Description

Explore the complex relationship between geography and identity with this academic study. This book examines how place names function in multilingual and multi-ethnic environments, specifically looking at how they help form and maintain individual and group identities. By using Southern Carinthia in Austria and the Tesin/Cieszyn region in Czechia as primary case studies, the authors provide a detailed look at the power held by place names. The research uses a multi-methods approach, combining insights from anthropology, geography, sociolinguistics, and toponomastics to understand these linguistic landscapes. Readers will find a deep context regarding the social and political histories of these regions. The text also addresses current debates in the social sciences concerning the connection between place names, power, and identity. This work is a valuable resource for students and professionals interested in minority languages and the social dynamics of multilingual communities.
