description

The paper focuses on the relations between field names and the collective memory of a local communication community. People using various linguistic means to name specific objects in space impose an interpretation on them as well. This interpretation allows them to identify and individualize the places in social interactions, and it is kept in the collective memory of a particular community for either a longer or a shorter period of time. The linguistic analysis of the motivation for naming provides access to interpretations stored in fields names. In this case study the analysis has been carried out on the basis of the field names in Gryfów Śląski / Greiffenberg in Schlesien.
