What is it about?

The volume focuses on recent trends within socio-onomastics, interactional onomastics, contact onomastics, folk onomastics, and linguistic landscape studies. The volume is an introduction to these fields - with the introductory chapter giving an overview of, and an update on, recent onomastic study - and in addition offers detailed in-depth analyses of place names, personal names, and commercial names from different perspectives: historically, as well as from the point of view of the impact of globalization and glocalization.

Why is it important?

The volume seeks to establish socio-onomastics as a field of linguistic inquiry not only within sociolinguistics, but also, within pragmatics.
