Anthropology linguistics of Sheki toponyms

A groundbreaking analysis of Sheki toponyms reveals their deep-rooted ethnolinguistic and cultural significance, uncovering how these place names reflect the region's historical, social, and economic evolution. The study employs a novel ethnolinguistic framework to trace the origins of toponyms linked to ethnic groups in Sheki, highlighting the role of anthropological linguistics in mapping out ethnogenetic relationships. It identifies the factors behind the naming of settlements, objects, and water bodies, while also noting the presence of archaic and dialectal features within these toponyms. Additionally, it explores the phonetic and morphological variations in toponyms during their development, providing insights into the dynamic interplay between language, culture, and environment.
