PEER REVIEW

Abstracts submitted to the symposium was each judged independently by two members of the symposium’s scientiic committee (comprised of experts in the ield) with regards to relevance to the symposium’s theme, scientiic rigor, originality and contribution to the subject ield. Authors whose abstracts were accepted after the stage one review process were included in the conference presentation programme. Authors who wished to do so submitted their full papers for the conference proceedings.

th The Proceedings of the 5 International Symposium on Place Names 2019 involved a rigorous double-blind peer review process of the full papers. The review panel comprised of seven national and international experts on the subject matter, namely place names. Based on the outcome of the peer review process, papers for the proceedings were selected based on the following criteria:

■

Alignment between the abstract and the content of the paper

Whether or not the paper disseminates original research

Whether or not the paper presents a new development within the discipline.

The rigorous double-blind peer review process by the scientiic review panel provided valuable comments and constructive criticism. Authors whose papers were accepted were provided with the anonymous reviewers’ comments and requested to submit their revised papers. Provided that all comments were appropriately responded to, the inal papers were included in the conference proceedings (ISBN: 978-1-928424-68-0).

The members of the peer review panel were not involved in the review of their own authored or co-authored papers.

The role of the Editor was to ensure that the inal papers incorporated the reviewers’ comments, that the papers fully comply to academic standards, and to arrange the papers into the inal order as captured in the table of contents.

FOREWORD

th The 5International Symposium on Place Names (ISPN) was held 18-20 September 2019 in Clarens, South Africa. It was jointly organised by the Joint IGU/ICA Commission on Toponymy and the Department of South African Sign Language and Deaf Studies (previously the Unit for Language Facilitation and Empowerment) at the University of the Free State, South Africa. These Proceedings are a selection of double-blind peer-reviewed papers from the Symposium. The Editor wishes to thank the reviewers for their invaluable input.

The theme of the 2019 Symposium was ‘Recognition, regulation, revitalisation: place names and indigenous languages’. It celebrated 2019 as the International Year of Indigenous Languages, which the United Nations has declared in order to create awareness of the importance of preserving and promoting these languages. To extend the agenda, the UN further declared 2022-2032 as the International Decade of Indigenous Languages. It is evident that it is becoming ever more urgent to preserve the world’s indigenous languages, thereby protecting its speakers and their dignity and rights.

Toponyms, as linguistic items, carry the symbolic load of languages. They relect the natural and social experiences of their creators, as well as their understanding of the world. Unfortunately, toponyms in indigenous languages are often obscured by the processes of language contact or are simply replaced. While their disappearance constitutes an obvious linguistic loss, it is also a loss of cultural heritage that leaves the world a poorer place.

This selection of papers contextualises linguistic, historical and social analyses of place names within the parameters of critical toponymy. Several of the studies in these Proceedings showcase work to uncover and/or document toponyms in indigenous languages. They prove that recording indigenous toponyms is an essential step in their preservation. Other papers explore how the process of place naming functions as a mechanism to create social realities by generating mental maps, and to exert socio-political power.
