Resumo: | This article focuses on toponyms, which is a sub-field of onomastics, and aims to explore the nature and motivations behind giving non-official names to settlement districts located in the outskirts of Angola. Such districts developed in the post-independence period, particularly between 1976 and 2016. It is the first work of an on-going project and it explores a corpus of 34 districts, selected from 10 provinces of Angola, with a focus in its capital, Luanda. The study was carried out in a sub documented area in Angola and shows how naming is characterized in the post-independence period. The results reveal that names materialize from spontaneous contexts and reflect a precarious experience, from a social and economic point of view. This leads us to believe that the civil war, which lasted 27 years, has greatly influenced the naming of districts in the outskirts of Angola, as their names seem to have been chosen based on the motivations of their founders. |

O trabalho é o primeiro de um projeto contínuo e avalia um corpus de 34 bairros selecionados em 10 províncias de Angola, com particular destaque para a capital, Luanda. O estudo, que prevalece numa área ainda subdocumentada em Angola, demonstra como o ato de nomear topónimos nas várias cidades do país é caraterizado neste período de pós-independência. Os resultados revelam nomes decorrentes de contextos causa-efeito que refletem uma vivência precária, do ponto de vista social e económico, o que nos leva a acreditar que a guerra civil, que durou 27 anos, tem sido determinante para que, com base nas motivações dos próprios fundadores, se nomeiem os bairros de cariz popular.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2022-02-07info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/357010.1590/SciELOPreprints.3570porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/3570/6595Copyright (c) 2022 Dinis Fernando da Costa, Hilton Fortuna Danielhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCosta, Dinis Fernando daDaniel, Hilton Fortunareponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2022-02-04T19:51:09Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/3570Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2022-02-04T19:51:09SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse |
