Toponomastics in Great Britain (20th–21st Centuries): History and Main Directions of Research
Abstract
The paper offers a review of toponymic research in England and, partially, in other regions of the United Kingdom. The author analyzes the forms of organization of research communities, their activities and main scientific projects (notably, those of the English Place-Name Society), the development of British place-name studies in the 20th and 21st centuries. The author also considers publications dealing with general problems of toponymy, geographic names of foreign origin (above all, Scandinavian and Celtic) as well as with different classes of place-names.
