Should dictionaries include toponym entries?

Joshua Nash

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle

Abstract

My Norfolk Island toponymy database, stored at the Norfolk Island Museum and downloadable from the Internet as my PhD thesis, is a placename listing which comprises the island's various historical periods. These placenames are an important part of the folk lexicon of the Norfolk island language, and raise the question of the proper place of toponyms in general dictionaries.
