Resumo: O objeto de estudo da Toponímia são os topônimos, analisados sob diferentes perspectivas, como a sua origem, sua significação, sua transformação, sua classificação taxionômica. Neste artigo será apresentada a proposta de três modelos de microestrutura para verbetes toponímicos a partir dos pressupostos teóricos da Toponímia e da Terminologia: um para verbetes cujas entradas designam conceitos relativos a elementos hidrográficos e a conceitos-chave do conjunto toponímico, outro para a constituição dos verbetes que têm como entradas os sintagmas toponímicos e um terceiro remissivo. O corpus que serviu como base para formulação dos modelos foi o repertório das unidades léxicas que designam o nome dos elementos geográficos referentes à água, arroio, baía, cabeceira, cabo, cachoeira, canal, catarata, corixão, corixo, córrego, foz, lago, lagoa, nascente, represa, riacho, ribeira, ribeirão, rio, riozinho, salto, sanga, vazante e volta. Esses hidrônimos foram obtidos no banco de dados do projeto Atlas Toponímico do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul – ATEMS. As microestruturas propostas poderão ser opção para subsidiar a elaboração de dicionários toponímicos que, além de registrarem os nomes próprios com sua respectiva localização e causas que motivam a nomeação, também contribuem para o resgate e o registro social, histórico e cultural de uma região. Palavras-chave: Toponímia; Terminografia; topônimos; microestrutura. Abtract: The object of study of Toponymy are toponyms, seen from different perspectives such as their origin, meaning, changes, and categorization. This paper will present the proposal of three microstructure models for toponymic entries based on the theoretical assumptions of Toponymy and Terminography: one for entries whose input word designate concepts related to hydrographic elements and key concepts of the toponymic set, another for the constitution of entries that have as input word the toponymic phrases and a third remissive. The corpus that served as basis for the formulation of the models was the repertoire of lexical units that designate the name of the geographic elements referring to water, brook, bay, headland, cable, waterfall, channel, cataract, corixão, corixo, stream, estuary, lake, lagoon, spring, dam, creek, stream, creek, river, sanga, ebb and curve. These hydronyms were obtained from the Atlas Toponímico do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul – ATEMS. The proposed microstructures may be an option to subsidize the development of toponymic dictionaries that, in addition to registering proper names with their respective location and causes that motivate their nomination, also contribute to the rescue and social, historical and cultural registration of a region. Keywords: Toponymy; Terminography; toponyms; microstructure.

Resumo: O tema do presente artigo insere-se na história da onomástica portuguesa, mais precisamente, na etimologia dos hidrotopónimos de Portugal continental. Com a finalidade de contribuir criticamente para a recuperação da etimologia como disciplina mais atuante no contexto dos domínios da História da Língua e da Linguística Histórica, retoma-se uma linha de investigação que remonta aos trabalhos desenvolvidos em Portugal por José Leite de Vasconcelos, Joaquim da Silveira, Pedro Cunha Serra, Domingos Moreira, Joseph-Maria Piel, José Pedro Machado, Armando de Almeida Fernandes, entre outros. Igualmente consideradas são as propostas de Hans Krahe, Edelmiro Bascuas, Federico Corriente e Eduardo Viaro. São objectivos do artigo definir os limites do inquérito linguístico na análise etimológica dos hidrotopónimos de Portugal continental; e enquadrar na discussão da estratigrafia linguística a caracterização nacional e regional do hidrotopónimos. Conclui-se que a hidrotoponímia de Portugal continental tem origem maioritária em itens do léxico comum latino-romance, embora guarde globalmente um importante património pré-latino. A sul do sistema montanhoso Montejunto-Estrela, torna-se significativa a interferência lexical, morfológica e fonológica do árabe, tal como acontece em grande parte da toponímia das regiões meridionais portuguesas. Palavras-chave: toponímia; etimologia; hidrotopónimo; estrato; história do português. Abstract: The topic of this thesis concerns the diachronic aspects of Portuguese onomastics, namely those regarding the etymology of a subset of Portuguese hydrotoponyms. Arguing that Etymology is still relevant as a field of research to Historical Linguistics and the History of the Portuguese Language, the discussion draws on studies carried out in Portugal by scholars such as Leite de Vasconcelos, Joaquim da Silveira, Pedro Cunha Serra, Domingos Moreira, Joseph-Maria Piel, José Pedro Machado, Armando de Almeida Fernandes, among others. The work of Hans Krahe, Edelmiro Bascuas, Federico Corriente ou Eduardo Viaro is also considered. The article pursues two goals: to draw the linguistic boundaries of the etymological inquiry on a selection of mainland Portugal’s hydrotoponyms; and to describe and discuss the national and regional distribution of each linguistic stratum in the Portuguese hydrotoponymic context. Its conclusions point out that most itens have Latin-Romance origins, although a significant number of pre-Latin names is also preserved. South of Montejunto-Estrela mountain system, the contact with Arabic has left many lexical, morphological and phonological traces, as is typical of the Portuguese southern regions. Keywords: toponymy; etimology; hydrotoponym; stratum; history of Portuguese.

La comarca de l’Horta de València, la més poblada del País Valencià, rep aquest nom perquè fins a principis del segle XX la seua economia es basava en la seua riquíssima horta (‘terra de regadiu’). A partir de l’estudi dels topònims dels seus nuclis urbans (on l’horta ha estat eradicada) es reconstitueix virtualment el paisatge cultural hortícola perdut en les últimes dècades per a donar a conèixer a la ciutadania i així conscienciar-la del valor patrimonial d’aquest paisatge cultural de l’aigua desaparegut, i també per a revalorar el que sobreviu d’horta encara. Es porta a terme una anàlisi toponímica dels nuclis habitats de la comarca: d’una banda, seguint la metodologia clàssica de recol·lecció de noms de lloc i explicació del seu origen i semàntica; de l’altra, des de l’enfocament crític que estudia l’aspecte ideològic i identitari que enclou la toponímia. Tots dos enfocaments poden integrar-se per a obtenir una anàlisi toponímica més complexa.

The relation between Geography and Toponymy is remarkable, since place names designate places upon the terrestrial surface, and geography is the science that studies phenomena happening upon those places. In addition, place names are an exceptional tool for reconstituting a disappeared geographic landscape. Geography, History and Linguistics are the three main auxiliary disciplines in order to study place names. A place name analysis of a paradigmatic case (Alacant/Alicante) is studied in this paper. First we review the long, convulsive history of ancient Alicante, which involved the abandonment of its Roman site and its moving –together with its place name– into its current location. We also carry out a geographic analysis of the physical features around the Roman site. Finally we carry out an etymological analysis of this place name and formulate a new hypothesis about its possible meaning.

It is a toponymic study of the texts about and by the writer Eulálio Motta that were published in the Mundo Novo newspaper during the years 1931 and 1932. The research is based on the taxonomic classification proposed by Dick (1990, 1992), the theoretical discussions of Seabra (2004, 2006), Barreiros, L. and Barreiros, P. (2016), among others, and the methodology for automatic analysis of the lexicon with the AntConc platform, in Barreiros, L. (2017b). Twelve toponyms belonging to the bahian territory were analyzed: four of physical nature and eight of anthropocultural nature. In the analysis, the naming processes were observed, as well as the questions related to the toponymic change and the cases of parallel toponymy, and also the photographs from the writer's holdings or from other collection that are related to the toponym studied, and also their location in the Google Maps platform.

Place names (toponyms) are proper nouns describing natural and cultural features of a landscape. They often become fossilized over time. The diachronic perspective offered by some place names allows to virtually reconstitute part of the natural and cultural elements of disappeared landscapes. Toponymy also has a referential value, because it designates places and distinguishes them from other places. It also has an identity value, since the inhabitants of a place feel affectionately linked to their living place and, therefore, to the place name. Finally, it is also an ideological science, because the political context determines the choice of one precise place name and not another plausible one. In this paper, which focuses on the case of the municipalities of the Valencian region of La Plana de Castelló, we carried out a new method of classification and interpretation, linked to the rise of critical toponymy recently developed among English-speaking geographers. Certain patterns of toponymic behavior are detected from this study method, which help us to understand the dominant ideological context in our study area. These patterns can be extrapolated to other related territories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Our knowledge of human past remains incomplete without an understanding of the territory. Land has always been essential for human life. This article aims at broadening this knowledge by analyzing the role of territory in the construction of collective identity at two key moments: in the creation of toponyms and in the building up of an image of pride and reputation, in this case, during the Middle Ages. Among all the territorial elements present in both processes, water had a special prominence. Madrid, the closing chapter of this piece of research, is one of the most clear examples of the importance of water in identity development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article we are going to approach the geographical work of al-Muḳaddasī (380/990), Kitāb aḥsan al-taqāsīm fī ma'rifat al-aqālīm (The best divisions for knowledge of the regions). His geographical conception and his systematic methodology make him one of the best representative figures of the geographical literature of the 10th century. Even though, his work includes the geography of empire controlled by Muslims (mamlaka), my contribution just will focus on the Western Islamic world, of which al-Muḳaddasī offers an interesting point of view, firstly for his oriental origin, and secondly for the sources used (he didn't travel to al-Ándalus, and there are few possibilities that he did it to the Maghreb, but that doesn't diminish his work). As an intellectual of the genre almasālik wa-l-mamālik (the paths and kingdoms), he focused on toponymies and principle western routes, which are exhaustively detailed in his work. However, his work as an expert went beyond a part of the physical geographic, so that he focused his interest also in aspects typical of the human geographic. For that reason, his work offers a lot of details about populations of the areas described (habits, food, clothes, religion etc.), providing a testimony which is unique and precise, with a huge value for who is interested in Western Islamic medieval world.

Algunos de los textos más antiguos de San Millán de la Cogolla, aunque fundamentales para la historiografía altomedieval, resultan enormemente problemáticos: confusas redacciones plenomedievales a partir de no se sabe qué originales. No obstante, partiendo de una serie de estudios sobre los orígenes del Becerro Galicano y una nueva edición digital de dicho cartulario, argumentaremos que una lectura atenta y una pormenorizada contextualización topográfica permiten una siempre hipotética reconstrucción del proceso de confección de un archiconocido texto del año 864. Donemiliaga Kukulako testu zaharrenetako batzuk, goi Erdi Aroko historiografiarako funtsezkoak diren arren, oso-oso problematikoak dira: Erdi Aro ertaineko idazkuntza nahasiak, ez dakigu zein jatorrizko dokumentu abiapuntutzat hartuz. Hala eta guztiz ere, Becerro Galicanoaren jatorriari buruzko hainbat azterlan eta kartulario horren edizio digital berri bat abiapuntutzat hartuz, argudiatuko dugu irakurketa sakon batek eta kontestualizazio topografiko zehatz batek 864 urteko testu oso ezagun hori egiteko prozesuaren berreraikuntza hipotetikoa egiteko aukera ematen dutela. Some of the earliest texts from San Millán, although central to early medieval Spanish historiography, are tremendously problematical: anarchic high-medieval compositions drawing on unknown sources. Nonetheless, working from studies into the origins of the Becerro Galicano and a recent digital edition of said cartulary, we maintain that a close reading of the text and detailed study of the local topography allow us to reconstruct the process of composition of one of the most notorious of these compositions, dating from 864.

Se analiza la evolución de los nombres de los municipios catalanes en el marco del proceso de centralización política contemporánea. Se compara la grafía catalana anterior a la Nueva Planta (1715) con la forma escrita oficial a mediados del s. XIX, para comprobar el grado de castellanización experimentado. La misma metodología se aplica en la Cataluña francesa. En total se analizan 1.304 topónimos. Se llega a la conclusión que en la Cataluña española hubo una mayoritaria continuidad de la grafía (76 %), frente a un escaso 33 % en la parte anexionada a Francia. Se distinguen 4 grados de alteración de los topónimos; la distorsión máxima alcanza sólo un 3,3 % de los casos del lado español frente al 51,2 % del francés. La abundante cartografía francesa referida a Cataluña muestra la misma proliferación de topónimos deformados.

Este artículo facilita comentarios onomásticos y etimológicos acerca de la ciudad prehispánica de Chan Chan en la costa norte peruana. El escrito se centra específi camente en los nombres propios Chan Chan y Chimú, que de modo parcial compiten uno con el otro. Se discute ambas denominaciones desde sus aspectos formales, semánticos y etimológicos. Luego, el artículo también considera un nombre posible de una de las estructuras arquitectónicas dentro del complejo urbano.

L’autore dell’articolo si concentra sui problemi che riguardano il coronimo Italia e il suo equivalente nella lingua polacca, Włochy. Descrive i significati e le ipotesi sulle etimologie del coronimo dal punto di vista sincronico e diacronico. Confronta l’uso delle varianti Włochy e Italia in polacco con riferimenti culturali all’origine delle due forme risalenti all’antichità prelatina, nel caso d’Italia, e a quella germanica e slava, nel caso di Włochy, confuso spesso con il suo paronimo Wołochy. Segnala la problematica della transonimizzazione del coronimo Italia nei processi della formazione di antroponimi e crematonimi e del loro funzionamento pragmatico nella comunicazione. Estrae un campione di antonomasie classiche e nuove del toponimo Italia. Nel caso di queste ultime si tratta, nella maggior parte delle occorrenze, dell’assegnazione delle valenze stereotipate all’immagine racchiusa nell’antonomasia in forma di slogan pubblicitari evocativi.

This paper reviews and rethinks both the existence of the signifier Ongotituero for a toponym found in Linás de Broto (Huesca) and the etymology (FONTE *GUTTATŌRIU) given by the British philologist W.D. Elcock, issues typically accepted by researchers. As a result of evidences of a different signifier, Engotituero, that is nowadays recognized by locals, it can be set another linguistic origin that does not present so many problems for acceptance. Hence, this second term can be explained as a -tuero (< -TŌRIU) derivate, now unproductive suffix in Aragonese, built on the archaic and not documented verb *engotir, corresponding the old Castilian engollir, 'gobble', whose /t/ is result of the final evolution of the geminate -LL- present in the original basis of that verb.

Este texto parte da seguinte questão norteadora: qual é a posição ou status que lugar ocupa nos estudos toponímicos? O objetivo geral é discutir lugar como categoria na disciplina toponímia para, em seguida, propor seu alargamento conceptual. Utilizar-se-á a abordagem teórica da Geografia Cultural e Humanista, a partir do viés da Fenomenologia, como também, os princípios teórico-metodológicos da disciplina Toponímia. É uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativa e interpretativista. Conclui-se, nesta etapa do trabalho, que lugar pode ser interpretado como categoria, pois trata-se da extensão/apreensão das relações (motivações) as quais são estabelecidas entre o homem e o próprio nome de lugar: é a sua gênese. O alçamento, enquanto categoria central, deu-se com uma discussão prévia das categorias espaço, território, paisagem e lugar. Daí o conceito em uma dimensão analítica: motivacional, histórica, linguística, ideológica, social, identitária. Quanto à sua extensão semântica, essa acontece no plano da abstração do vínculo que se estabelece entre o denominador e o designatum: como sentimento de pertencimento, afetividade, mundo vivido e experienciado.

Al present article, s’hi mostra l’interès de la cartografia cognitiva per valorar el coneixement del territori i el raonament espacial. L’estudi es desenvolupa al delta de l’Ebre i s’estructura a partir de consignar topònims i elements d’interès territorial en un mapa mut. La població mostral són 132 estudiants de darrer curs de batxillerat dels cinc centres d’educació secundària del Delta. Mitjançant diferents tècniques d’anàlisi cartogràfica, s’evidencien aspectes de cognició espacial difícils de detectar amb altres procediments. Els resultats assenyalen que els participants tenen un bon coneixement del territori però que presenten dificultats a l’hora de concretar-lo en un mapa a escala detallada, a causa d’unes habilitats espacials poc treballades.

The following paper is interested in the theoretical aspect of linguistic work. That is why it points out its importance when dealing with disciplines such as linguistics, which work on objects that are the product of theoretical reflections. For this purpose, we try to distinguish which are the different objects of study used in a field of linguistics such as toponymy. The main objective is to demonstrate how the objects used for linguistic analysis are, in reality, the result of a theoretical and methodological elaboration guided by the particular interests and objectives of the researcher

Taking a synthetic approach, the author of the paper presents the explanations of the etymology of the geographical name Gniezno, which is present in historical literature and linguistic works, and has been the object of interest since Middle Ages for chroniclers, and later for historiographers and linguists. Moreover, the author discusses the form of this toponym, explains the changes it underwent, and presents hypotheses concerning its motivation.

Hona dakargun saioaren helburua saroi entitate geografikoaren banaketaz, esanahiaz nahiz etorkiaz baliagarri gerta daitezkeen argibideak ematea da, euskal toponimian kausitzen diren elementuen izaera finkatzen laguntzea alegia, bide batez, euskararen arlo fonikoaren, morfologiaren edota lexikoaren historia ikertzeko erabilgarriak izan daitezkeen datuak bilduz eta sailkatuz. Saroiak itxuratzen dituzten ezaugarriak, edota haien bilakaera, onomastikaren eskutik zenbateraino ezagut daitezkeen ere ikusi nahi dugu, saroien jatorriak argitzeke baitirau.

Lan honen helburua Juan Arin Dorronsororen «Material toponímico» argitaragabeare 25. paper-zorroan dagoen edukiaren berri ematea da, 1940. urtean hark egindako krokisean Enirio-Aralarko toponimiaz biltzen den informazioa osatzeko.

En el artículo se estudia el nombre de Heredia, pueblo del municipo de Barrundia en Álava. Se estudian dos aspectos, el étimo y la forma vasca. Vistos los testimonios históricos, Lazarraga y la toponimia actual, Deredia era la forma usada en euskara. Hay que decir que esta forma sigue viva en la toponimia actual. En lo que respecta al étimo este sería *Villa Derediana y no praedia o heredium como se ha escrito.

Euskarak mendebaldean izan duen muga kokatu nahi izan da toponimian utzi dituen aztarnen bidea. Erabilitako esparrua itsasoa eta Goilautada artekoa izan da, Enkarterri eta Aiara hain justu. Ageri diren toponimoak ikusita badirudi Castro, Balmaseda, Artzeniega, Gorobel lerroa nahiko iraunkorra izan zela.

Lan honetan egilea euskararen eta erromantzearen arteko muga Nafarroan non barna igaro den zehazten saiatzen da, irispidean zituen leku izenetan oinarrituz. lkus daitekeen bezala, Bizkai aldeko mendebaldeko hizkuntza mugak argitzen dituen M Gorrotxategiren lanaren eta Araba aldekoak finkatzen dituen E. Martínez de Madina eta R. González de Viñaspreren artikuluaren osagarria da hau. Pirinioetako beste alderdi batzuetako toponimia ere ukitzen da, laburki baizik ez bada ere.

Lan honen helburua Juan Arin Dorronsororen Enirio-Aralarko krokisean (1940) dagoen geografia eta onomastika arloko informazioa argitara ematea da. Zenbait kasutan, ataundarrak egindako lanaren balioa azpimarratzeko eta toponimia corpusa arautze aldera, datuak beste iturri batzuetako erreferentziekin osatu ditugu.

El vacío documental sume la historia lingüística de Álava hasta el siglo X en el terreno de las conjeturas y las incertidumbres. Esa situación cambia con el documento de La Reja, del año 1025. Los datos toponímicos que se recogen en este y documentos posteriores dibujan la geografía histórica de la lengua vasca. Julio Caro Baroja y especialmente Odón de Apráiz realizaron ensayos de sistematización con esos datos. En el presente artículo los autores, atendiendo a esos trabajos precedentes y al creciente conocimiento de la toponimia histórica de Álava, intentan trazar los límites geográficos de la lengua vasca en Álava para época medieval y, en consecuencia, identifican áreas de contacto vasco-románico.

Artikuluaren mintzagaia Urumeako zilegimendietako toponimia doktorego tesia da. Ikerlan horretan aztertzen den lurraldea Gipuzkoako ipar-sortaldean dago. Donostia, Hernani eta Urnietako zenbait aurkintzak osatzen dute eta 38 km2 ditu. Neurri handi batean euskaldun dirauen eremu horrek 12. mendetik honako idatzizko informazioa baliatzeko aukera ematen du, eta hori, Gipuzkoan bederen, ez da ohiko gauza. Labur beharrez, idazki honetan egileak lau gai hartzen ditu ahotan: lanaren helburuak, esparrua, iturriak eta bildutako toponimiaren azterketatik zenbait ataletan ateratako ondorioak.

O presente artigo tem por objetivo discutir o uso político-partidário das toponímias no município fluminense de Nilópolis. A cidade em questão, componente da Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro e conhecida na escala nacional e internacional por sediar a Escola de Samba Beija-Flor de Nilópolis, presencia um intenso processo de modificações de nomes de equipamentos públicos pautados por interferências políticas. Como a etimologia sugere, toponímia diz respeito ao estudo dos nomes dos lugares, contudo, para a análise em questão selecionamos apenas os espaços públicos que sofreram alteração de nomenclatura recentemente como forma de expressar o poder de um determinado segmento político, demarcando um território. A análise dessa questão no cenário nilopolitano aponta para a predominância de dois grupos políticos os quais influenciam fortemente na decisão de nomear tais espaços: o clã Abraão-Sessim e os Calazans, os quais demarcam no espaço um poder territorial.
