Dual Naming of Sea Areas in Modern Atlases and Implications for the East Sea/Sea of Japan Case
Dual naming of sea areas in modern atlases and implications for the East Sea/Sea of Japan case Rainer DORMELS* Dual naming is, to varying extents, present in nearly all atlases. The empirical research in this paper deals with the dual naming of sea areas in about 20 atlases from different nations in the years from 2006 to 2017. Objective, quality, and size of the atlases and the country where the atlases originated from play a key role. All these characteristics of the atlases will be taken into account in the paper. In the cases of dual naming of sea areas, we can, in general, differentiate between: cases where both names are exonyms, cases where both names are endonyms, and cases where one name is an endonym, while the other is an exonym. The goal of this paper is to suggest a typology of dual names of sea areas in different atlases. As it turns out, dual names of sea areas in atlases have different functions, and in many atlases, dual naming is not a singular exception. Dual naming may help the users of atlases to orientate themselves better. Additionally, dual naming allows for providing valuable information to the users. Regarding the naming of the sea between Korea and Japan present study has achieved the following results: the East Sea/Sea of Japan is the sea area, which by far showed the most use of dual naming in the atlases examined, in all cases of dual naming two exonyms were used, even in atlases, which allow dual naming just in very few cases, the East Sea/Sea of Japan is presented with dual naming. -

Waiting for Yesterday How Syrian Refugees Analyse Their Own Situation and Make Decisions About Their Future
WAITING FOR YESTERDAY HOW SYRIAN REFUGEES ANALYSE THEIR OWN SITUATION AND MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR FUTURE Ronald Stade and Lana Khattab ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project was made possible by a grant from Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, The Swedish Foundation for Humanities and Social Sciences. Data collection for the project was greatly facilitated by the Lebanese civil society organizations Abaad, Himaya, and Nabad, as well as by the kind and capable Pascale Jalbout. Our exchanges with Karim Rishani must be mentioned as a rich source of information and inspiration. We need to acknowledge that our research would have been impossible without the hard, dedicated and excellent work of our experienced focus group moderators, Lina Ashkar and Zeina Shoueib. Confronted with so many stories of adversities and suffering, they demonstrated an extraordinary capacity for being both compassionate and professional. Finally, we would like to thank the participants in our focus group discussions. They gave of their time and lives without expecting anything in return. Their generosity humbles us, and we owe them a great debt of gratitude.

In this period, the Working Group held three business meetings and four workshops and published four books of proceedings. The WG met on August 6, 2012 during the 10th Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names in the UN Headquarters in New York and discussed the endonym/ exonym divide and new definitions of the endonym and the exonym as well as the question whether a third term for international waters is needed. At the same occasion, Peter JORDAN was confirmed as WG convenor by elections. The WG met again for its 14th meeting in Corfu, Greece, 23-25 May 2013. It had the character of a workshop and was organized in conjunction with a meeting of the UNGEGN Working Group on Toponymic Terminology (Convenor: Staffan NYSTRÖM). The meeting of the WGE was attended by 33 experts from 20 countries and saw 17 paper presentations on the endonym/exonym divide as well as on use and documentation of exonyms in various countries. This sequence of paper presentations was followed by an intensive discussion on new definitions of the endonym and the exonym. Proceedings of the 14th Meeting have been published as Vol. -
Familiarity with Slovenian Exonyms in the Professional Community Drago Kladnik, Primož Pipan
ONOMÀSTICA BIBLIOTECA TÈCNICA DE POLÍTICA LINGÜÍSTICA Familiarity with Slovenian Exonyms in the Professional Community Drago Kladnik, Primož Pipan DOI: 10.2436/15.8040.01.189 Abstract As part of UNGEGN, experts on geographical names are continually striving to limit the use of exonyms, especially in international communication. However, this conflicts with the linguistic heritage of individual peoples as an important element of their cultural heritage. In order to obtain suitable points of departure to prepare the planned standardization of Slovenian exonyms, in the fall of 2010 we used an internet survey to conduct a study on their degree of familiarity among the Slovenian professional community, especially among geographers (teachers, researchers, and others) and linguists. The survey was kept brief for understandable reasons and contained four sets of questions. The first set applied to familiarity with the Slovenian exonyms for seventy European cities, the second to familiarity with the Slovenian exonyms for ten European islands and archipelagos, the third to familiarity with archaic Slovenian exonyms for ten European cities, and the fourth to the most frequently used forms for ten non-European cities with allonyms. We asked the participants to answer the questions off the top of their heads without relying on any kind of literature or browsing the web. We received 167 completed questionnaires and carefully analyzed them. Many of the participants had difficulty recognizing endonyms. A basic finding of the analysis was that the degree of familiarity with individual exonyms varies greatly. ***** 1. Introduction As part of the project “Slovenian Exonyms: Methodology, Standardization, and GIS” at the ZRC SAZU Anton Melik Geographical Institute, we determined the level of familiarity with names for foreign topographic items and features in Slovenian among the professional community. -

Dictionary of Slovenian Exonyms Explanatory Notes
GEOGRAFSKI INŠTITUT ANTONA MELIKA ZNANSTVENORAZISKOVALNI CENTER SLOVENSKE AKADEMIJE ZNANOSTI IN UMETNOSTI ANTON MELIK GEOGRAPHICAL INSTITUTE OF ZRC SAZU DICTIONARY OF SLOVENIAN EXONYMS EXPLANATORY NOTES Drago Kladnik Drago Perko AMGI ZRC SAZU Ljubljana 2013 1 Preface The geocoded collection of Slovenia exonyms Zbirka slovenskih eksonimov and the dictionary of Slovenina exonyms Slovar slovenskih eksonimov have been set up as part of the research project Slovenski eksonimi: metodologija, standardizacija, GIS (Slovenian Exonyms: Methodology, Standardization, GIS). They include more than 5,000 of the most frequently used exonyms that were collected from more than 50,000 documented various forms of these types of geographical names. The dictionary contains thirty-four categories and has been designed as a contribution to further standardization of Slovenian exonyms, which can be added to on an ongoing basis and used to find information on Slovenian exonym usage. Currently, their use is not standardized, even though analysis of the collected material showed that the differences are gradually becoming smaller. The standardization of public, professional, and scholarly use will allow completely unambiguous identification of individual features and items named. By determining the etymology of the exonyms included, we have prepared the material for their final standardization, and by systematically documenting them we have ensured that this important aspect of the Slovenian language will not sink into oblivion. The results of this research will not only help preserve linguistic heritage as an important aspect of Slovenian cultural heritage, but also help preserve national identity. Slovenian exonyms also enrich the international treasury of such names and are undoubtedly important part of the world’s linguistic heritage. -
