Anliegen des Beitrags ist eine zusammenfassende Betrachtung des Standes der Erforschung von Orts-, Flur-, Gewässer- und Personennamen im Osten Deutschlands, genauer auf dem Gebiet der ehemaligen DDR. ...– Um den Stand der Arbeiten wie auch das noch zu Leistende auf einen Blick sichtbar zu machen, wurden 4 Karten erarbeitet, die sich methodisch an den Vorkarten im „Atlas altsorbischer Ortsnamentypen" orientieren.
This article presents a comprehensive exploration of Vietnamese surnames, with a specific focus on those attributed to the Kinh people, from an onomastic perspective. Beginning with a broad overview ...of general studies on Vietnamese names, the paper introduces the prevailing name structure, which follows the format Surname + (Middle name) + Given name. The study then delves into a careful examination of Vietnamese surnames, addressing key facets such as their origin, distinctive characteristics, quantity, and distribution. Notably, the article emphasizes the widespread usage of the Nguyễn surname, offering arguments and insights into its prevalence. Furthermore, the paper discusses the intricate nature of the meanings associated with Vietnamese surnames and highlights the legal considerations surrounding them. By combining historical context with cultural significance, the article aims to provide valuable insights into the complexities inherent in Vietnamese surnames. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the historical roots and cultural significance of Kinh group surnames within the broader context of Vietnamese onomastics.
The present article explores the corpus of personal names as a system of “disembodied” anthroponyms of the Christian culture retaining all the connotations and associations they acquired within the ...linguistic and cultural system they belong to. Intrinsic linkages found between these names are verified through establishing systemic correlations between their derivatives. The latter are further classified, based on the type of the correlation between their elements, exemplified by Russian and French dialects’ material. All of the correlation mechanisms fall into two main groups: 1) linguistic correlations and 2) extralinguistic correlations. Linguistic correlations proceed from the language itself and include a) pairs of derivatives from the male and female variants of the same name, b) pairs created by the phonetic attraction (rhyme, alliteration, attraction to a common noun, and so on), c) consistent syntactic patterns with limited combinatory potential of the derivatives. Extralinguistic correlations are driven by interactions of the names or thus-named characters in the extralinguistic reality (culture, rituals, everyday life, and so on). There are two types of these correlations identified: a) calendar ones (the chronological proximity of the days dedicated to saints may provide for the approximation of their names derivatives) and b) text-based correlations. Hereby, a precedent text can be likewise represented by a specific work of literature or by a semiotically heterogeneous unity of basic texts (excerpts from the Holy Scripture, folklore texts, and so on), that exists within a culture and interacts with the rest of its elements.
This study is concerned with the communicative acts and rhetorical patterns analysis of Gbari Personal Names, henceforth GPN, of the Gbari of North Central Nigeria. Using a small-sized corpus of one ...hundred (100) GPNs, the study deploys a concatenated framework which adapts and tweaks elements mainly from Austin’s (1962) Speech Act Theory and Bach and Harnish’s (1979) Mutual Contextual Belief; in order to combine communicative and rhetorical insights on the analysis of GPNs. Data collection consists of drawing a sample from the population of the study using the quasi-formal interview method to obtain information from the respondents from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja-Nigeria which comprises of three out of the five Area Councils where the Gbari are in the majority namely: (1) Gwagwalada, (2) Kwali and (3) Kuje. Study findings indicates that GPN system is now highly productive. New GPNs which have never been produced can be constructed especially that on the basis of current theophoric Gbari personal names, many Gbari Christians can (re)construct corresponding names either by: a recourse to the system of affixation such as Sokwo-gaa+ She-kwo-nu-che-sayi = Sokwo-nu-che-sayi/Only God gives a testimony. This name, as yet probably not an actual Gbari personal name, like many variations of personal names, are potential Gbari personal names. Also, morpho-syntactic repositioning or shifting of the subject NP (She-kwo) of many Gbari sentence names to either the middle or final positions and/or its replacement with other grammatical classes or even NPs are possible; hence many more GPNs could be generated. Consequently, study indicates there is both a resurgence as well as a decline of GPN; a resurgence due principally to Gbagyi Christians who nearly completely bear all names Gbagyi-personal as well surnames while for Gbagyi Muslims, there is an almost complete obliteration of Gbagyi names.
Relying on the theory of representative bureaucracy—specifically, the notion of symbolic representation—this article examines whether varying the number of female public officials overseeing a local ...recycling program influences citizens' (especially women's) willingness to cooperate with the government by recycling, thus coproducing important policy outcomes. Using a survey experiment in which the first names of public officials are manipulated, the authors find a clear pattern of increasing willingness on the part of women to coproduce when female names are more represented in the agency responsible for recycling, particularly with respect to the more difficult task of composting food waste. Overall, men in the experiment were less willing to coproduce across all measures and less responsive to the gender balance of names. These findings have important implications for the theory of representative bureaucracy and for efforts to promote the coproduction of public services.
El artículo hace un repaso de las novedades de estos últimos 25 años en los estudios epigráficos y onomásticos del área occidental hispana. El paso del tiempo ha permitido ayudar a caracterizar ...geográficamente cada una de las tres áreas lingüísticas en que se divide la región: la propiamente lusitana (o lusitano-galaica), la celtibérica y la del SO.
This paper discusses the phonological processes embedded in some nativised Arabic personal names in Atebubu, in the Bono East Region of Ghana. The study shows that the main phonological processes ...entrenched in the nativisation process include segment deletion, vowel insertion, prothesis, substitution, consonant deletion, hypocorism, and free variation. These phonological processes are employed as a mitigation strategy to conform to the phonotactics of Akan. Moreover, the study shows that the Bono speakers usually substitute the consonants ʃ, z, q, d͡ʑ with ɕ, s, k, d͡ʒ, respectively. Data for the study was gathered from both primary and secondary sources.

Personal names can be specified as male or female in almost all languages of the world. Languages differ, however, whether the sex of the referent is lexical knowledge or overtly coded in the form of ...the name. Symmetrical systems – with overt marking on both male and female names – can be distinguished from asymmetrical ones, of which one subtype, overt coding of female names, is by far the most frequent. In addition, the morpho-syntactic system of encoding the sex of the referent can be either limited to personal names or use morphological material also employed on other types of nominals. This paper investigates the morpho-syntactic means used for the classification of personal names in the languages of the world as well as the integration of personal names into classificatory systems used for common nouns, namely gender and classifiers.
•The collective information of names, e.g. token frequency, can improve matching.•To find possible candidates (blocking), considering name similarity is enough.•To match candidates, names ...dissimilarities should be considered besides similarities.•Corresponding personal part of names (e.g. first names) should be matched together.•Similar names can assist to parse names without any gold standard tags.
Having a unique personal identifier is a prerequisite to run person-centric analytical queries and data mining tasks, such as fraud detection, expert finding, and credit scoring. Personal names are the most commonly used identifier of individuals in datasets; however, the name of a person may not be unique across the dataset's records, especially where data are integrated from various sources. Intelligent systems utilize name matching methods to identify different name representations of persons. The performance of previous name matching methods is inadequate since they solely consider name similarities and ignore dissimilarities. Unavailability of Part of Name (PON, e.g., first name and last name) is an important limitation of dissimilarity consideration. To address this issue, this paper proposes an unsupervised personal name matching framework, namely Swash. This framework can model the information gatherable from a name dataset into a layered Heterogeneous Information Network, which facilitates control over the learning process. Swash predicts PON tags using a self-trainable algorithm and then collectively clusters the name vertices on the network. Evaluations on three public bibliographic datasets (i.e., CiteSeer, ArXiv, and DBLP) recognize the significance of the proposed framework. The results showed that Swash outperformed F1 of the state-of-the-art method up to 38%.
