Book Description
Excerpt from Names of Places in a Transferred Sense in English The title of this volume shows that the subject here treated belongs to that branch of philology which is called sematology; but such a subject has also great importance from the point of view of word-formation. Moreover, I think the phenomenon here dealt with is of such a nature that it will throw light upon several points, not only such as concern the English language and language in general but also such as illustrate the relations which subsist between language and human civilization. The transition of place-names to common nouns is a thing which has been incidentally mentioned in several philological works, but it has never before been dealt with methodically. The most extensive treatment of the question is to be found in a chapter named Words derived from Places by isaac taylor in his book Words and Pla ces; but this treatment is unsystematic and incomplete, and besides it contains several errors.

Book Description
Randall is a former CIA analyst who was executive secretary of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names for some 20 years. His study of place names describes how the names of things influence the way people view the world around them. He also shows how place names have entered popular culture and how the lack of permanent place names has caused problems for military and government bodies. A short chapter on unusual and unacceptable names provides especially rich reading for followers of the trivial, quirky, and strange. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
