2020
Vidzeme, one of the cultural and historical regions of Latvia, became a part of the kingdom of Sweden during the 17th century. Subsequently, Swedish cartographers mapped the estates of Vidzeme and then compiled maps of larger territories then called castle districts. The present research inspects 11 of these late 17th century maps and analyzes the microtoponyms found there. For an illustration, the maps of Sāviena (Sawensee) and Aburti (Lüggen) estates are chosen. This paper consider as microtoponyms not only the names of meadows, forests, swamps and hills, but also some hydronyms denoting smaller rivers and lakes that had not yet been academically analyzed, in total names of 26 objects.

2014
Each less known addition to the collection of authentic Livonian language materials is very valuable, and a small contribution can also be made by Juris Plāķis’ publication about Latvian, i.e., Courland toponyms, among which Livonian ones can be found as well. This collection includes toponyms collected by J. Plāķis himself, toponyms from Augusts Bīlenšteins’ onomastic materials, as well as toponyms which have been sent in to the Folklore depository by pupils from different parishes. This article goes through oronyms (hill names).Kokkuvõte. Ojārs Bušs: Dundaga kihelkonna liivi päritoluga oronüümid (mäenimed) Juris Plāķise läti toponüümide väljaandes.

VZYVANNJA TOPONIMU HORNICA U TEKSTACH RUSYNIV BACKY I SREMU V XX ST.
2021
In this research we will talk about the term Hornїca in the language of the Rusyns who live in modern Serbia and Croatia. The origin of the toponym is due to historical and geographical factors. During the twentieth century, the community used this toponym in texts of various genres to describe the territory of its origin in the Carpathian region. This toponym is used with other geographical names - in particular Zakarpattja, or outdated or archaic forms of Carpathian Ukraine and Subcarpathian Rus`. The toponym belongs to the categories of macrotoponyms and exonyms. The article analyses how and when the term appeared in the editions of Rusyns of Bačka and Syrmia, what were the dynamics of i…

Flurnamen als Gedächtnisformationen. Ein Beitrag zur Erforschung des kollektiven Gedächtnisses aus linguistischer Perspektive
2018
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.
Mapping Digital Discourses of the Capital Region of Finland : Combining Onomastics, CADS, and GIS
2022
This article discusses the three Finnish city names Helsinki, Espoo, and Vantaa, and the urban discourses that surround them. The study reveals patterns of socio-spatial differentiation by examining what meanings people attach to these capital region cities and investigating how these meanings are expressed in online discourses. Using the methodological approach of corpus-assisted onomastics (CAO), this study incorporates onomastics, geographical information systems (GIS), and corpus linguistics. This interdisciplinary research also examines how corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS) and GIS can be combined to reveal and visualize the contextual information and discursive patterns of topo…
