Abstract:The aim of this book is to create an outline of a theory of toponymic usus. This goal covers the introduction and the definition of the concept of toponymic usus as well as the description of linguistic and extralinguistic factors that mould a toponymic usus. Thereby an attempt is made to introduce some normative(i.e. descriptive and not prescriptive!) components to the theory of onomastics and to extend the theory ofnormative linguistics with a more precise description of mechanisms that influence language usus. In theempirical part of the present work the proposed theoretical apparatus has been exemplified with descriptions of formation processes of the Polish toponymic usus regarding some selected geographical names ofthe Hutsul region (in Ukraine)
