Abstract
In Finland, a detailed, regularly updated and complex searchable database of exonyms has been available on the website of the Institute for the Languages of Finland since 2018. The database, compiled through the collaboration of geographers and linguists, currently has about three and a half thousand entries and contains a fair number of Finnish geographical names for locations outside of Finland, or names of Finnish origin used outside of Finland. The latter should be noted because the dictionary also includes the names from areas of neighbouring countries where Finnish is spoken. The database contains a wealth of information regarding the different names for geographical objects (even beyond names used in the official language of a given place). Thus it presents itself as an outstanding source of data for those who do not speak Finnish. The Finnish exonym database is also an excellent model for researchers in other countries to follow.
期刊介绍:
Névtani Értesítő, founded in 1979, is a peer-reviewed journal of Hungarian onomastics. It is co-published by the Institute of Hungarian Linguistics and Finno-Ugric Studies of Eötvös Loránd University and the Society of Hungarian Linguistics. In the journal, the section “Articles” releases new research results; the section “Onomastics and Events” reports on current Hungarian and international works and professional events; the sections “Book Reviews” and “Reviews on Periodicals” review the latest publications of Hungarian and foreign specialized literature. The authors of the articles published in the journal are representatives of various fields of sciences, mostly researchers of Linguistics and of the related branches of Humanities and Social Sciences from Hungary and the neighbouring countries. Submitted papers go through a blind double peer-reviewing process. The journal Névtani Értesítő keeps up relations with several international onomastic journals, many of which regularly review its issues. The issues of the journal Névtani Értesítő are published in Hungarian, with English lists of contents and abstracts.
