privadas, de Ensino Fundamental e Médio, da cidade de Bento Gonçalves (RS), sob a perspectiva dos estudos de Toponímia, que é a área da Onomástica responsável pela análise dos nomes de lugares. O objetivo geral é investigar a origem linguística e a importância histórica e cultural das denominações das escolas, verificando também de que forma os fatores linguísticos, históricos, culturais, identitários, regionais e ideológicos de uma sociedade podem influenciar na escolha desses nomes. A partir do levantamento do corpus de quarenta e sete nomes de escolas públicas e privadas, de Ensino Fundamental e Médio, da cidade de Bento Gonçalves, buscam-se as motivações toponímicas de cada denominação em fontes documentais e históricas. Essas informações são catalogadas por meio de fichas lexicográfico-toponímicas (modelo de Dick, 1990). Dessa forma, através da observação e do exame das características dos topônimos, realiza-se uma análise essencialmente qualitativa, propondo-se uma categorização dos nomes de acordo com a taxionomia elaborada por Dick (1990) e o processamento das denominações por motivação toponímica, data de instituição, gênero, profissão e alterações ao longo do tempo. O estudo revela que há tendências denominativas de acordo com cada época e essas tendências são influenciadas pelos aspectos linguísticos, culturais, identitários e ideológicos vivenciados pela comunidade no momento do estabelecimento das denominações, que preservam e transmitem esses valores. Revela, ainda, que os nomes podem ter resultado de imposição legal ou solicitação da comunidade, mas a permanência ou alteração de um topônimo é determinada pelos sentidos que a comunidade constrói sobre ele. Portanto, a pesquisa apresenta contribuições aos estudos de Toponímia na Região de Colonização Italiana do Nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2014-12-03T15:01:52Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Elis Viviana Dal Pizzol.pdf: 6447226 bytes, checksum: 576ab9e162feaf542a5b07205f307af0 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-03T15:01:52Z (GMT).

Toponymy is the area of Onomastics responsible for the analysis of place names. The general goal is investigating the linguistic origin and the historical and cultural importance of naming a school, also verifying how linguistic, historic, cultural, identity, regional and ideological factors of a given society may influence the choice of the names. From the corpus of forty-seven public and private elementary and high schools of the city of Bento Gonçalves, the toponymic motivation of each name is researched in documental and historical sources. The information is recorded on cards, according to a lexicographic-toponymic model proposed by Dick (1990). By observing and examining the characteristics of every toponym, a qualitative analysis is realized, and the names are classified according to the taxonomy proposed by Dick (1990), along with the processing of names as per motivation, creation date, gender and profession of the person honored with the name of the school, and changes that occurred along time. The study reveals that there are naming tendencies according to every period of time, and that such tendencies are influenced by linguistic, cultural, identity and ideological aspects experienced by the community in the moment that the names are chosen. Therefore the names preserve and transmit such features. The study also reveals that these names may either result from legal imposition or were demanded by the community, but the persistence or change of a toponym is determined by the meanings that the community builds upon it. So, this investigation presents a contribution to toponymic studies of the Italian Immigration Region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

O presente trabalho visa a estudar a motivação e a classificação dos nomes dos bairros da cidade de Bento Gonçalves, localizada na Região de Colonização Italiana do Nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul. O corpus da pesquisa foi levantado a partir de uma coleta de dados realizada em fontes oficiais do município, e consiste em quarenta e seis denominações, referentes a todos os bairros da cidade. Essas denominações foram decretadas por quatro leis diferentes, criadas para acompanhar o crescimento da cidade. Devido ao fato de as leis não portarem nenhum indício sobre a motivação de tais nomes ou sobre suas interpretações, foi realizada uma revisão de trabalhos anteriores, bem como de bibliografia voltada à história da cidade, para uma melhor compreensão desses nomes. Os topônimos foram, a seguir, classificados de acordo com a taxonomia proposta por Dick (1990b). Os resultados permitem verificar que a maior parte das denominações dos bairros da cidade faz referência a nomes de santos (hagiotopônimos). Há, também, nomes formados por siglas (acronimotopônimos), nomes referentes a nomes próprios individuais (antropotopônimos), a elementos vegetais (fitotopônimos), entre outros. Nota-se, ainda, a presença de nomenclaturas opacas e transparentes, bem como nomes populares. Por fim, destaca-se que tal estudo acerca desse município, juntamente com os demais já realizados sobre outros, poderá vir a contribuir para a construção de um futuro Atlas Toponímico do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-02-09T15:45:44Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Bruno Misturini.pdf: 5250679 bytes, checksum: e61cbf52772e1e500a538e30dbcdec58 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2015-02-09T15:45:44Z (GMT).

The corpus was obtained from a data collection carried through official sources from the county, and consists of forty-six names, pertaining to all districts of the city. These denominations were enacted by four different laws that were created to accompany the growth of the city. Due to the fact that the laws can not give any clue about the motivations of these names or about their interpretations, a papers review was made, as well as a bibliographic research towards the history of the city, for a better understanding of these names. The names of the places were, then, classified according to the taxonomy proposed by Dick (1990b). The results allow us to verify that most of the names of the city neighborhoods refer to catholic saints. There are also names referring to acronyms, personal names, vegetation, among others. Opaque and transparent denominations were found, and popular names as well. Finally, it is emphasized that such study of this city, along with others already made about other cities, perhaps will be able to contribute to build a future Toponymic Atlas of the State of Rio Grande do Sul.

O presente trabalho analisa a motivação e a classificação dos nomes do bairro, do distrito e dos logradouros da cidade de Cotiporã, localizada na Região de Colonização Italiana do Nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, visando a compreender o contexto histórico, político e social da região. O corpus da pesquisa é composto por quarenta e cinco denominações e foi levantado em fontes oficiais mediante coleta de dados na cidade-mãe, Veranópolis, e, posteriormente, em Cotiporã. O registro de quarenta e três denominações encontra-se em doze leis que acompanharam o desenvolvimento da cidade, ao passo que dois nomes não possuem lei, mas se configuram como espaços concretos no dia a dia dos cotiporanenses. Os topôninos e hodotopônimos foram classificados de acordo com a taxionomia proposta por Dick (1990b). A pesquisa revelou que a maior parte dos hodônimos refere-se a nomes próprios individuais de imigrantes ou descendentes de italianos (antropo-hodônimos), o que contribui para a percepção de uma identidade italiana local. Há, também, referências a vultos da pátria e a datas históricas (historio-hodônimos), a títulos indicativos de profissão, patente militar e função política (axio-hodônimos), a funções religiosas (hagio-hodônimos), a acidentes hidrográficos (hidro-hodônimos), a elementos vegetais (litotopônimos) e a posições geográficas (cardinotopônimos). Após a análise dos dados, percebe-se como os habitantes de Cotiporã constroem sua identidade regional e a reafirmam mediante a diferenciação com outros grupos, reforçando a identidade italiana na predominância de designações itálicas. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2016-11-23T16:17:41Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Fernanda Elisa Vicentin Bertoletti.pdf: 3290001 bytes, checksum: 4d25e7c673c0380bfc0d73e8c223a00b (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2016-11-23T16:17:41Z (GMT).

Its intent is to comprehend the historical, political and social context of that region. The corpus of this research is composed of forty-five designations collected from official sources in the city of Veranópolis, and later in Cotiporã. The records of forty-three designations are found in twelve laws that followed the development of the city. Two designations are not connected to any laws but are considered common areas on the day-to-day of its citizens. The toponyms and hodotoponyms are classified according to the taxionomy proposed by Dick (1990b). The research revealed that the majority of the hodonyms refers to the first names of Italian immigrants or their descendants (antropohodonyms), which contributes to the perception of the local Italian identity. Historical figures and dates are also referenced (historiohodonyms), as well as professional titles, military and political ranking (axiohodonyms), religious roles (hagiohodonyms), hydrographic incidents (hydrohodonyms), vegetation (litotoponyms) and geographic location (cardinotoponyms). The results show how the habitants of Cotiporã build their regional identity and differentiate themselves from other groups, reinforcing their identity through the predominance of Italian designations.

This essay examines large-scale cultural developments in Peru’s north central highlands during the 1st millennium AD, with an emphasis on their implications for ancient language use and spread. Áncash is of special interest because of its long history of research, central geographic position in northern Perú, diversity in archaeological cultures, and the presence of a series of languages, many now extinct. During the 1st millennium, cultural interaction between north highland groups and their neighbors was very prominent during the beginning and the end of the Early Intermediate Period. The end of the Middle Horizon also saw intensive interaction and cultural transformations. The paper ends with a trial, interdisciplinary study to examine the archaeological traces of the Culle language. It compares the distributions of material artifacts, architecture and toponyms of archaeological sites, and finds there is a reasonable, if imperfect, fit between the data. / En el presente trabajo se analizan los desarrollos culturales de gran escala en la sierra norcentral del Peru durante el primer milenio d.C., con énfasis en sus implicancias para el uso y dispersión de las lenguas antiguas. La región de Áncash es de un interés especial debido a su larga historia de investigaciones, su ubicación geográfica, la diversidad en las culturas arqueológicas y la presencia de una serie de lenguas, muchas de ellas hoy extintas. En esa etapa, específicamente entre el inicio y el final del Periodo Intermedio Temprano, la interacción cultural entre los grupos de la sierra norte y sus vecinos fue muy importante. El término del Horizonte Medio también fue testigo de una interacción intensiva y transformaciones culturales. Esta contribución concluye con un ensayo interdisciplinario con el objeto de examinar los rasgos arqueológicos de la lengua culle. Se comparan las distribuciones de artefactos materiales, arquitectura y topónimos de sitios arqueológicos y se ha logrado determinar que hay una correspondencia razonable, si bien imperfecta, entre los datos.

Si bien el carácter interdisciplinario de la toponimia da lugar a una práctica en la cual diversas disciplinas participan, no se debe dejar de lado el rol esencial de la lingüística, el papel medular que esta tiene o debería tener en los estudios toponímicos propiamente científicos. Esta nota resalta ese papel fundamental de la lingüística dentro del carácter interdisciplinario de la toponimia, específicamente en el área andina, a la vez que ofrece un estado de la cuestión, así como constantes ejemplos de los tipos de problemas o dificultades a los que se enfrenta el análisis toponímico y su respectiva resolución respaldada por la disciplina. De esta manera, para evitar la práctica reduccionista y simplificadora en el estudio de los nombres de lugar, se propone una metodología interdisciplinaria, pero, sobre todo, consciente de la necesidad de un enfoque lingüístico en los estudios toponímicos del área andina. / While the interdisciplinary nature of the toponymy leads to a practice in which different disciplines are involved, one should not ignore the essential role of linguistics, the central role of it or what it should have in the proper toponymic scientific studies. This paper highlights the key role of linguistics within the interdisciplinary character of the toponymy, particularly in the Andean region, while offering a state of affairs, as well as constant examples of the kinds of problems or difficulties it faces toponymic analysis and their respective discipline backed resolution. Thus, to avoid reductionist and simplistic practice in the study of toponymy, an interdisciplinary methodology is proposed, but above all, aware of the need for a linguistic focus on the Andean region scientific studies.

nÃo hà / A ToponÃmia, um dos ramos da OnomÃstica, à a ciÃncia linguÃstica que tem por objetivo estudar os nomes prÃprios de acidentes geogrÃficos fÃsicos e humanos, a partir da anÃlise da relaÃÃo lÃngua-cultura-sociedade. Baseada nestes pressupostos, esta pesquisa objetivou inventariar, descrever e analisar os topÃnimos relativos aos acidentes humanos (estado, microrregiÃes, municÃpios) e fÃsicos (rios) da AmazÃnia Ocidental Brasileira, ou seja, do estado do Acre, a fim de verificar em que medida esses topÃnimos retratam a realidade fÃsicogeogrÃfica e sociocultural no processo de nomeaÃÃo dos referidos espaÃos. Orientou essa pesquisa a seguinte hipÃtese: a toponÃmia acreana preserva particularidades linguÃsticas, sÃcio-histÃrico-culturais, e fÃsico-geogrÃficas da regiÃo que influenciaram o denominador no ato de nomeaÃÃo. Os dados foram coletados, principalmente, no Mapa PolÃtico- Administrativo do Estado do Acre (2006), escala 1: 1000 000, fornecido pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e EstatÃstica (IBGE-AC). Dada a natureza da pesquisa, adotaram-se as orientaÃÃes teÃrico-metodolÃgicas de Dick (1992) e os princÃpios teÃricos da lexicologia e da semÃntica, dando-se destaque Ãs questÃes relativas ao processo de construÃÃo do significado dos itens lÃxicos associados Ãs categorias toponÃmicas. Adotou-se, para a distribuiÃÃo dos signos toponÃmicos coletados, a terminologia de Salazar-Quijada (1985) macrotopÃnimos, para as nomeaÃÃes do estado e das microrregiÃes; microtopÃnimos, para os municÃpios; e topÃnimos, para as nomeaÃÃes dos rios. Os resultados apontaram, em relaÃÃo aos macrotopÃnimos, para uma completa influÃncia de condutas motivadoras de ordem fÃsica, haja vista que todos os topÃnimos registrados enquadram-se na taxe dos hidrotopÃnimos (100,0%). Isso mostra que as correntes hÃdricas regionais refletiram completamente na nomenclatura geogrÃfica do estado e das microrregiÃes. Contudo, no que tange aos microtopÃnimos, os MunicÃpios, prevaleceu a motivaÃÃo de natureza antropo-cultural, jà que foram registradas como taxes mais produtivas, os historiotopÃnimos (38,1%) e os etnotopÃnimos (13,7%). Por sua vez, os topÃnimos dos acidentes humanos, de maneira geral, mostraram a superioridade dos fatores motivacionais de natureza antropo-cultural (67,9%) em relaÃÃo aos de natureza fÃsica (32,1%). Jà em relaÃÃo à toponÃmia dos acidentes fÃsicos, os fatores motivacionais de natureza antropo-cultural (50,0%) foram preponderantes em relaÃÃo aos de natureza fÃsica (36,7%). As taxes mais produtivas foram os zootopÃnimos (16,7%), dimensiotopÃnimos (10,0%) e antrotopÃnimos (10,0%). Em sÃntese, a anÃlise toponÃmica dos acidentes geogrÃficos acreanos evidenciou que, na construÃÃo do significado dos signos toponÃmicos, concorrem elementos linguÃsticos e extralinguÃsticos. Os topÃnimos acreanos sÃo, de modo geral, motivados por condicionantes sÃcio-histÃrico-culturais e fÃsicogeogrÃficos. Os resultados, in totum, confirmam a hipÃtese que norteou nossa pesquisa. / Toponymy, a branch of onomastics, is the linguistic science which aims at studying the names of physical and human geographic features, from the analysis of the language-culture-society. This research intended to inventory, describe and analyze the toponyms human accidents (state micro-regions, municipalities) and physical (rivers) of the Western Brazilian Amazon, i.e. the state of Acre, in order to verify to what extent these toponyms portray reality physicalgeographical and socio-cultural in the appointment of such spaces. This research is guided by the following hypothesis: Acreâs toponymy preserves linguistic, socio-historical, cultural and physical-geographical particularities characteristics of the region, that influenced the denominator the act of naming. Data were collected mainly throug Political and Administrative Map of Acre (2006), scale 1: 1000 000, provided by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE-AC). We adopted Dickâs theoretical and methodological approach, and the theoretical principles of lexicology and semantics, considering prominent issues concerning the construction of the meaning of lexical items associated with toponymic categories. We adopted, for the distribution of toponymic signs collected, Salazar-Quijadaâs terminology: macrotoponyms, for the appointments of State and Micro-regions; microtoponyms for the municipalities, and place names, for appointments rivers. The results showed, compared to macrotoponyms a complete duct motivating influence of physical nature, because all the place names recorded fall compared to tax hydrotoponyms (100.0%). This shows that the current regional water reflected completely the geographical nomenclature of the state and micro-regions. Comparatively to microtoponyms, municipalities, however, the prevailing motivation nature-cultural anthropology, since taxes were recorded as the most productive namely, historiotoponyms (38.1%) and etnotoponyms (13.7%). The toponyms human accidents, in a general way, showed the superiority of the motivational factors related to nature and cultural anthropology (67.9%) if compared to factors of physical nature (32.1%). Concerning to physical accidents of place names motivational factors of nature and cultural anthropology (50.0%) were predominant taking as parameter those of physical nature (36.7%). The most productive taxes were zootoponyms (16.7%) dimensiotoponyms (10.0%) and antrotoponyms (10.0%). To summarize, the analysis of Acre landforms toponymic showed that in the construction of the meaning of signs toponymic, linguistic and extralinguistic elements cooccur. Acreâs toponyms are generally motivated by socio-historical, cultural and physical geography constraints. The results, in totum, confirm the hypothesis which founds our research.
