The theoretical concepts of indexicality and performativity are introduced, and their potential to serve as a framework for socio-onomastic studies of self-chosen first names and pronouns is explored and discussed. The paper is based on an ongoing dissertation project in Scandinavian Languages, which mainly focuses on combining socio-onomastic and discourse analytical research material in order to provide an interdisciplinary view on names, discourse, power and ideology. This is done through a qualitative study where I use surveys, interviews and discourse analysis. The paper presents a few examples from the survey to further elucidate the concepts of indexicality and performativity, and draws conclusions about ways that these concepts may be suitable to apply to socio-onomastic material. 2025-05-19T12:18:38Z 2025-05-19T12:18:38Z 2023-12-12 chapter 9788323374466 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/159854 eng image/jpeg Attribution 4.0 International https://wuj.pl/ksiazka/onomastics-in-interaction-with-other-branches-of-science-volume-2#otwarty-dostep https://wuj.pl/indexicality-and-performativity-a-theoretical-approach-to-transgender-peoples-self-chosen-first-names Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego Onomastics in Interaction With Other Branches of Science.
