Abstract

Although the importance of the toponymy as a major sector of the onomastic space, it represents a particular difficulty for the new researcher, rather than to other types of names. The fact that those toponyms are insufficiently commented onomatically is due to the fact that many of them belong to the most historical lexical layers, but from the role that this onymic type played at the moment of occurrence, which requires the reconstruction of the worldview of people of that time, their cultural picture of the world. The aim of this study is to describe the cultural and pragmatic characteristics of toponyms as Greenland and Iceland by contrasting as parts of the pragmatic linguistics. As a result of the research, conclusions were given from a cultural-cognitive point of view.
