Abstract:
CSANÁD BODÓ, From Magyarfalu to Csánglia. Ideologies behind the use of
Hungarian names indicating places in Moldavia
The use of Hungarian names to indicate places in Moldavia is quite varied. An interesting
characteristic of this phenomenon is that place names or name variants different from the ones
used by Moldovan speakers, or even completely unknown to local people, have been developed
and spread west from Moldavia. This paper gives some examples of such place names to illustrate
that the differences in the use of place names locally and outside Moldavia can be interpreted as
mainly ideological. Language ideologies resulting in these differences can be described as
approaches that contribute to the discursive formation of a “Hungarian(-speaking) Moldavia”; and
in which the determining factor in the connection between language forms and space perception is
the “ethnicity” of the space. The ethnically perceived space at the same time – apart from other
linguistic and non-linguistic practices – becomes familiar to the speakers of the Hungarian
language area through the use of “Hungarian” place names.
