Using online discussion o um da a, ou s udy in es iga es he ways people a ach meanings o he

4. How does combining CADS and GIS wo k o e eal and isualize he con ex ual in o ma ion and

As he abo e esea ch ques ions allude, i is hoped ha he mul idisciplina y app oach used in his

o “in e p e i e g ids h ough which we hink abou , expe ience, e alua e, and decide o ac in he places,

because i can help us unde s and how he cons uc o place o ms he basis o bo h collec i e iden i ies and

Backg ound: Onomas ics, Co po a, GIS, Discou ses, and Geog aphy
Co pus Da a in Onomas ics
Comp ehensi e ex co po a ha e seldom been used as da a sou ce in onomas ics. Ins ead, he digi al da a mos
o en used in his ield has aken he o m o name lis s a ying in size and quali y (see Mo schenbache 2020b).
The subjec s ha ha e been add essed in hese s udies include he mo phophonological and lexical s uc u e
o pe sonal names (e.g., MacAulay e al. 2019; Lappe 2002; Pagan 1998); combina ions o desc ip i e

Ame ican peoples (Nick 2017).
Inc easingly, he in e ne has also been used as a sou ce o digi al da a. The inc easing popula i y o his
choice o da a collec ion is unde s andable, since he in e ne may p o ide a huge amoun o onomas ic

newspape s; Tanaka (2016) s udied Japanese su names and hei a ying w i en o ms in social media; and
Hämäläinen (2019) looked a in e ne use names. Meanwhile, in li e a y onomas ics, esea che s ha e

used he Bank o English o analyze he choice o p eposi ion in he i les o o ganiza ions (e.g., he Eu opean

In he spa ial humani ies, Mu ie a-Flo es e al. (2014), o example, au oma ically ex ac ed place names in

Discou ses and Geog aphy
Human geog aphe s ha e heo ized abou he connec ion be ween discou se and space since he “ ex ual” o

and slang was u he e iden by he ac ha Helsinki was he only one o ou h ee ci ies o ha e slang names—
Hesa and S adi (see also Ainiala & Jan unen 2019; Ainiala & Lappalainen 2017).
Conclusions
This a icle in es iga es he digi al u ban discou ses su ounding he names used o h ee ci ies in Finland's
Capi al Region: Helsinki, Espoo, and Van aa. We used onomas ics, geog aphical in o ma ion sys ems (GIS),
and co pus-assis ed discou se analysis (CADS) o de ec he po en ial di e ences in online discou ses ha

Howe e , by concen a ing only on he h ee mos equen discou se p osodies, we ha e ba ely sc a ched
he su ace. Mo eo e , because a equency-based me hod o da a analysis was used, less equen phenomena

Ne e heless, analyzing keywo ds by g ouping hem in o discou se p osodies helped o e eal wha people in

esul , po en ial biases ha may be in oduced when esea che s collec and obse e da a wi h a pa icula

ha his o um is only pa ially ep esen a i e. Fu he mo e, he co pus did no p o ide in o ma ion abou he
