The monograph ('I live in Bukov Vrh ('village') below Bukov vrh ('hill')') contains eight different proposals for writing the initial in the non-first components of multi-word geographical proper names. The proposals were presented at the open conference ““Meeting of two commissions”“ in June 2019. The motives that triggered the discussion on spelling reform and the decision to consult with the general public before the final decision of the spelling commission are presented. A survey will be prepared, presenting the views of the debaters, presented in the present monograph. The views of the chapters in the central part of the monograph can be summarized in three groups: the first group advocates a more comprehensive reform, which is reflected in the technical solution of writing geographical names - ““all components of the name with a capital letter”“~the second group does not advocate technical reform at the outset, but focuses on clarifying the rules and abolishing the division into settlement and non-settlement names~the third group does not support any changes. Monografija prinaša osem utemeljitev različnih predlogov za pisanje začetnice v neprvih sestavinah večbesednih zemljepisnih lastnih imen, ki so bili predstavljeni na odprtem posvetu »Srečanje dveh komisij« (Pravopisne komisije pri SAZU in ZRC SAZU in Komisije za standardizacijo zemljepisnih imen Vlade Republike Slovenije) junija 2019. Uvodoma je orisano delovanje obeh komisij, ob tem so predstavljeni vzgibi, ki so sprožili razpravo o pravopisni reformi, predstavljena je tudi odločitev, da se bo pred končno odločitvijo pravopisne komisije, ki se ob prenovi pravopisnih pravil soočila s ponovno obujenim predlogom »vse z veliko začetnico«, ta posvetovala s širšo javnostjo. Pripravljena bo anketa, ki bo predstavila stališča razpravljalcev, predstavljena v pričujoči monografiji. Stališča prispevkov v osrednjem delu lahko strnimo v tri skupine: prva skupina zagovarja celovitejšo reformo, ki se zrcali v tehnični rešitvi zapisovanja zemljepisnih imen~druga skupina v izhodišču ne zagovarja tehnične reforme, ampak se osredotoča na ponatančenje pravil ter ukinitev delitve na naselbinska in nenaselbinska imena~tretja skupina ne podpira nobene spremembe.

This volume (‘A List of Slovenian Exonyms’) is a contribution to fostering greater consistency in the use of Slovenian exonyms, or geographical names adapted to Slovenian. It provides material for their standardization and at the same time ensures that this important aspect of Slovenian will not to sink into oblivion. The volume has three parts. Part one contains theoretical and methodological reflections on exonyms, with an emphasis on explaining basic concepts, the use of exonyms, gathering and selecting them to design a collection of exonyms, and presentation of an analysis of their frequency. It concludes with two chapters that serve as links to the other two parts of the volume. The first presents the format of the table in detail. This table, with a list of the most frequently used exonyms (3,818), comprises the second part of the book and is supplemented by a table with a list of over 350 of the most established alternative exonyms. The third part of the volume contains color maps containing exonyms from the table in part two, arranged by part of the world and divided according to semantic type of exonym. Znanstvena monografija je prispevek k nadaljnjemu poenotenju rabe slovenskih eksonimov, podomačenih geografskih imen v slovenščini. Z njo smo pripravili gradivo za njihovo standardizacijo, obenem pa poskrbeli, da ta pomemben segment slovenskega jezika ne bo utonil v pozabo. Monografija je sestavljena iz treh delov. V prvem delu so teoretsko-metodološka razmišljanja o eksonimih, s poudarkom na razlagi temeljnih pojmov, rabi eksonimov, njihovem zajemu in izboru za zasnovo zbirke eksonimov ter predstavitev analize pogostnosti njihovega pojavljanja. Zaključita ga poglavji, ki sta nekakšna vezna člena k preostalima deloma monografije. V prvem od njiju so podrobneje predstavljene rubrike preglednice. Preglednico s seznamom najpogosteje uporabljenih eksonimov (okrog 3000), ki sestavlja drugi del knjige, dopolnjuje krajša preglednica s seznamom dobrih 350 najbolj uveljavljenih alternativnih eksonimov. V tretjem delu so barvni zemljevidi z vrisanimi eksonimi iz preglednice drugega dela, razporejeni po delih sveta in segmentirani glede na pomenski tip eksonimov.

This volume (‘Slovenian Country Names’) offers a detailed analysis of naming all independent countries and non-self-govering territories. Alongside the Slovenian short and full names of individual political territorial units, the genitive, locative, and adjectival forms of the short names, native short and full forms transliterated into the Roman alphabet (if applicable) or English and French official short and full names of individual territorial political communities, it also contains coded labels, an etymological explanation of the names, notes if needed, any alternative names, archaic names, or nicknames, and demonyms.The volume is organized into three sections. The first is a theoretical and methodological discussion of exonyms, and it also presents the reasons for selected name forms for independent countries and dependent territories. Certain names whose usage is not uniform are presented in greater detail. The second part, in tabular format, is a detailed presentation of the names of 198 independent countries and fifty-one major non-self-govering territories with a high degree of autonomy for which corresponding political decisions could lead to their independence at any time. The third section is cartographic and presents territorial political units on colored maps with borders. The volume will contribute to more correct and more uniform use of country names, and it will be a useful aid for both individuals and institutions dealing with this issue. Monografija razčlenjuje poimenovanje vseh neodvisnih držav in glavnih odvisnih ozemelj. Poleg slovenskih kratkih in polnih imen, rodilnika in mestnika kratkih imen ter njihove pridevniške oblike, po potrebi latiniziranih originalnih ali izvirnih uradnih kratkih in polnih imen ter angleških in francoskih uradnih kratkih in polnih imen posameznih ozemeljskih političnih skupnosti vsebuje še njihove kodne oznake, etimološko razlago izvora imena, morebitne opombe, morebitno alternativno in staro ime ter vzdevek, pa tudi imena njihovih prebivalcev.Sestavljajo jo trije deli. V prvem so teoretsko-metodološka razmišljanja o eksonimih, podrobno pa so predstavljene tudi utemeljitve izbranih imenskih oblik neodvisnih držav in odvisnih ozemelj. Posebej temeljito so predstavljena nekatera imena, katerih raba je neenotna. V drugem, tabelaričnem delu so podrobno predstavljeni imenski vidiki 198 neodvisnih držav in 51 najpomembnejših odvisnih ozemelj z visoko stopnjo avtonomije, ki si lahko z ustreznimi političnimi odločitvami zagotovijo neodvisnost. V tretjem, kartografskem delu so obravnavane ozemeljske politične enote prikazane na barvnih zemljevidih z vrisanimi razmejitvami.

This study presents various aspects of the use of adapted exonyms (i.e., foreign geographical names) in Slovenian. The cartographic use of these names rests on a long tradition dating back nearly a century and a half. This study presents the issues related to the use of adapted exonyms in all major Slovenian world atlases, including the Veliki splošni leksikon (Large General Encyclopedia) and the dictionary section of the latest Slovenski pravopis (Slovenian Normative Guide). Adapted exonyms are treated based on their regional affiliation and semantic type and, for names in the four most prominent atlases, the typology of Slovenianized exonyms has been redesigned and studied with regard to level and type of adaptation. The use of adapted exonyms in the individual sources treated is critically discussed, enabling an onomastic understanding of their actual value and reliability. The collected material is a basis for the greatly needed standardization of adapted exonyms, as recommended by the resolutions of the United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names. These resolutions consistently demand that individual UN member states limit the use of exonyms, which to some degree contradicts the principle of linguistic autonomy. Knjiga prikazuje rabo podomačenih tujih zemljepisnih imen oziroma eksonimov v pomembnejših slovenskih atlasih sveta, Velikem splošnem leksikonu in najnovejšem Slovenskem pravopisu. Kartografska raba teh imen ima s Cigaletovim Atlantom (Matica Slovenska 1869–1877) skoraj stoletje in pol dolgo tradicijo. Zbrana imena so obdelana glede na njihovo regionalno pripadnost in pomenske tipe. Za imena v štirih najbolj reprezentativnih atlasih je bila izvedena tipologija glede na stopnjo in vrsto podomačevanja. Raba podomačenih tujih zemljepisnih imen v obdelanih virih je kritično osvetljena, tako da je z vidika imenoslovja mogoče razbrati njihovo dejansko vrednost in zanesljivost. V praksi je prepuščena boljšim ali slabšim poznavalcem. V zadnjem času se je precej poenotila, kar bi lahko olajšalo prizadevanja za njihovo standardizacijo.

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.
