| The study of place-name transfer from one language to another is undertaken by investigating oral and written methods of place-name communication. |
| In this regard, a variety of dual naming policies have been implemented and developed by various place-name authorities throughout the region. |
| A specific name serves to restrict or modify the meaning of the place-name. |
| The City of Chicago is an example of the prepositional place-name, but in common use the preposition and the generic are dropped. |
| The Afrikaans language shares many place-name elements with Dutch, the European language from which it derives. |
| Ealing's name derives from the Saxon place-name Gillingas. |
