Village Names Of Mysore District (An Analytical Study)

About the Book:-It is a matter of great pride to place before the world of scholars the special issue of this book. It was brought out on the occasion of the nineteenth conference. It is an analytical and etymological study (Onomastic) on the origins of the names of various towns, villages and other names mentioned in relation to the Mysore District. This work richly deserves accolades for this excellent research work in the field of Onomastics. This analytical study is the first of its kind in the field of Place - Names study. Being a pioneer scholar in the field, his encouragement has given a fillip to the society to take up the Dictionary on Place and Personal Names. Man would practically have remained a brute but for his wonderful faculty of naming things around him and concepts that originate in his mind. The thinking ability and expansion of knowledge would not have been possible but for this great gift conferred upon him by nature. Historical, cultural and linguistic studies cannot be said to be complete without the application of the results of place name studies. Even ethnologists, geographers, archaeologists and natural scientists are likely to get solutions to their problems from the study of toponyms.
