Reviews

'This book brings together ideas that conceptualise the practices of place naming. Grounded in a multidisciplinary fashion - from sociolinguistics to geography - this volume is innovative as it examines place names according to their relations with histories, cultures, and societies in order to understand their historical and linguistic origins as well as the role they play in people's everyday lives.' Remus Cretan, West University of Timisoara, Romania
