Onomastics (or onomatology in older texts) is the study of proper names, including their etymology, history, and use.. An alethonym ('true name') or an orthonym ('real name') is the proper name of the object in question, the object of onomastic study.
Socio-onomastics is the study of names through a sociolinguistic lens, and is part of the broader topic of onomastics.Socio-onomastics 'examines the use and variety of names through methods that demonstrate the social, cultural, and situational conditions in name usage'. [1]
Onomasiology (from Greek: ὀνομάζω onomāzο 'to name', which in turn is from ὄνομα onoma 'name') is a branch of linguistics concerned with the question "how do you express X?"
Latinisation (or Latinization) [1] of names, also known as onomastic Latinisation (or onomastic Latinization), is the practice of rendering a non-Latin name in a modern Latin style. [1] It is commonly found with historical proper names , including personal names and toponyms , and in the standard binomial nomenclature of the life sciences.
For example, onomastic terms like toponym and linguonym are typical classical (or neoclassical) compounds, formed from suffix -onym and classical (Greek and Latin) root words (Ancient Greek: τόπος / place; Latin: lingua / language). In some compounds, the -onym morpheme has been modified by replacing (or dropping) the "o".
Clement's congruence-based theorem characterizes the twin primes pairs of the form (, +) through the following conditions: [()! +] ((+)), +P. A. Clement's original 1949 paper [2] provides a proof of this interesting elementary number theoretic criteria for twin primality based on Wilson's theorem.
If C is an additive category and we require the congruence relation ~ on C to be additive (i.e. if f 1, f 2, g 1 and g 2 are morphisms from X to Y with f 1 ~ f 2 and g 1 ~g 2, then f 1 + g 1 ~ f 2 + g 2), then the quotient category C/~ will also be additive, and the quotient functor C → C/~ will be an additive functor.
Congruence (general relativity), in general relativity, a congruence in a four-dimensional Lorentzian manifold that is interpreted physically as a model of spacetime or a bundle of world lines; Zeller's congruence, an algorithm to calculate the day of the week for any date; Scissors congruence, related to Hilbert's third problem
