Summary report. United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names 6th Meeting of the Working Group on Exonyms Prague [Praha], Czech Republic, 17th – 18th May 2007. This two-day meeting was jointly arranged with the EuroGeoNames Project and part of a meeting on geographical names in conjunction with a meeting of the UNGEGN East, Central and Southeast-East Europe Division. It was hosted by the Czech Land Survey Office and took place in the premises of this Office, Praha, Pod sídlištěm 9/1800. Participants and the papers presented are listed in the Annex to this Report. The meeting was opened and the delegates welcomed by Ms Helen Kerfoot, the UNGEGN Chair, Mr. Peter Jordan, the Working Group’s Co-convenor and Mr. Jörn Sievers as the representative of the EuroGeoNames Project. In her opening address Ms. Kerfoot emphasized that UNGEGN views on exonyms had somewhat changed in recent years. All the three opening addresses referred to Mr. Pavel Boháč, the meeting’s principal organiser, thanking him for his great efforts. Mr. Jordan then outlined the programme of this meeting and its main task of clarifying the use of exonyms in an empirical (in which situations are exonyms actually used?) and in a normative (in which situations should exonyms be used or not be used?) way.

Ivana Crljenko, Some older sources for Croatian exonym analysis Some older sources for Croatian exonym analysis DOI: http: //dx.doi.org/10.3986/AGS54105 UDC: 91:811.163.42'373.21 COBISS: 1.01 ABSTRACT: The article introduces the review of some older sources in the Croatian language that might be useful for the Croatian exonym analysis, and may also refer to the exonym status it the context of the Croatian language development and geographers' indifference concerning that issue. Because of frequent changes in orthography, geographical names (as well as exonyms) have experienced different modifications, which can be followed through eight analyzed editions published during the period from 1880 to 1974. It was indicated that geography as a profession has greatly failed in serious research of exonyms.

    A Life Histories of Etnos Theory NDERSON in Russia and Beyond , A , Edited by David G. Anderson, Dmitry V. Arzyutov RZYUTOV and Sergei S. Alymov The idea of etnos came into being over a hundred years ago as a way of understanding the collecti ve identi ti es of people with a common language and shared traditi ons. In AND the twenti eth century, the concept came to be associated with Soviet state-building, and it fell sharply out of favour.

  • Language and Place Names in National and Regional Atlases. Methodological Considerations and Practical Use Exemplified by New Atlases from the Eastern Part of Europe
    LANGUAGE AND PLACE NAMES IN NATIONAL AND REGIONAL ATLASES. METHODOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND PRACTICAL USE EXEMPLIFIED BY NEW ATLASES FROM THE EASTERN PART OF EUROPE Peter Jordan Austrian Institute of East and Southeast European Studies, Vienna Abstract National and regional atlases are mainly conceived for national use, but as map works with a representative function they address, in contrast to school atlases, also an international audience. Taking this into account, many of them use for titles, legends and explanatory texts not only the national language, but also one or more world languages or are published in different language editions. The use of a second or third editorial language has, however, implications on the treatment of place names, especially on the use of exonyms. Another aspect deriving from the atlases’ representative function is the reflection of minority names. The paper investigates into relevant practices applied in recently published national and regional atlases from the eastern part of Europe and offers some methodological considerations as regards the use of more than one editorial language, the use of exonyms in this case as well the use of minority names. 1 INTRODUCTION National and regional atlases are mainly conceived for national use.
