Abstract

The paper analyzes the odonyms of the city of Split based on city plans dated 1976 and 2012. Street names, as part of the semiosphere in which every odonym is carefully chosen, are analysed in an a) empt to discover the social and political circumstances that gave rise to specific names. In addition, street naming as a political act based on a notion of power is seen as an act that has implications in forming collective identity, as will be demonstrated by analyzing local, regional and national (supranational) odonyms. As political features, odonyms are o( en ignored by the local population, and replaced by local names that arise from everyday usage and emotional a) achment to particular places.
