Language use and spatial identity research are topics of interest in linguistics, geography, anthropology, ethnology, sociology, psychology, and philosophy. Accordingly, there are numerous related ...terms that originated in one discipline but are also used in other disciplines, making them multi-disciplinary. Research on terminology in the field of language use has shown great diversity (linguistic geography, areal or spatial linguistics, linguistic geography, the geography of language, geolinguistics). The paper analyzes and defines the aforementioned concepts, their connection with individual disciplines, and discusses individual terminological shortcomings. The aim of this paper is to review the field of research regarding the use of language and spatial identity in a broader sense, and especially the position of and approaches to research within historical geography. The paper analyzes a sample of 124 articles (published mainly in Croatian and English) according to author(s), research objective, methodology, and period of publication. Based on this, three characteristic periods during which research developed and changed have been distinguished.
Karta Hrvatske Stjepana Glavača iz 1673. ove godine obilježava 350. obljetnicu svog izdavanja, stoga je upravo ovo pravi trenutak u kojem je važno ne samo podsjetiti javnost na prvu kartu Hrvatske ...koju je izrazito kvalitetno prvi put izradio jedan hrvatski kartograf nego i sveobuhvatno donijeti trenutne dosege znanja o njoj, te svakako korpusu postojećega znanja pridonijeti novim spoznajama. Dugo vremena o Glavačevoj se karti znalo samo ono što je pisalo u njezinu naslovu i iscrpnoj Posveti. Jedan od razloga mogao je biti taj što nije bila dostupna javnosti jer se tijekom ovih 350 godina očuvao samo jedan njezin primjerak. Unatoč tomu, radova je u posljednjih tridesetak godina više. U ovom radu prikazani su dosadašnji dosezi istraživanja različitih autora (svećenika, geodeta, geografa, povjesničara kartografa) koji su se bavili Glavačevom kartom, ali naglasak je bio na prikazu novoga sloja spoznaja prvenstveno vezanoga uz toponime, geografski sadržaj karte i historijskogeografski kontekst njezina nastanka. Temeljitim istraživanjem karte provedena je detaljna analiza toponima, i to na način da su prvo klasificirani prema kategorijama (u oronime, hidronime, pedonime i oikonime), a potom su im pridodana današnja značenja. Njihova analiza, osim toponimske raznolikosti, pokazala je, ovisno o njihovoj kategorizaciji, razmještaj geografskih i društvenih objekata u prostoru, te njihovo značenje i kontekst. Komparativno istraživanje toponima na Glavačevoj karti i Mercatorovoj karti iz 1630. godine (vjerojatno jedna od karata na koju se Glavač u Posveti poziva), pokazalo je kolika je prednost kad kartu izrađuje autor dobro upoznat s prostorom jer ga prikazuje točnije i s puno više geografskih objekata. Istraživanje je pokazalo i na koji su način česti osmanski prodori u to doba utjecali na raspored naseljenosti te onovremene migracijske tokove. Na tom području važan je Glavačev prikaz vlaških naselja koja su, premda u historiografskim izvorima često spominjana, prvi put na karti prikazana. Istraživanje je izdvojilo i ta područja i objasnilo njihov položaj.
This year marks the 350th anniversary of the publication of the map of Croatia by Stjepan Glavač from 1673, so this is the right moment when it is important not only to remind the public of the first map of Croatia that was created by a Croatian cartographer (and was of exceptional quality), but also to present what is currently known about it and make a new contribution to this body of knowledge. For a long time, the information known about Glavač’s map was derived from what is written in its title and exhaustive Dedication. One of the reasons for this could be the fact that it was not available to the public because only one copy of it has been preserved during these 350 years. Despite this, numerous works about it have been published over the last 30 years. This article covers the research achievements of various authors who dealt with Glavač’s map (priests, surveyors, geographers, historians), but the emphasis is on presenting a new layer of knowledge primarily related to toponyms, the map’s geographic content, and the historical-geographical context of its origin. A detailed analysis of toponyms was carried out through research of the map, in such way that toponyms were first classified according to category (oronyms, hydronyms, pedonyms, and oikonyms), and then their present-day meanings were added. In addition to toponymic diversity, the analysis of the meanings of toponyms and geographical features showed, depending on their categorisation, the distribution of geographical and social features in space, whose further analysis could then add meaning and context. A comparative study of the toponyms on Glavač’s map and Mercator’s map from 1630 (to which Glavač probably refers in the Dedication) showed how much of an advantage it is when a map is made by an author who is well-acquainted with the area he is depicting, because he shows it more accurately and with many more geographical features. The research also showed how the frequent Ottoman incursions affected the distribution of the population and migration flows at the time. In this area, Glavač’s depiction of Vlach settlements is important because, although often mentioned in historiographical sources, they were now being shown on a map for the first time. The research singled out these areas and explained their positions.
Istraživanja uporabe jezika i prostornoga identiteta te njihova međuodnosa omogućuju da se kao objekti proučavanja pojavljuju u lingvistici, geografiji, antropologiji, etnologiji, sociologiji, ...psihologiji i filozofiji. Sukladno tomu, javljaju se brojni termini koji su ishodišno nastali u jednoj disciplini, ali se zbog multidisciplinarnosti pojma rabe i u drugim disciplinama. Istraživanja terminologije na području uporabe jezika pokazale su veliku raznolikost (lingvistička geografija, arealna ili spacijalna lingvistika, geografska lingvistika, jezična geografija, geografija jezikâ, geolingvistika). U radu se analiziraju i definiraju navedeni pojmovi, njihova poveznica s pojedinim disciplinama te raspravljaju pojedini terminološki nedostatci. Cilj je istraživanja pregled područja istraživanja uporabe jezika i prostornoga identiteta u širem smislu te posebno položaj i pristupi istraživanju u historijskoj geografiji. Rad analizira uzorak od 124 članka (objavljena uglavnom na hrvatskom i engleskom jeziku) prema autorima, objektu istraživanja, metodologiji rada i razdoblju objavljivanja na temelju čega se izdvajaju tri karakteristična razdoblja tijekom kojih su se istraživanja razvijala i mijenjala.

Od 1678. dvorac Bogenšperk kulturno je središte u kojem je Valvasor uredio bogatu knjižnicu, osnovao radionicu i tiskaru za bakrorez, okupio više majstora (slikara i bakrorezaca) iz Nizozemske i ...Njemačke te književnike (među njima i Pavla Rittera Vitezovića) koji su surađivali na izradi kapitalne četverosveščane enciklopedije Slava Vojvodine Kranjske, objavljene 1689. U članku se iznose okolnosti pod kojima je enciklopedija nastala, a podastrti su i podatci koji pokazuju kako je ta enciklopedija i danas važan izvor za geografska, historijska i etnografska istraživanja prostora Vojvodine Kranjske. Ipak, posebna pozornost posvećena je samo jednom dijelu Vojvodine Kranjske – području Istre i Liburnije, koje su i danas dio Republike Hrvatske.
