THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF TOPONYMIC SYSTEM RESEARCH
Keywords:
Anthropology, distribution, toponymic systemAbstract
The study of toponyms, or place names, is an important aspect of linguistics and cultural geography, reflecting both the historical and social context of a region. This paper examines the theoretical foundations of toponymic system research, focusing on the methods, approaches, and theoretical frameworks used to analyze place names. We discuss the relationship between toponyms and the socio-political, linguistic, and cultural environments in which they evolve. Additionally, the paper outlines key concepts such as the structural organization of toponymic systems and the role of language in the representation of geographical realities.
