TOWARDS THE NOMINATION FEATURE OF HISTORICAL CULTURAL TOPONYM SYSTEM IN HANOI CAPITAL, VIETNAM

Abstract

Toponymy is a study branch of the field of nomination category in theoretical linguistic research. Toponymy research is the process of surveying and compiling two major and important issues: 1) Surveying the profound structure of a toponymy complex including lexical structure, syntactic relations, and linguistic origins that make up a complete toponymy complex; 2) Statistics of the nominating (naming) system, surveying semantic characteristics, thereby selecting the characteristic naming methods that appear in a toponymy complex. This paper attempt to focus on examining the method of identifying characteristics and characteristics of groups of meanings of the Hanoi system of historical and cultural toponyms. From there, we point out the cultural aspects contained in the meanings of each group in Hanoi capital historical and cultural toponyms system. During the process, we utilize knowledge related to semantics and identification in language to take into consideration towards the issue. In addition, the criteria and knowledge in the field of etymology are also considered one of the important factors in tracing the origin of words, contributing to the handling of semantic problems because the group of place names of ethnic minority origin and place names of Chinese origin, foreign languages and ethnic minority languages account for a fairly large proportion of the research corpus.
