endonymy ‎(uncountable)

1. (semantics) A relationship of semantic inclusion, such as that between "store" and "shopping mall".
   • 1993, Christina Alm-Arvius, The English verb see: a study in multiple meaning, page 18:

     We can also briefly note that both a sense description of the type given above and the use of meaning postulates can be compared to the notion of endonymy, which was introduced by Cruse (1986: 123 f). It is intended to describe the relation between two lexical items when the meaning of one of them would seem to be included in that of the other.

   • 2003, Jane Morris, Clare Beghtol, & Graeme Hirst, Term relationships and their contribution to text semantics and information literacy through lexical cohesion:

     Evens et al. (1983) have a provenience relation (water/well), and Cruse (1986) has a proportional series relation made up of recurring endonymy (university/lecturer/student, prison/warden/convict, hospital/doctor/patient).

   • 2011, Cliff Goddard, Semantic Analysis: A Practical Introduction, ISBN 0199560285, page 200:

     Strictly speaking, endonymy is such a general meaning relation that it would cover hyponymy and certain part–whole relationships, e.g. finger and hand, as well as the kind of examples just listed.

2. The use of the name for a group or geographic region by its members or inhabitants, as opposed to the nomenclature used by outsiders.
   • 2000 June, B Bodenhorn & G vom Bruck, “Processes of Naming”, in Anthropology Today, volume 16:

   • 2008, Tany˜xiwe's Journey: A Javae Theory of History, ISBN 0549742387, page 998:

     As such, there arises a symbolic association between endonymy and the firstborn, and exonymy and the last-born, in keeping with the idea that the firstborn represents internal continuity and the last-born represents the transformation associated with exteriority. Indeed, in the practice of name-giving, the names of the firstborn come from the closest kin and from what is "inside", whereas the names of the last-born come from more distant kin and from what is increasingly "outside."

   • 2008, A Soriente, “The Classification of Kenyah languages: A preliminary statement”, in SEALS XIV:

     In contrast to Kroeger (1998: 154)'s suggestion that ethnonyms beginning with Uma'should be applied to Kayan whereas the ones with Lepo'to Kenyah, the facts about Borneo tradition of endonymy are far more complex.

   • 2011, William Cooney, Egypt's encounter with the West: Race, Culture and Identity in Pacific Linguistics (thesis, Durham University):
