By mapping examples of geographical portmanteau words, this paper aims to elucidate several interdisciplinary imaginative practices. It presents examples of verbal invention in the publications and rhetorical practices of three geographers, Francis Galton, John Frederick Heyes, and Halford Mackinder, which demonstrate individual words, especially neologisms and portmanteau words, can reflect concepts of space and disciplinary spaces. The paper traces perceptions of the relations between word-making and world-making via examples of re-scaling, including magnification and shrinkage of words, as well as the moving, subtraction, and addition of syllables or letters in certain words, including geography, philosophy, and geosophy. In drawing on the wordplay of these figures, it argues that portmanteau words evidence parallels between late 19th-century and early 20th-century chemical and geographical practices that have important implications for 20th-century geographies and languages of knowledge-making.

文字游戏、世界游戏和跨学科的想象力

通过映射地理混合词的例子，本文旨在阐明几种跨学科的想象实践。它展示了三位地理学家弗朗西斯·高尔顿、约翰·弗雷德里克·海耶斯和哈尔福德·麦金德的出版物和修辞实践中口头发明的例子，这些例子证明了单个词，尤其是新词和混合词，可以反映空间和学科空间的概念。该论文通过重新缩放的例子，包括单词的放大和收缩，以及某些单词中音节或字母的移动、减法和加法，包括地理、哲学、地球物理学。在利用这些人物的文字游戏时，
