Apart from establishing relationships
or memorizing events, names do more
- They have/provide connotations! (descriptive
backing):
What do you think of when you hear the name Hawaii, New York,
Gaza Strip?
- Names provide boundaries: in an urban
environment street names are grouped in themes, so that when
a person hears a street name, he recognises the theme and
will know where to go
