Création d’un comité de toponymie dans la ville de Laval

lien

​​Désignation des rues et lieux publics désormais encadrée à Laval

La Ville de Laval a adopté une Politique de dénomination toponymique en avril 2018 afin d’encadrer formellement la façon dont elle nomme ses rues, ses édifices, ses parcs et espaces verts, ses équipements sportifs ou culturels et tout autre lieu ou espace public.

Afin de mettre en œuvre cette politique, un comité de toponymie sera ​mis en place cet automne. Celui-ci sera chargé d’analyser les demandes de dénomination toponymique et de faire des recommandations au comité exécutif sur la base des critères énoncés dans la politique.​

Un comité de toponymie, formé de citoyens lavallois et d’un élu, sera créé pour mettre en oeuvre la Politique de dénomination toponymique.

​Sur la base des critères d’analyse et de choix énoncés dans cette politique, le comité a pour mandat :


  • ​d’analyser toute demande de dénomination toponymique 
  • de faire des recommandations à l’administration lavalloise
  • de répondre à toute question relative à la toponymie qui lui est soumise

Ономастикалық жаңғыру – рухани жаңғыру кепілі

link

Ахмет Байтұрсынов атындағы Қостанай мемлекеттік университетінде "Ономастикалық жаңғыру – рухани жаңғыру кепілі" атты республикалық ғылыми-практикалық конференция өтуде. Оған Қостанай, Астана, Алматы, Павлодар қалаларының тарихшы, филолог ғалымдары мен мамандары қатысып жатыр. Ономастика саласындағы ғылыми-пратикалық мәселелер жөнінде баяндамалар жасалып, пікір-ойлар ортаға салынды.

Шараның басты мақсаты – тарихи топонимдер, өлкенің танымал тұлғалары туралы мәліметтерді жинақтау, жүйелеу және бірізділендіру, елді мекендер мен олардың құрамдас бөліктерін ономастикалық жаңғырту бойынша ұсыныстар әзірлеу.



"Рухани жаңғыру" бағдарламасын жүзеге асырудағы өзекті мәселе – бұрмаланған, ұмыт қалған қазақы атауларды қалпына келтіру, сол арқылы қоғамдық сананы жаңғырту. Латын қарпіне көшуге бел буған ұлт ең әуелі осы ономастиканы ретке келтіріп алуы керек. Ономастика кирилл қарпімен жасалғандықтан, бірізділіктің болмауы – әуелден өзекті проблема. Қазақы атаулардың үндік өзгеріске ұшырауынан көп қателік кездеседі. Бұл дамыған елдердегідей бізде ономастикалық заңды нұсқаулықтардың әлі қалыптаспағанын көрсетеді. Мұны топоним, антропоним, прагматоним түйткілдерін тарқатқан астаналық маман, филология ғылымдарының кандидаты Жазира Ағабекова айтты. Ал ҚМУ профессоры Қалқаман Жақып өз баяндамасында ономастиканың жер мен ел тұтастығының кепілі екенін тілге тиек етті.

"Жер-судың байырғы атауларын қайтаруды жалпыхалықтық мүддеге айналдыру қажет. Сондай-ақ, оны орысшадан қазақшаға емес, мемлекеттік тілге аудару деп түсінетін кез келді. Бұған этностық, саяси тұрғыда емес, азаматтық позициямен араласу керек. Қалай болғанда да, ең бірінші салмақ, жауапкершілік – топтастырушы қазақ ұлтында, сондықтан бұған мақсатты түрде кірісуіміз шарт", — деді ол. Конференция сайын бұрқырап айтылып жататын ұсыныстың ешқайсысы жоғарғы жаққа жетіп, қарауға алынып, шешімін таба бермейтінін де сынға ала өтті ол. 

"Бұл үшін конференция, дөңгелек үстел форматы түсіндіру-насихаттау форматына ауысуы керек. Сонда ғана қоғамдық пікір қалыптасады" , — деді Ш.Уәлиханов атындағы тарих және этнология институтының директоры, профессор, тарих ғылымдарының докторы Зерек Қабылдинов. Мәртебелі мейман баяндамасында қазақ жеріндегі атауларды славяндық ныспылардың қалай ығыстырғанына тоқталды. Патшалық, отаршылдық саясаттың "сарқынынан", ұлттың басына түскен трагедиялардың табынан батыл түрде арылатын уақыттың жеткенін ол да қадап айтты.

"Мәселен, Мәскеуден Напалеон көшесін, ал Парижден Кутузов көшесін кездестіруіміз мүмкін бе? Бұл деген нағыз нонсенс (ақылға сыйымсыз. — автор) болар еді ғой. Ал мен бізге не тарихи, не басқа жағынан мүлдем қатысы жоқ Суворов, Кутузов сынды көшелерді елімізде ұшырастырғанда жағамды ұстап таң қалғам. Кім қойды? Қашан, не үшін қойды? Міне, барып тұрған нонсенс. Осындай бейсауат атаулар кейбір өңірде әлі бар. Сондықтан да, ономастика мәселелерін шешу рухани жаңғырудың алғышарттарының біріне айналса артық емес", — деді З.Қабылдинов. — Сіздерге айтарым, нақты келісіп-пішілген ұсыныстарыңызбен республикалық ономастикалық комиссияға жүгініңіздер. Үлкен өзгерістерді қажет ететін ұсыныстар жерде қалмауы керек деп ойлаймын. Өздеріңіз білесіздер, тарихи, рухани сипатына байланысты, Түркістан облысы пайда болды. Қандай жарасымды! Тарихшы ретіндегі көзқарасым бойынша, Қостанай қала болып қала берсін, бірақ облыс атауы "Торғай" болып өзгеруі керек сияқты!"

Республикалық мамандар ономастикалық жаңғыру тұрғысында ілгерілеушілік байқалғанымен, Қостанай облысының әлі де кенжелеп тұрғанын жасырмады.  Мұнан кейін жергілікті ғалымдар Қостанай өңірінің топономикасына талдау жүргізіп, оны тану – ата-бабамыздың ділі мен дүниетанымын тану екенін ұғындырды. Сонымен қатар, конференция барысында Ахаңның 145 жылдығына орай Ақкөл ауылына ұлт көсемінің есімі берілгені, Бейімбет Майлиннің 125 жылдығына орай Таран ауданына атын беру, Жеңіс күні қарсаңында Қостанай қаласындағы көшелердің бірін ҰОС ардагері Естай Ещановтың есімімен атау ұсыныстары қаралып жатқаны жария етілді. Материалды толығырақ газеттің алдағы нөмірінен оқи аласыздар.

UNGEGN Scientific Symposium (October 2018, Brussels)

pdf



Concept Note 

The approach to geographical names standardization varies from one country to another in terms of organization, principles, policies and procedures. According to the Manual for the National Standardization of Geographical Names (UNGEGN 2006), no method is better than another, provided each achieves the goal of establishing consistently written names that are nationally accepted and agree with the local and written usages. Where the standardization of geographical names used to be a top-down activity, an increasing number of political, social, economic and commercial actors seek power and influence in the standardization process. In a world where the concept of ‘one language, one people, one state’ is no longer valid, it is not always obvious which name forms are ‘nationally accepted’ and ‘agree with the local and written usages’. Changes in standardization processes present serious challenges which need to be addressed, regarding the use of geographical names within national, regional and global geospatial information frameworks.

This symposium seeks to share knowledge, experiences and thoughts on the role and importance of expert knowledge in all steps towards a standardized name, including the establishment of a national framework for standardization, the selection of name varieties for a given geographical feature, the determination of a written form, and the implementation, promotion and evaluation of authorized name forms to their implementation and integration in geospatial information management systems.

Acknowledging that the study of geographical names inevitably touches upon the fields of both onomastics and geography, and may include elements of social and other sciences, the theme of the symposium invites participants to critically explore and broaden the understanding of expert knowledge in the context of geographical names standardization. An important aim of the symposium is to enlighten conflicting views and interests in the standardization process today and to discuss how these can be managed and balanced. Presentations scrutinizing the relationship between expert knowledge and local community knowledge are especially welcomed.

The theme of the symposium raises questions such as: What is considered ‘expert knowledge’ in the context of geographical names standardization? How can expert knowledge be gathered and facilitated? How are the experts identified and selected? How can expert knowledge be secured, developed and adjusted in the future?

Topics that may be discussed are:

  • Crowdsourcing and local participation in the standardization process 
  • Quality assurance and securement of toponymic data collection 
  • Access to and utilization of expert knowledge in the production of maps and atlases 
  • Experiences and reflections on the standardization of indigenous and minority group geographical names 
  • The influence of private and commercial companies on geographical name usage; how can we facilitate collaboration? 
  • Increased commodification of geographical names; the use of geographical names in different branding and promotional strategies 
  • The importance of pronunciation and vocal names registration for speech technology

​Topic of the symposium: 
The central topic of the symposium is to examine questions related to minority language names using various different approaches, as well as from a cross-disciplinary viewpoint. Presentations may deal with all types of name categories in onomastics, such as, e.g. minority language place names, personal names, administrative names, animal, business and artefact names.
The symposium has as its topic, both the oral and written contexts of minority language names, and the thematic of the presentations will therefore include all the various different aspects of minority language
  • names in oral use in all the various linguistic and cultural environments;
  • names in linguistic contact in bi- or multilingual environments;      
  • names and identity;
  • names in written and official contexts;
  • names in linguistic landscapes;
  • names in the context of legal protection and name policy.

Webinar "My Italian Surname Study" August 21, 2018

One-Name Study

2018 Webinar Series – No 9

My Italian One-Name Study
with Michael Cassara and Julie Goucher


Benvenuto! This is the ninth webinar in the Guild’s 2018 ten-part webinar series. My Italian One-Name Study will focus on how two of our Guild members approach working on a foreign one-name study. In this case, we are traveling to Italy!
Is the surname that you want to research and make your one-name study a “foreign” one? Perhaps you don’t speak the language or you wonder how you will handle translations, foreign record offices and websites, or putting your study together for a world-wide audience. This month Michael Cassara and Julie Goucher will explain how they each do Italian surname research and work on  their Italian one-name studies.
Perhaps your surname of interest is not Italian – no worries! You can apply their tips and suggestions to your own “foreign” one-name study. So wherever your surname originated and wherever it has traveled to, there is something for everyone to learn from My Italian One-Name Study.
Let’s meet the presenters

Michael Cassara is a professional genealogist and lecturer, based in New York City, with specialties in Italian/Sicilian genealogical research and genealogical technology. He holds a Certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University and serves on the board of the Italian Genealogical Group.
As a speaker, he has given multiple talks at RootsTech, the world’s largest family history conference, as well as to societies nationwide. In October, 2018, he will speak at the Association of Professional Genealogists’ Professional Management Conference in Kansas City, MO, and he’ll be speaking once again at RootsTech in February, 2019.
Michael blogs about his research and genealogy topics at DigiRoots.net and can be found on social media at @DigiRoots and @MichaelCassara.

Julie Goucher has been researching her family history since the late 1980’s and has always been a history lover. A change in career path from the pharmacy industry had Julie returning to education and she undertook an Honours degree in history. Over the last decade or so Julie has focused more on the historical and genealogical aspects. Julie is half Sicilian and half English and has two one-name studies representing surnames from her parents. The Orlando study was registered with the Guild of One-Name Studies in 2002 and the Butcher study in 2016, although it had been a quiet work in progress for more than a decade.
Julie, a writer and presenter, is a Trustee for the Guild of One-Name Studies and is the Tutor for the Introduction to One-Name Studies course offered by Pharos Tutors.
Please join us on Tuesday, August 21st at 7:00 pm British Summer Time (once you register at the GoToWebinar platform, the correct time should show up in your confirmation – based on the local time shown your computer/tablet/mobile – however you have registered). A registration link is provided here My Italian One-Name Study as well as over at the right-hand side of this page (why not sign up for the two remaining webinars in this series while you are at it!). We look forward to seeing you on August 21st.

Expert on British surnames Dr George Redmonds of Lepton has died

Examiner byRobert Sutcliffe


He had a wonderful gift for languages and study says former Wakefield MP David Hinchliffe


An internationally recognised historian who specialised in the origin of surnames and place names has died aged 82.
Dr George Redmonds, of Lepton, died in Huddersfield Royal Infirmary on Friday, August 10. The funeral service will be held at St John’s Church, Lepton, on Wednesday, August 29, at 2pm.
He was born in Bradford, and taught for several years at Huddersfield New College and gave up his secure job as a senior lecturer at the former Huddersfield Polytechnic to become a freelance historian in 1974, earning a living through his local history publications.
His widow, Ann-marie, nee Burke, recalls them determining at the time that if they could earn £40 a week they would manage and she helped the family income through a pottery shop. The couple met at a jazz club in Northumberland Street in October 1962 and got married at LindleyMethodist Church, on 27 July 1963.
They went on to have three children and two grandchildren. Ann-marie said: “We know that he is well-known in the academic world, but we knew him as a wonderful husband, dad and grandad and however much he is missed by others, we will miss him more.”
George studied at Birmingham University before teaching modern languages in London, Nairobi, West Germany, (as was), and his native Yorkshire. He was awarded a PhD at Leicester University in 1970 for his research into Yorkshire surnames , and in 1973 his work was published as Volume 1 of the English Surnames Series.
David Hinchliffe, who was MP for Wakefield between 1987 and 2005, said: “Dr Redmonds’ family and place name work was based on the apparently simple proposition that the only way to find real meaning and understanding was to look at their very earliest written appearances. “His language skills enabled him to master the complexities of medieval Latin to remarkable effect, from which came significant findings on the origins of family names.
“Along with his good friend, Dr David Hey, Prof Stanley Ellis and others, George Redmonds was arguably one of the scholars who, in the late 20th century, helped validate the study of Yorkshire’s local history as a serious and important activity. “He lectured extensively to local history classes and societies and family historians, travelling to Australia, New Zealand and the USA to speak on the origins of English surnames. He enjoyed showing visitors to this country from abroad the locations from where their surnames came.
“Along with other local historians, Cyril Pearce and Jennifer Stead, he helped to produce many editions of the journal Old West Riding which ran from 1981-1995. It was seen as a vehicle for the growing number of amateur historians to publish their work.
“In 2001 he presented the BBC Radio 4 Series Surnames Genes and Genealogy.
“His many published works included Surnames and Genealogy: a New Approach (1997), Names and History (2004), Christian Names in Local and Family History (2004) and, along with Turi King and David Hey, Surnames, DNA and Family History (2011). “In 2015, Dr Redmonds produced his extensive Dictionary Of Yorkshire Surnames with thousands of entries, giving the names’ linguistic meanings, geographic origins and distribution.

“Throughout his many years researching records, often from the medieval period, he kept meticulous notes of what he found, which enabled him also to produce The Vocabulary of Coal Mining In Yorkshire, 1250-1850 in 2016 and A Vocabulary of Wood, Wood Workers and Wood Management in Yorkshire last year. His Yorkshire Historic Dictionary is also due to be published in the near future.
“Away from his research work, Dr Redmonds and his wife were staunch supporters of the Huddersfield Giants rugby league team.”

Lecture "The relationship between Welsh and English place names in Cardiff"

link

.....

Dr Dylan Foster Evans is delivering the Hedley Gibbard Memorial Lecture, organised by Cymdeithas Cyfieithwyr Cymru - the association of Welsh translators and interpreters.
Translation, adaptation and displacement: The relationship between Welsh and English place names in Cardiff takes place in the Societies 1 tent from 13:00 to 13:45 on Thursday 9 August 2018.
“Some historical Welsh names, such as Y Mynydd Bychan (the Heath), were more or less forgotten, so much so that in the mid-20th century a new Welsh name was created for the area by translating Heath as Y Waun,” said Dr Evans.
“Later on, the original name came back into use, gradually replacing Y Waun. But it’s not to everyone’s taste.”
One recent development is Welsh names being created for places such as Grangetown that do not have historic Welsh names. The late historian Dr John Davies coined the name Trelluest, which is now gaining popularity.
“Although without official status, such names are increasingly evident online and on social media,” said Dr Foster Evans.
“And with new suburbs being built as we speak, the relationship between the two languages in place names is more important than ever.”
This year’s Eisteddfod takes place in Cardiff from 3-11 August.
