Happy to welcome you on the last day of 2015 and on the first day of 2016

Dear readers! This is Dr. Evgeny Shokhenmayer, happy to welcome you on the last day of 2015, here on 
www.e-onomastics.blogspot.com.

I would be very surprised if many people visited my blog on New Year’s Eve. Surely you have friends and family to celebrate everything you achieved in 2015 and to share your hopes for 2016.



I don’t want to keep you from the table full of delicious food and from watching the fireworks, so instead of my usual long speech I’ll just say this…

2015 was an amazing year for me, and for e-Onomastics. This blog yet again broke all records receiving over 250 000 visits and getting over 1370 posts. Our Twitter community grew up to 345 followers, with 265 likes and 4 025 tweets!

I truly am grateful to everyone who contributed to e-Onomastics Blog in 2015, to all the visitors who came here searching for the latest names-related updates, to all the linguists who used this website and recommended it to their colleagues, to everyone who referred their friends here to get help with onomastics, to people who sent their feedback and helped us to improve. Your support means more than I can put into words.



I love you all, and hope you have a wonderful 2016!




onomastically yours,

About the Book

This volume takes up rhetorical approaches to our primarily linguistic 
understanding of how names work, considering how theories of materiality in 
rhetoric enrich conceptions of the name as word or symbol and help explain the processes of name bestowal, accumulation, loss, and theft. Contributors theorize 
the formation, modification, and recontexualization of names as a result of technological and cultural change, and consider the ways in which naming 
influences identity and affects/grants power.

Reviews

"As more and more self-sponsored writing is broadcast publicly in the digital age, the 
power of naming things is becoming increasingly important, complex, and downright confusing. Who has the power to determine a name or label and cast it out into the world 
to be used by others? And indeed, what impact does such a name have? This new 
volume addresses these and other important questions that must, now more than ever, 
be addressed by academic disciplines that concern themselves with the public uses of language." - Susan Meyers, Seattle University, USA

Tagung 2016 "Linguistik der Eigennamen"

http://www.namenforschung.net/tagungen/namengrammatik/

Linguistik der Eigennamen

Tagung 2016

Am 10. und 11. Oktober 2016 findet in der Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur Mainz eine Tagung zum linguistischen (Sonder-)Status von Eigennamen statt.
Wegen des reichen Ertrags der Tagung "Linguistik der Familiennamen" im Jahr 2012 (s. dazu Debus et al. 2014) planen wir für 2016, diese linguistische Fokussierung auf den Eigennamen als sprachliche Kategorie auszudehnen. Erfreulicherweise gibt es derzeit in Deutschland mehrere namengrammatische Initiativen, die wir durch diese Tagung bündeln und stärken wollen. Dabei laden wir besonders LinguistInnen und GrammatikerInnen ein - sei es mit synchroner, diachroner und/oder kontrastiver Ausrichtung -, diese Tagung durch neue Forschungen und Erkenntnisse zu bereichern.
Insgesamt wurde die Namengrammatik von der Linguistik weitgehend übersehen und von der Onomastik selbst kaum als ihr Gegenstand wahrgenommen (sie befasst sich mehrheitlich mit der Etymologie von Namen). Dies erklärt die beträchtlichen Wissensdefizite bzgl. des grammatischen Verhaltens von Namen. Dabei weisen Namen als monoreferente Ausdrücke ohne Semantik auf allen sprachlichen Ebenen Sonderentwicklungen auf: Auf der phonologischen Ebene etwa durch (abweichende) phonotaktische und prosodische Eigenschaften, auf der flexionsmorphologischen durch ein geringeres Maß an Allomorphie und per se weniger Flexion, insbesondere Introflexion (weniger Ab-/Umlaut, Stufenwechsel), auf der syntaktischen durch andere Stellungsregeln (im Deutschen beim Genitiv). Auch der Artikel erlangt vor Eigennamen ganz andere Funktionen als vor Appellativen, indem er - zusammen mit Genus - alsclassifier fungiert, der Informationen über das denotierte Objekt liefert (der Continental→ Auto, das Continental → Hotel/Restaurant/Bier, die Continental → Motorrad/Flugzeug) (Nübling 2015). Ebenso können Eigennamen in der Wortbildung von den üblichen Mustern divergieren, indem sie, wie im Fall der Warennamen, von besonderen Wortschöpfungstechniken Gebrauch machen (Ronneberger-Sibold 2000, 2004) oder sich eigene Derivationsmuster leisten (die Frankfurter Opergrimmsche Märchenobamaeske Weise). Graphematisch sind Namen die einzige Wortart im Deutschen, die orthographisch nicht normiert ist und anderen Regularitäten folgt, was bspw. die Graphotaktik oder die Setzung von Syngraphemen wie Apostroph und Bindestrich betrifft. Aus diachroner Perspektive erweisen sich Eigennamen einerseits als konservativ (Erhalt des pränominalen Genitivs), vielfach aber auch als Vorreiter grammatischer Neuerungen - so bei der Entwicklung des ‑s-Plurals (Nübling/Schmuck 2010) oder der Substantivgroßschreibung (Bergmann/Nerius 1998). Dies unterstreicht einmal mehr die bislang unterschätzte Relevanz der Namengrammatik - ein Missstand, dem diese Tagung abhelfen soll.
Themenvorschläge im Umfang von max. einer DIN A4-Seite (inkl. Literaturliste) werden erbeten bis zum 31.05. 2016 an: E-Mail
Veranstalterinnen: Luise Kempf, Damaris Nübling, Mirjam Schmuck
