Die Toponomastik weist eine traditionsreiche Geschichte auf, hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten jedoch eine Marginalisierung innerhalb der germanistischen Sprachwissenschaft erfahren. Gleichzeitig spielen Toponyme in zahlreichen akademischen Nachbardisziplinen eine wichtige Rolle, ohne dass dies die sprachwissenschaftliche Toponomastik bislang maßgeblich revitalisiert hätte. Die Irritation über diese erstaunliche Diskrepanz bildete den Ausgangspunkt für diesen Sammelband, der ausgewählte Beiträge der gleichnamigen Mainzer Namentagung des Jahres 2017 versammelt. Er liefert zahlreiche Antworten auf Fragen wie: Welche Zukunft kann und soll diese Forschungsrichtung haben? Lassen sich für die toponomastische Forschung neue Gegenstände, Fragestellungen, Perspektiven und Methoden identifizieren, welche die etablierten Ansätze sinnvoll ergänzen? Gibt es Schnittstellen zu Nachbardisziplinen, über die weiterführende Forschungsvorhaben angestoßen werden können? Wie lassen sich mögliche toponomastische Innovationsfelder mit traditionellen Fragestellungen gewinnbringend integrieren? Toponomy has a long tradition but has been marginalised in the field of German linguistics in recent decades. This volume shows that toponyms provide great potential for new insights in a number of research fields, develops innovative research questions and methods, and sounds out the intersections between linguistic toponomy and relevant neighbouring disciplines.

The vast reaches of the information provided in this book have been drawn together to create a veritable cornucopia of answers to the old question of how names originated. In this linguistically thought-provoking book, readers will be guided through the origins of animal names and toponyms, from the coastline of South Africa to the northern border of Namibia, and from the mighty elephant to the humble grasshopper.
