| Abstract: | [Proper name and national identity: The case of Turkey’s Kurds] The identity value contained in a proper name is recognised in every culture and era: from the Hebrew experience to the present times, it is a sign of identification, an expression of the sense of belonging to one’s own matrix and people. The emblematic and eloquent case of the navên kurdî (“Kurdish names”) of Turkey’s Kurds, which favours a more theoretical and general reflection, will be discussed in the wider sense of belonging to a sociolinguistic minority, delineated both from a diachronic and synchronic point of view. The aim is to highlight the basic dynamic that underlies the use and meaning of proper names in creating, defending or claiming national identity. |
