The book compiles chapters that significantly advance the understanding of personal names (anthroponyms), place names (toponyms), and ethnonyms within the community. It incisively examines the diverse facets of Vatsonga naming practices, illuminating the cultural and social forces shaping personal naming trends. Moreover, the volume investigates the craft of character naming in modern literature, demonstrating how authors employ Xitsonga names to enrich characterization and narrative progression. This linguistically reflective and explorative book serves as a key resource for students and practitioners in linguistic studies, African studies, social anthropology, policy studies, history, and onomastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 414\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.92 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 27, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47685182750941,"sku":"9789956003686","price":86.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/Uo9dOyuTl79789956003686_d304594c-51e2-4ef3-8a9e-90663d39b1a9.webp?v=1774007854","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/seeing-the-world-through-the-onomastic-lens-xitsonga-anthroponyms-and-toponyms-paperback-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
