| Abstract: | The paper aims to analyze practical activities in the field of name-giving in Moscow and to consider some examples of the expertise on the names of Moscow metro stations. We focus our attention on the work of the Municipal inter-departmental committee on Moscow territorial units, streets and metro stations on naming and renaming Moscow metro stations. The paper discusses the possibility of using special onomastic knowledge in naming expertise, as well as a complex method of expert investigation of the names of Moscow metro stations, which functions in contemporary public space. Our expertise is based on the historical approach; it is stressed that the name of every metro station should be individualized and reflect the historical and cultural identity of the city. Besides, the naming of city facilities should not depend on the political situation. We claim that naming expertise can prevent social conflicts arising from unfortunate names. |
