The Rendering of Geographical Names

M. Aurousseau,

About this book

First published in 1957, The Rendering of Geographical Names is a clearly presented survey of the little-known borderland between linguistics and geography. Works on toponomy, that is, on the study of place-names in particular countries, are numerous; but works on geographical names, that is, on the names of places and of geographical features used in foreign languages, are rare. But if foreign news is to be reported in English newspapers or discussed in English books; if foreign books are to be catalogued in English libraries; or if foreign countries are to be shown on British maps and in British atlases, the need for rational ways of rendering the names of parts of the world and of places abroad is immediate. And many such names are written abroad in unfamiliar alphabets and other scripts. This is an important historical reference book for students or geography.
