"Well before the innovation of maps, gazetteers served as the main geographic referencing system for hundreds of years. Consisting of a specialized index of place names, gazetteers traditionally linked descriptive elements with topographic features and coordinates. Placing Names is inspired by that tradition of discursive place-making and by contemporary approaches to digital data management that have revived the gazetteer and guided its development in recent decades. Adopted by researchers in the Digital Humanities and Spatial Sciences, gazetteers provide a way to model the kind of complex cultural, vernacular, and perspectival ideas of place that can be located in texts and expanded into an interconnected framework of naming history. This volume brings together leading and emergent scholars to examine the history of the gazetteer, its important role in geographic information science, and its use to further the reach and impact of spatial reasoning into the digital age"--

Dit woordenboek beschrijft de namen van de vloeiende waters in heel Vlaanderen. In dit eerste deel komen de namen aan bod in de provincies Antwerpen, Limburg en Vlaams-Brabant en in het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest. In het tweede boekdeel worden de beide Vlaanderen hydronymisch onderzocht. Het woordenboek biedt een wetenschappelijk verantwoorde taalkundige verklaring van de Vlaamse waternamen, met opgave van de oudste vermeldingen en de betrouwbare literatuur. Ongeveer 8500 waterlopen passeren de revue en houden de herinnering aan de rijkdom van onze waternamen levendig. Voor de geïnteresseerde leek een vlot leesbaar boek, voor de wetenschappelijke onderzoeker een onontbeerlijk werkinstrument! Krachtens de wet van 7 mei 1877 werd de 'Atlas der Waterlopen' voor elke Belgische gemeente opgesteld. Hieruit namen de samenstellers alle waternamen op voor de inventarisering en de lokalisering. Voor de beschrijving van de recente toestand maakten ze gebruik van de Vlaamse Hydrografische Atlas (VHA), versie 2014. De auteurs raadpleegden eveneens licentiaatsverhandelingen, doctorale proefschriften, monografieen over gemeenten, en historisch cartografisch materiaal. Ter illustratie staan in het boek kaarten met de verspreiding van grondwoorden en naamtypes, evenals foto's van waterlopen uit het behandelde gebied. Het alfabetische register van gemeentenamen maakt het uitgebreide materiaal vlot toegankelijk. Aan het eerste deel werkten mee: Paul Kempeneers, Karel Leenders, Vic Mennen en Bram Vannieuwenhuyze, allen leden van de Vlaamde afdeling van de Koninklijke Commissie voor Toponymie en Dialectologie.

The monograph ('Celtic Legacy in the Toponymy of South-Eastern Alps') offers a close examination of the South-Western Alpine region for Celtic (specifically Gaulish) linguistic remains in the onomastic landscape. Supported by a rigorous methodological apparatus, the investigation sets out to determine which ancient and contemporary geographical names can securely be pronounced to be etymologically Gaulish, focusing on the historical phonology, morphology, word formation, lexis, the geographical distribution of the relevant place-names, and the specific nature of their integration into the pre-existing toponymic landscape. The monograph is a decisive step forward in the recognition of the distributional character of Celtic linguistic remains in the Celtic East. In the wide time-span and the multifarious nature of the often fragmentary and sensitive linguistic material that it is faced with, this work contributes equally importantly to the field of comparative Celtic and Indo-European linguistics (especially with concern to the paleolinguistic remains in the region), as it does to Slovene onomastic studies and the problem of the constitution of early Slavic and early Romance phonological make-up and the interaction between the two. Monografija je prva sistematična obravnava keltske zemljepisnolastnoimenske dediščine na jugovzhodnem alpskem prostoru. Z upoštevanjem strogih metodoloških načel, zasnovanih izrecno za preučevanje občutljivega jezikovnega gradiva, raziskava poskuša eksaktno odgovoriti na vprašanje, katera antična in sodobna zemljepisna lastna imena je mogoče v etimološkem smislu z večjo ali manjšo gotovostjo opredeliti kot izvorno galska. Ker je preučevano jezikovno gradivo vpeto v širok časovni okvir, po naravi pa je praviloma fragmentarno in kot takšno zahteva strukturirano in vsestransko etimološko obravnavo, delo s svojimi metodološkimi prijemi in spoznanji v enaki meri pomembno prispeva k zgodovinski slovnici keltskih jezikov, primerjalnemu jezikoslovju indoevropskih jezikov (zlasti z ozirom na problematiko onomastičnih oz. fragmentarno izpričanih jezikovnih sistemov), slovenskim, splošneje slovanskim in romanskim imenoslovnim študijam ter slovanskemu in romanskemu zgodovinskemu glasoslovju ter interakciji med obema jezikovnima sistemoma.
