Talk:Onomastics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here is a footnote from an article by David Snowden contrasting the use of onomastics with two other similar terms.

"Ontology is commonly misused in the IT profession as an elevated version of taxonomy and is in fact closer to onomastics than it is to ontology."

non-proper names[edit]

This article currently implies that onomastics deals only with proper names. Is there some other field that deals with the sorts of non-unique variable names used in computer software? Is there some other field that deals with non-proper names in general -- such as the recent "planets" vs. "dwarf planets" vs. "minor planets" controversy? --68.0.124.33 (talk) 05:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am by no means an expert in this field but found the "proper" in the first sentence confusing. Would it be possible to briefly explain what a "proper" name is (as opposed to an improper one)? - 129.67.91.55 (talk) 20:24, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re-Onomastics[edit]

@Beserkadvocacy I've never heard of the term Re-Onomastics (not that this means it's incorrect by any means!) Where are you drawing it from? Faust.TSFL (talk) 16:09, 27 October 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Faust.TSFL (talkcontribs) 16:08, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
