2013 Geographic Names Conference

http://cogna50usa.org/2013minneapolis/2013_minneapolis.htm


Mark your calendars for April 30 – May 4, 2013

2013 Geographic Names Conference

Call for Papers

Opportunity / Goal
The 2013 conference will provide the opportunity to share the combined knowledge of the United States Board on Geographic Names (US-BGN), its staff, State Geographic Names Authority experts, and other State and Federal partners with anyone who has a vested interest in the inner workings of geographic names and the process by which they are made official for Federal use.

We invite anyone who uses geographic names in their work, and persons who would like to share their experiences in geographic names, standardization, policies, and practices to submit proposals for individual presentations (30 min), panel sessions (up to 1.5 hrs), or a roundtable discussion topic.  Any individual or organization working with geographic names and map production is encouraged to apply.  Proposals are welcome from university scholars, community leaders, or anyone with a personal or professional interest in geographic names and their application to maps.

Description
As official State Geographic Names Authorities, we are often made aware of efforts by State Legislators to create new geographic names or change existing names. How does this impact the official naming process at the Federal level? What happens when State, County, City, or Town officials and mapping departments apply geographic names that have not been through the official naming process? These individuals may apply names with good intentions, but are unaware of the official approval process. During the 2013 COGNA conference we will explore ways to improve the communication among all levels of government. This topic can sometimes create as much tension as well as lead to more questions.  Who is the authority that decides what is official? Does the process change if the geographic feature is within the boundaries of a local jurisdiction? Or, on Federally administered lands?  How do the Federal Government’s policies affect naming practices at the State and local level?  How do name changes affect the emergency preparedness community? We hope to provide answers to these and many other questions.

Program Highlights
The conference is open to the public for a small registration fee, which includes all conference materials, attendance at the Conference Opening with Federal cartographers’ reports (formerly the reception), and admission to all daytime conference sessions.  Optional activities include a Friday evening Banquet and Saturday Toponymic Tour, which require separate fees.  Each year the conference hosts a State-Federal Roundtable Discussion, a meeting of the US-BGN Domestic Names Committee, and several academic presentations.  The 2013 conference will also include workshops by the Forest Service regional cartographers and the U.S. Geological Survey geospatial liaisons on their geographic names roles, responsibilities, and recent activities.

Submission details:
Please send a 250-word abstract to Wayne Furr at twfurr@cogna50usa.org.  Indicate what type of presentation and abstract you are sending – individual or panel discussion.  For panel discussion provide the names of all people involved and their affiliation.  In addition to presentations and panel discussions, we are requesting topics for the State-Federal Roundtable discussion. We hope that you will save the dates and join us at the 2013 Council of Geographic Names Conference April 30—May 4, 2013 in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Dr. Donna L. Lillian Named President of American Name Society

Lillian Named President of American Name Society - Can You Say 'Onomastics'?

Dr. Donna L. Lillian, director of the women’s studies program at Appalachian State University and an associate professor of English, is an onomastician and has begun a two-year term as president of the American Name Society (ANS), the oldest scholarly society devoted to the study of names in the United States.

Lillian took office earlier this month during the society’s annual meeting held in Boston in conjunction with the Linguistic Society of America.

“Names have a lot to do with identity,” Lillian said. “So if we want to know who we are, then one way of exploring that is what we call ourselves, all the things we do and interact with.”

Onomastics also encompasses a range of academic areas of interest, Lillian explained. For example, areas of interest to researchers include names in politics, religion and literature. Society members who are geographers study names of cities, towns, streets, mountains or rivers.

“If you look at the place names of North America, you can learn a lot about history, migration patterns and values,” Lillian said. “Scholars of literature will often study names in favorite pieces of literature or those used by certain authors, such as Dickens who did interesting things with his characters’ names,” Lillian said.

Dickens’ colorful and character-defining include Mr. Sloppy, Artful Dodger and of course, Scrooge. Others study trade names.

“Trends in name choices for children can say something about what we as a society are preoccupied with,” Lillian said. “If a particular individual such as an athlete, actor or politician gains quite a bit of popularity, then a lot of people start naming their child after that person. Historically you can look back and see what were some of those preoccupations.”  

Each year during its annual meeting, the American Name Society votes on the preceding year’s top personal name, place name, trade name and fictional name.  Winners were Malala, Gangman, fiscal cliff and Downton Abbey, respectively.  Malala was selected because the name has become associated with a cause – advocating for education of Pakistani girls, particularly in an area controlled by the Taliban.

The society’s overall name of the year was Sandy for its association with Hurricane Sandy and Sandy Hook Elementary School, Lillian said.

Lillian’s interest in names was fueled while teaching a language and gender course while a master’s degree candidate at the University of Toronto. “I began thinking about women’s marital name choices, our naming practices in general and how the family surname is virtually always the father’s surname,” she said. “For my master’s thesis, I did an empirical study on patterns of women’s naming choices and the courtesy title Ms.”

She has continued her research on women’s use of surnames when they marry and their use of the courtesy titles Miss, Ms. or Mrs. and how those trends have changed during the past 30 years.

“There have been some interesting shifts,” Lillian said. “In the mid-80s, there was a growing trend toward women keeping their surname when they married. Professional women and younger women were more likely to keep their name. Women who had married before the mid-70s changed their name.”

That trend began changing in the mid-90s. “The trend is reversing itself now among younger women. Fewer women under 30 are keeping their name when they marry,” Lillian said. Some of the women Lillian surveyed recounted the hassles their mother encountered by keeping her surname and didn’t want a similar experience. “There was also a big connection with a return to conservative values including a family all having the same surname.”

When it comes to the use of Ms., the trends are also interesting. Originally used to eliminate the distinction between Miss and Mrs., Lillian said that by the 1980s many people had a negative association with Ms., equating it with feminism or radical overtones, or a title used by divorced women.

“By 2006, people assumed it was a third title, not associated with feminism, and they are surprised to learn it was meant to replace Miss or Mrs. The women I surveyed thought it was a handy third term to indicate someone who is separated or divorced or to use as a placeholder if you don’t know their marital status. It has undergone quite a shift.”

Lillian recently has been researching the various names of the 750 college and university women’s studies programs in the U.S., any changes that have occurred over the years and why. “Within my field now, that’s a big topic of discussion,” she said.  Program names range from women’s studies to gender studies or gender and sexuality studies.

In addition to her duties as president of the American Name Society, Lillian, with the help of Dr. Cheryl Claassen from Appalachian’s Department of Anthropology, hopes to revive the Blue Ridge Names Society and hold a conference in the fall.

Namephreak

http://www.zeigen.com/blog/2008/02/namephreak/

The late Herb Caen, venerable San Francisco columnist and inventor of three dot journalism (do kids today even know who he is?), would often run stories about people whose names happened to be suggestive of their job or situation in life.

http://www.qotd.org/search/search.html?aid=2964

Like the guy who called up my Aunt Karen (back when she worked selling fixtures such as fasteners and knobs) to buy 6 gross brass knobs, whose name was Watanabe (pronounced Want-A-Knobbie).

Anyway.

In the paper this morning, story about the two skiers from San Francisco who were rescued two days after being reported missing, and who were found seven miles away from the ski resort, suffering from minor frostbite, using survival techniques they learned from the Discovery channel.

One of them had the last name of “Frost.”

Dun dun dun.

Good thing his name wasn’t “Frozetodeath.”

Aptronym, aponym, apronym, namephreaks

http://theyuniversity.tumblr.com/post/4371776589/do-you-have-an-aptronym

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aptronym

An aptronym (also: aptonym) or charactonym is a name aptly suited to its owner. Fictional examples of aptronyms include Mr. Talkative and Mr. Worldly Wiseman in John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress (1678),

Truman Burbank (true-man), the lead character in the 1998 film The Truman Show,

the principal cast of the Mr. Men (1971), and all the characters in Marc Blitzstein's 1937 play The Cradle Will Rock.

Nominative determinism

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_determinism

Nominative determinism (ND) is the theory that a person's name can have a significant role in determining key aspects of job, profession or even character. 

It was a commonly held notion in the ancient world.

Synonyms and/or related concepts include: aptronym, apronym, aptonym, jobonyms, 'namephreaks', onomastic determinism, 'perfect fit last names' (PFLNs), psychonymics and, classically, the notion that nomen est omen, or όνομα ορίζοντας. Tom Stoppard in his play Jumpers labelled the phenomenon cognomen syndrome.

A related term, to refer to a name peculiarly suited to its owner, is aptronym, said to have been coined by the US newspaper columnist Franklin P. Adams.

The distinction between cognitive determinacy and a mere aptronym is seen as subtle but fundamental: i.e. post hoc vs propter hoc. ND researchers are sometimes referred to as comiconomenclaturists — connoisseurs of humorous names.

Uncommon first names: ‘Europa’

As the launch of a new online database exploring the origins of strange surnames is announced in the UK, we think of the Scarletts, Nikes and Solidarities in this EU world

Many are Daft, few Silly

When it comes to strange surnames there is one golden rule: only other people's are funny...

War of words over English name for Holyhead estate

A WAR of words has erupted in Holyhead, after using an English name for a new housing estate was rejected by Anglesey County Council.

The right of naming new housing estates has been handed over from the local authority to community councils, but they are only supposed to use “Welsh” names.

At last Monday night’s meeting Holyhead Town councillors were forced to re-visit the naming of the 12 house estate in Llaingoch that has been built by DU Construction.

Popular place names in Börde, Harz and Holzland

The centuries-old custom to give distinctive names to the neighboring villages is almost forgotten. The bitter  folk humor of the past quickly "encapsulates" peculiarities of the place and its inhabitants. At the turn of the millennium, there are only a few of them in Börde and Harz that can provide that information.


The abandonment of this tradition of regional culture and language is so persistent that the source of oral tradition dries slowly up. To record testimonies of regional dialect from Börde, Harz and the fore-Harz area for future generations, Thomas Kruse collated names, stories and sayings in their original form.

With its lexicographically oriented exposition he also makes an important contribution to the research of local names in the Saxony-Anhalt.

Goodbye Mr Chips as study highlights surnames facing 'extinction'

The title of the book and film “Goodbye Mr Chips” could prove to be prophetic after genealogists singled it out as a surname on the brink of “extinction”.

Hatman, Rummage, and Harred are among other names now used by only a few people in Britain, according to a study by the family history website Ancestry.co.uk.

But even some seemingly high profile names are in danger of “dying out” in the UK, it claims.
The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg’s surname is among those which were once among the most common in Britain but now increasingly rare.

As many as 200,000 surnames found in the 1901 census could not be detected in a survey of names a century later.

Among those which had apparently disappeared in the intervening century were Jarsdel, Nithercott, Raynott and Woodbead.

Naming patients or healthy onomastics

http://www.eyephysics.com/ps/ps5/userguide/NewPatient.html

At work recently I felt like a broken record. “What’s their name?” I said again and again with increasing frustration as I received calls about patients who were referred to as “bed 3,” “side room 1,” and “bed 9.”

Of course, at times it is convenient and even desirable to omit a patient’s name in a conversation. It was suggested on Twitter that it may be better to overhear what ‘bed 9′ needs rather than ‘John Doe is ready for his haemorrhoidectomy,’ and in this case I agree! My worry is that in most cases there is no explicit intent to maintain confidentiality. Instead the convenience of referring to people by their bed number slips into routine communication. I have certainly been guilty of this myself. I worry that this is not merely disrespectful, but that it contributes to the dehumanising experience of being a patient, and negatively impacts on the doctor-patient relationship.

Naming Nemo: How the Storm Got Its Name

Back in October 2012, everybody was poohooing The Weather Channel’s (TWC) plan to start giving names to significant winter storms. Now it looks like a large number of reports on the storm, dubbed Nemo by TWC, have adopted the name (not all, by any means, but lots, including Discovery News).

What happened? I’ll say it in three words: search engine optimization. Despite very reasonable arguments against the naming of winter storms by many meteorologists, we are seeing them adopted anyway.

Onomastics goes business. Role and relevance of brand, company and other names in economic contexts

A new collection has been edited by

Holger Wochele, Julia Kuhn, Martin Stegu (Hrsg.)

ISBN 978-3-8325-3153-9
297 Seiten, Erscheinungsjahr: 2012
Preis: 42.00 EUR

Stichworte/keywords: Angewandte Linguistik, Namenkunde, Marketing, Wirtschaft, Sprachwissenschaft

reposted from http://www.logos-verlag.de/cgi-bin/engbuchmid?isbn=3153&lng=deu&id=

In the last few decades, onomastics has widened its research focus, from a largely theoretical and often historical approach to a more synchronic and 'applied' orientation. This re-orientation has also brought about a growing interest in name types, such as brand, product and company names, which play an important role in business and the economy.

Not only in the special sections on conferences of the International Council of Onomastic Sciences (ICOS), but also elsewhere a certain tradition has been established organising independent symposia devoted to names in business and the economy. In October 2005 took place the workshop ''Wirtschaft, Kommunikation und Sprache'' (''Economy, Communication, and Language'') held during the Austrian Linguistics Conference in Graz. The series of symposia ''Names in the Economy'' started officially at Antwerp in 2006. The second symposium was organised in Vienna in 2007, a third symposium was held in Amsterdam in June 2009 and a fourth in June 2012, in Turku/Finland.

The present volume contains most of the papers given at the international symposium on Names in the Economy, held at the Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien from 15 to 16 June 2007. Most of these correspond to presentations given there, but some develop ideas that emerged in discussion at the conference. As regards editorial policy, it was our conscious decision not to follow the general tendency to use English as the sole academic language, but rather to publish in a variety of different languages. The contributors to this volume come from different academic and non-academic backgrounds and are at different stages of their careers.

The book is divided into four sections: after various general studies (1) come contributions on the genesis and structure of brand names (2) and on diachronic aspects of brand names (3). The volume concludes with a number of case studies (4).

Le nom propre - Fonctions logiques et inconscientes

A new book on proper names has appeared recently:

09/01/13 

PUF COLLECTION : philosophie d'aujourd'hui 

ISBN : 978-2-13-061730-3 

EAN : 9782130617303 

321 p.

Proper name, a major linguistic mistery has acquired the status of a philosophical problem since the time of Bertrand Russell. Nothing more alive than a proper name, despite its look of "rigid indicator" (Kripke). That's all what certifies its history of three subsets (byname, forename and surname), be it patrilineal or matrilineal. The proper name draws its symbolic function and this book makes a contribution to the "logics of names" with the resources of psychoanalysis.

The "unconscious life" of the proper name appears in various functions (identifying, erotic, etc.) and impose itself as a condition of consciousness, as an indicator of the speech. Its role concerns finally the psychopathology, whether an ordinary amnesia of the name or its foreclosure in the psychoses. Thus we see how the major languistic stake for the contemporary "analytic philosophy" is showing up.  And beyond, it also concerns the issues related to writing, what this book investigates as well.

Gérard Pommier is a psychoanalyst in Paris, a psychiatrist and professor emeritus, a member of "Analytic Space". He currently teaches at Paris VII. He is the author of "Birth and Rebirth of writing" (PUF, 1993) and "What does it mean "make" love"? (Flammarion, 2010).

French Onomastician Sarah Leroy crossed a Great Divide (((

I deeply regret to announce that a famous  and young French onomatologist Sarah Leroy has been found dead at her Paris home more than one week ago. The police could not give any details yet...

That most distressing news can be already read on the website of Praxiling at the University Montpellier 3 where she had studied: http://www.praxiling.fr/tragique-nouvelle.html?lang=fr

Sarah has been a student there, she has successfully defended her PhD thesis " Entre identification et catégorisation, l'antonomase du nom propre en français" (2001) http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00086307/

in that lab under the direction of Prof. Paul Siblot, who was working among others on the socionomastics:

Dr. Sarah Leroy forged her linguistic thought in the school of Montpellier. I do honour to Madam Leroy and I am proud for having known her personally for a couple of years during my doctoral research at Paris X. She was very kind to me and gave me to read her PhD thesis and this work on modified proper names:

I am in mourning and extend my sincere condolences to the family and relatives. Toutes mes condoléances

As a commemoration I would like to evoke her exciting manuscript, which I keep and use like a reference work till now:

Her personal page in the lab MoDyCo where I am a member "jeune chercheur associé": http://www.modyco.fr/index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&userid=8&Itemid=0&lang=fr

She researched on:

- discursive phenomena of categorization (operations of linguistic (re)categorization, of identity attribution in the intersubjective negociation carried out by proper nouns, comparisons and reformulations);
- delimitation and construction of categories (category of proper names envisaged purely as a linguistic subject or category of deonomastic forms);
- categorial shifts and contacts within the lexicon (derrivatives, loanwords) and other languages.

One video can be found under: http://www.modyco.fr/corpus/tutoriels/exemple-annnotation-oral-sd.html
It's "Un exemple d’annotation sur corpus oral transcrit : PFC".

Another can be seen here: http://lettres.univ-tours.fr/actualites/conference-pleniere-du-30-novembre-54359.kjsp It's about "Parangon et identité: les constructions comparatives".

I would like to enumerate some of her works on onomastics:
