"Cognitive Onomastics" by Olena Karpenko

As you know, the programme of ICOS 2014 is already available and I would like just to point out some proposals which will be presented throughout the Congress. I am going to stress rather general and global works that contribute to the onomastics' development. 


I start with "Cognitive Onomastics" of Olena Karpenko (Olena is Ukrainian version of Russian "Elena"). You can enjoy it on Monday 25th August at 11:30. 

Olena Karpenko is from very "onomastic" family, her father is prominent Professor of Onomastics Yuri Karpenko and her mother Muza Chicherina researched on antroponomastics.
