The editors of the journal Acta onomastica invite researchers to contribute to a thematic issue scheduled to come out at the beginning of 2025 (Vol. 66) dedicated to dialectal name forms in official geographical names (toponyms, including urbanonyms). We welcome research in diachronic as well as synchronic perspective, interdisciplinary contributions from outside linguistics, as well as analyses from different parts of the world and diverse linguistic and ethnic contexts:

  • Dialectal name forms in standardized names and their regulation (legislation, language policies, institutional frameworks)
  • Dialectal name forms in urbanonyms, namely in the names of streets and other public spaces
  • Terminology – official/unofficial names, spoken names, popular names, dialectal and minority names
  • Competition of official and unofficial names in official and unofficial sources
  • Dialectal name forms of geographical names in everyday use
  • Dialectal name forms of geographical names in lexicographic practice
  • The use of dialectal name forms of geographical names on maps
  • Dialectal name forms of geographical names in the official use by minority languages
  • Dialectal name forms of geographical names as expressions of identity and cultural heritage
