Meaning of Bennenungsmotiv | Babel Free

Definitions

The semantic reasoning behind an etymological derivation.

Examples

“Blasco Ferrer's methodology, like his conclusions, are deeply problematic. First and foremost, it is impossible to establish the Benennungsmotive of the hundreds of pre-Roman Sardinian toponyms. As a consequence, the meanings attributed to them are exclusively based on the proposed Basque etymologies and therefore speculative to the extreme.”
