Toponymy and Cultural Geography: weaving threads of investigation within the scope of interdisciplinarity

Toponymy is the study of place names; it is based, among other aspects, on the etymology and semantic data of proper names of places (physical and human features), whereas Cultural Geography studies the cultural manifestations occurred in a particular place such as beliefs, dances, myths and tales. This study aims to investigate dialogue points between Toponymy and Cultural Geography, considering the fact that they reveal themselves as interdependent and, at the same time, intertwined in the same weft, as regards the range of their threads of interdisciplinary content. We assume the notion of interdisciplinarity as the investigative paradigm. The approach of the methodology analysis is qualitative and of bibliographic nature. This discussion was supported theoretically and methodologically by Dick (1990, 1999, 2006, 2007, 2008) and Andrade (2012, 2015, 2017) in the Toponymy field, and by Claval (2001, 2002, 2011), Tuan (1979), Correa (2009) and Holzer (1999, 2003) in the Cultural Geography field.
