Meeting Description:
Names in motion.
Adaptation processes of person and place names in areal, diachronic, and social fields of tension
Conference, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Namenforschung
As proper names refer directly to individual objects, they crucially depend on stable, fixed relationships between form and referent. However, such fixed references open up fields of tension when contexts change for people who bear and use the names. Changing contexts may prompt names to be formally adapted, meaning that – at least temporarily – names may lead a double life. The aim of this conference is to identify factors that motivate, condition, and constrain adaptation processes of person and place names to changing or varying circumstances from a synchronic or diachronic perspective.
