Dictionary of toponymic terminology for the standardization of geographical names
The Czech edition is based on the English version of the "Glossary of Terms for the Standardisation of Geographical Names" prepared by the Working Group on Toponymic Terminology (WGTT) of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN). The glossary contains many examples for better understanding of its content. These examples were partly taken from the UN glossary and partly replaced or supplemented by examples from the Czech linguistic environment. The numbering of terms (entries) corresponds to the numbering in other language versions of the UNGEGN member states (e.g. Arabic, French, German, Polish, Russian). 58 pages and 375 entries + appendices. ISBN 978-80-88197-14-0.
The publication contains an extensive international dictionary of terms used in the standardization of geographical names. The wording of the Czech definitions differs in content from the definitions in the UN dictionary. The dictionary is suitable for everyone who comes into contact with geographical names and the process of standardization, including geographers, cartographers, historians, linguists, onomastics etc.
