The 43rd NORNA's Symposium
Innovations in names and name patterns
will be held in Halmstad on 6-8 November 2013
Names are part of language and society because language and social change bring new necessities and new opportunities for naming and name research. Therefore, the symposium's theme, "Innovations in names and name patterns" should be understood broadly and contributions in various areas are welcome: innovative names and name patterns, establishment of names for innovations, multi-cultural names, literary names, attitudes to new names and designs as well as innovative theories, methods and applications. The Symposium includes both place names and personal names, as well as other types of the names. The Symposium has invited several key speakers to highlight the name research from an innovative perspective.
