autori vari

 

[english version]

 

RIOn è nata nel 1995 per diffondere e valorizzare gli studi italiani riguardanti tutti i campi dell’onomastica, con attenzione particolare agli àmbiti di contatto tra le scienze linguistiche, letterarie e filologiche e altre discipline: storia, psicologia, sociologia, demografia, statistica, diritto, geografia, letteratura, filologia, archeologia, ecc.
Inoltre RIOn ospita articoli – di particolare qualità e di significativo spessore metodologico – riferiti al dominio delle lingue e letterature romanze nel loro complesso, nonché ad altre culture storicamente legate all’onomastica italiana e romanza, in particolare nell’àmbito della germanistica e della slavistica.
Le sue rubriche, possibili grazie a una ricca rete di corrispondenti nel mondo, offrono un panorama internazionale il più ampio e aggiornato possibile, senza escludere alcun dominio linguistico e culturale.

[italian version]  (RIOn is only available in italian)

 

RIOn (the Italian Review of Onomastics) was founded in 1995 with the aim of expanding and deepening Italian studies in every aspect of onomastics. The primary focus is on linguistics, literature, and philology, but coverage extends also to other disciplines, including history, psychology, sociology, demography, statistics, law, geography, literature, philology, and archaeology.
In addition, RIOn carries articles of high quality and methodological significance dealing with Romance languages and literatures as a whole, as well as other cultures that are traditionally linked to Italian and Romance onomastics, in particular Germanic and Slavic studies. Thanks to the large number of correspondents from throughout the world, its sections guarantee a wide-ranging and up-to-date international view, in which no major linguistic or cultural area of onomastics is neglected.

 

Some Statistics

The 30 issues of RIOn that have been published to date (between November 1995 and May 2010), for a total number of about 10.500 pages, contain:
• 593 contributions, by 258 authors of 23 nationalities (312 articles, 260 reviews, 27 obituary notices. The language is Italian in 503 cases, French in 42, Spanish in 41, Catalan in 4, and English, Galician and Asturian in one case. 286 abstracts in English were published).
• over 1.350 notices introducing as many works, including in most cases complete indexes and short comments, with almost 500 indexes of specialised reviews.
• 756 news items concerning congresses and seminars and 463 referring to different activities (40% of which were held in Italy and 60% at international level or abroad).
• 14 annual Italian onomastic bibliographies (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008).
• 18 appearances of a column entitled "Name Frequencies".
• 29 appearances of a column entitled "Marginal Notes".
• 3 international survey in five languages.

Goals

The goals of RIOn are chiefly those of keeping faith with the commitment it has made to its readers from the publication of the very first issue:
• fostering interdisciplinary and intercultural studies;
• paving the way for new research in onomastics;
• coupling the contributions of distinguished scholars at international level with those of young and promising researchers;
• publishing contributions with various different structures: essays, short articles, reviews, sheets, news items, etc.;
• disseminating information concerning publications, initiatives, congresses and seminars, and teaching and research activities in onomastics.

Discussion Points: Future Prospects for Onomastics?

The experience gained by RIOn in its short existence relies on certain convictions – in particular that:
• onomastics is an autonomous discipline, involving dozens of other sciences, a discipline that is becoming stronger with every move, fostering new forms of co-operation and renewed synergies.
• comparative and interdisciplinary studies of naming systems and the socio-cultural role of proper names are increasingly necessary. Suffice it to think, on one hand, of recent patterns of migration, causing radically different cultures to interact with each other, and on the other hand of the global cultural pressure exerted by the leading developed countries, and the subsequent protection and promotion of one’s linguistic and naming traditions in many areas of the world.
• for the next few years, in addition to etymological issues, new frontiers of onomastics may be expected to include wide-ranging studies on such matters as:
– in addition to etymological issues, naming motivations;
– nicknames as an increasingly lively and developing anthroponymic system;
– proper names that denote neither places nor people, which can provide useful information on the onomaturgic behaviour of individuals and social groups;
– literary onomastics, where proper names are considered to function as a communicative sign between author and reader – a stylistic, intertextual, and source indication;
– the comparability of methodologies referring to joint studies carried out in different linguistic and cultural areas.
• it is essential to attract the attention of potential scholars and encourage research activities in those countries which have been “left behind” in the field of name studies, and to favour the dissemination of such studies within the international scientific community.

An Invitation

Being an interdisciplinary review, RIOn seeks to fosters the co-operation not only of linguists and literary scholars, but also that of other scholars, including: geographers and cartographers, archaeologists and palaeographers, genealogists and students of heraldry, psychologists and sociologists, demographers and historians of custom and usage, anthropologists and jurists, zoologists and botanists.
Above all, it encourages co-operation with information technology experts, whose programming and design expertise is nowadays absolutely necessary in order to evaluate and exploit in new ways onomastic data of the past and present, both that which is already available and that which may come to light in future. In addition to this, RIOn extends to name scholars from the whole world an invitation to participate by providing information concerning their activities, as well as proposals and advice. It is addressed in particular to those who are interested in the development of the discipline and in increasing the number of scholars active in the field.
