Nordisk Tidskrift för Socioonomastik

Aims & Scope

NoSo : Nordisk tidskrift för socioonomastik / Nordic Journal of Socio-Onomastics is a journal for research studying the role of names in society and in social interaction – that is, a journal of socio-onomastics. The aim of the journal is to bring research within this field to the fore and enable exchange of ideas and critical discussions and to contribute to theoretical and methodological development. The journal brings together researchers from different disciplines working with socio-onomastic questions. The journal is therefore broad in scope. It includes articles building on all kinds of names, on historical as well as contemporary data, on different methods and on theoretical as well as practical issues. Analyses can also include other kinds of data than names. All research that focuses on developing new knowledge about the role of names in some part of society, at the micro or macro level, is welcome. Socio-onomastics is a multidisciplinary field of research, in relation both to different branches of linguistics and to other academic disciplines. This journal aims to make this even clearer, enabling researchers from different disciplines to be accommodated in a single space and to be mutually enriching. A multitude of theories, methodologies and data are needed to explain the role of names in society and address name-related societal issues. The journal is Nordic in the sense that the research discussed should be of interest from a Nordic point of view. The analysis may be based on Nordic data, it may be written by Nordic researchers who want to reach international readers, or it may be the work of researchers outside the Nordic region who have studied a topic that is relevant to Nordic readers as well. We thus hope to include researchers both inside and outside the Nordic countries who are interested in names and naming.
