Naming in the public sphere of Stavropol city: sacred and profane

Abstract

The reality of confraternities is interesting to investigate because of the intersection between the sacred and the profane, which marks an important moment of devotional practice and community life between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Laity finds its roots in civil society and represents a privileged context of community interaction in which devotional and charitable purposes are intertwined with cultural activities. My research aims to investigate the register of a fraternity active in the 16 th century in Chieri (Turin) from the viewpoint of onomastics. The names of the confrères allow to reconstruct, on the one hand, the adherence to medieval cultural tradition and, on the other, the trends that led to the Council of Trent, to the imposition of saints' names on baptized children. The purpose of my work is, therefore, to account for the two components, sacred and profane, which can be found in the first names of the members of this fraternity.

Sport in the urban landscape of Zagreb and Split

“…They are defined as names of all types of organizations, societies, firms, companies, political parties, etc. (Podol'skaja, 1988(Podol'skaja, , as cited in Šakaja, 2003Kryukova, 2012;Akzhigitova and Zharkynbekova, 2014;Smirnova, 2017). According to the International Council of Onomastic Sciences, the term ergonym has a narrower meaning, and refers to the names of products or brands (ICOS, 2011).…”

“…As with urban toponyms, despite representing an informal naming process, ergonyms are still an important part of the urban landscape. Their functions are numerous: they inform, advertise, identify, persuade (Smirnova, 2017), and therefore they create a richer overall city linguistic landscape, together with hodonyms.…”

“…Definiraju se kao imena svih vrsta organizacija, društava, poduzeća, tvrtki, političkih stranaka itd. (Podol'skaja, 1988(Podol'skaja, prema Šakaja, 2003Kryukova, 2012;Akzhigitova i Zharkynbekova, 2014;Smirnova, 2017). Nešto uže od toga, prema Međunarodnom vijeću za onomastičke znanosti, ergonimi se odnose na imena proizvoda ili robnih marki (ICOS, 2011).…”

“…Kao i gradski toponimi, iako predstavljaju neformalna imenovanja, ergonimi su također važan dio urbanoga pejzaža. Funkcije ergonima su brojne: identificiraju, informiraju, reklamiraju, nagovaraju/uvjeravaju (Smirnova, 2017), stoga zajedno s hodonimima čine bogatiju sliku gradskoga jezičnog pejzaža.…”

Entre crematónimos y topónimos: los nombres de comercios

“…El empleo de nombres de marca ha sido parte de la economía diaria desde antiguo, desde las señales en vasijas de barro o ganado hasta la explosión de los procedimientos mercadotécnicos a principios del XX, apoyados en un desarrollo industrial y de los transportes que hizo que se pudieran distribuir productos en áreas extensas en un periodo breve (Grandinetti 2008). En la actualidad no podemos imaginar una marca sin nombre, anónima (Smirnova 2017); no olvidemos que ponemos nombre a los objetos que nos importan, que poseen valor para nosotros (Sjöblom et al 2013).…”
