These papers present current thinking on how the critical turn in social sciences is manifested in toponymic research, not only locally but also internationally. As such it includes research on place names from South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Austria, Slovenia, Central America and even the former Czechoslovakia. The contributions show that the etymology of place names are never purely linguistic ? social, political, commercial and other factors influence the giving, use and adaptations of these linguistic and cultural artefacts. Furthermore, given their high symbolic content, place names also serve as political and commercial currency. Place names are therefore important symbolic markers in preserving or changing cultural identities, and in marking or facilitating socio-political changes and relations. Critical Toponymy showcases the many ways in which the representational potential of place names can be deployed in different contexts. Scholars as well as practitioners in toponymy and sociolinguistics will find this an illuminating read. 517 $aCritical toponomy 606 $aSociolinguistics$2bicssc 606 $aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography$2bicssc 610 $aAustria 610 $aCentral America 610 $aNamibia 610 $aPlace names 610 $aSlovenia 610 $aSouth Africa 610 $aZimbabwe 610 $apolitical 610 $ahistorical and commercial landscapes 610 $asocio-political changes 610 $aplace names 610 $apolitical aspects 610 $aterritory 610 $aCzechoslovakia 610 $aGeorg Schuppener 610 $aGeographical names standardisation 610 $aname-planning 610 $aTheodorus du Plessis 610 $acultural domination 610 $atoponym 610 $aSteyn Khesani Madlome 610 $amissionary societies 610 $aCornelia Geldenhuys 610 $aHerero place names 610 $aLucie A.
