This article lies within the sphere of interests of cultural onomastics asa linguistic image of the world along with many semantic connotations arising from the population’s cultural experiences, knowledge, beliefs, value systems, and stereotypization. As exemplified by Silesian toponyms, proper names are shown as expressions of a linguistic image of the world, reflecting an everyday vision of the world, demonstrating its anthropocentric conceptualization and the ways of categorizing reality.

Arrian (Anab. III. 25.3 etc., IV. 16 etc.) describes Alexander's military expedition in Transoxania, where he and his Macedonian army had to confront Iranian nomadic cavalry for the first time. His experiences and strategy influenced the Antique civilisation's behaviour and defence against those people nearly a thousand years long. The present paper locates the historical site of the events by explaining and interpreting the personal, ethnic, and geographic names in Arrian's and Strabo's texts. The location of these sites has not been clarified yet sufficiently in the secondary literature.

The article’s authors are linguists representing various foreign philologies (Slavistics, Arabistics, Indology, Sinology, Mongolistics) working as experts on the Polish Chief Geodesist’s Commission on Standardization of Geographical Names Outside the Republic of Poland. They have evaluated the selection of entries, the form and etymology of geographic names included in two Polish dictionaries of correct usage, and other information found there on names and objects. The article contains two extensive lists of names given in the dictionaries mentioned above. Entries were singled out that should be corrected or changed; also indicated were erroneous transcriptions, numerous implausible name etymologies, as well as incorrect locations (administrative and geographical) of objects. Each of the authors, independently of the others, formulated very similar conclusions and objections. It is pointed out that in publications of this sort, meticulous compilation is essential so that the reader will not lose confidence in the academic sources of knowledge. This also applies to an accurate, current form of the name, its recording, the spatial localization of the object, its administrative affiliation, and so forth, as well as plausible etymology checked by appropriate specialists. In the case of academic publications, sparing use of reviewers is harmful for the whole community, not just the academic.

In this article the authoress cites contemporary contexts in which globalization does not apply to economic phenomena, but primarily to culture and a new comprehension altered in relationship to the world's past. The concept of universality and generality of phenomena combines universalism and globalization. An altered exterior divides; anthropocentrism also unites. We can compare universalism to certain phenomena in the past, and globalization to the present day. She shows the similarities and differences arising from the meanings applied to universalism and globalization, so-called universality and generality, with examples relating to the past (dithematic given names in Slavic lands, then Christian names, systems for naming areas (geographic names), the migrations of proper names), but also to the present: contemporary given names, the naming of areas, the change in several functions of proper names, the migrations of names, codification, and standardization. She emphasizes the difference in the concepts of generality and universality in relation to autonomy as a component of national identity arising from history and tradition.
