摘要

There were mainly six types of formalization models found in the study for 95 city and county names in China’s Hunan province,namely,the environment in a place for the place,the wish of the nomenclator for the place,the relative position of a place for the place,the resident for the place,the legend for the place,and the function of a place for the place.In the six formalization models,environment in a place for the place was the most in number,forging 47 names.Besides,the wish of the nomenclator for the place and the relative position of a place for the place came the second,taking 20 names respectively.The cognitive operation participating in the formalization was primarily single metonymy with only a few complex metonymies.Metaphtonymy could be only noted in the model of the wish of the nomenclator for the place.It was notable that single metaphor was missing in the cognitive operations.
