It was a great pleasure to welcome 249 members of the International Council of Onomastic Sciences to Glasgow for the 25th International Congress of Onomastic Sciences from 25-29 August 2014. Delegates attended from a total of 43 countries, testifying to the vigorous state of name studies throughout the world. The programme included 182 presentations on the congress theme of 'Names and their Environment', comprising 3 keynote lectures, 170 session papers and 9 posters. Of these, 145 were in English, 22 in German and 12 in French. We are delighted that 115 have been written up for publication in the congress proceedings, while a further 59 are represented in the form of abstracts.
The proceedings comprise 5 volumes, organised according to the themed sections of the congress itself. Papers by keynote speakers appear at the beginning of Volume 1. Volumes 1 and 2 then cover Toponomastics; Volume 3 covers Anthroponomastics; Volume 4 covers Theory and Methodology as well as Socio-onomastics; and Volume 5 covers Literary Onomastics, Other Names and Commercial Names.
