Abstract:

Ancient people, as indicated by a few myths, knew of the vertebrate fossils from Samos, an island of Greece. The ancient Greeks interpreted these fossils as the remains of Neades, strange exotic beasts, or of the Amazons who perished in battle. Some of the fossils have been found in the ruins of a temple where they had been gathered for display. The red soil in which the fossils were found was explained as from blood spilled during a bloodbath. Furthermore, the Greeks had correlated geologic faults to earthquakes. The myths clearly state that they also had a sense of deep time (the great antiq

Abstract:

Prosopographical data is one of the most important sources for the study of ethnic structure of the Ancient Greek population in the Northern Pontic area. It should be noted that prosopography reflects mostly wealthier and usually socially privileged strata, the representatives of city elite and the officials whose names are recorded in epigraphic records. Roman names from Greek and Latin inscriptions of the first centuries AD in the lapidary epigraphy from Olbia are presented in the paper. The names are put in the order according not to their traditional classification but to another app

The field of onomology, which studies the origin and development of all special names in our language, is a special linguistic layer. The historical past, traditions and close political and economic ties of the Azerbaijani people with other nations are reflected in its onomastic structure. Oronyms are one of the main and active branches of the toponymic layer of Azerbaijan. Oronyms, in turn, include the names of mountains, valleys, hills, pastures, and other places. Examining the oronyms of Turkish origin based on ancient times in ancient Greek sources, it is clear that the oronyms of the anci

Abstract:

It has become a commonplace to say that, in classical Greek and Roman religion, to know the name of a god was to have power over him. The idea was rejected by Martin Nilsson, but he did not argue the point at any great length and a more detailed discussion may be of use. In this paper, I shall examine those contexts where it might be maintained that gods' names possessed some kind of intrinsic power but I shall conclude that the phenomenon is marginal and not universally true of Greek religion as a whole. To do this, we shall have to consider the whole question of how far the Greeks were worri

Abstract:

The article discusses compound formation involving proper names from a comparative perspective. While proper names can appear within compounds in English, this is not possible in Greek. The article argues that this follows from a basic difference between English and Greek: English, but not Greek, allows phrases as non-heads of right-headed compounds. As proper names in English are referential in the absence of a determiner, due to the process of D-N merger, they can still be recognized as such within compounds. This is not possible in Greek, where proper names require the presence of a determi

Abstract:

This paper discusses the formation of synthetic compounds with proper names. While these are possible in English, Greek disallows such formations. However, earlier stages of the language allowed such compounds, and in the modern language formations of this type are possible as long as they contain heads that are either bound roots or root- derived nominals of Classical Greek origin. The paper builds on the following ingredients: a) proper names are phrases; b) synthetic compounding in Modern Greek involves incorporation, and thus proper names cannot incorporate; c) by contrast, English synthet

Ever since the times of Linnaeus, the use of Latinized Greek names for naming the present and past diversity of our planet has been a common practice. This contribution focuses on the use of Greek words in forming taxon names, as exemplified by names from chelonian literature. The current problems of the guidelines of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature about the successful transliteration and Latinization of Greek words are illustrated through various examples, and several improvements and changes in the system currently recommended by the Code are proposed.

Abstract:

The article discusses the names of Russia and their formal variation in texts translated into Romanian during its pre-modern stage (ca. 1780–1830). In this period, the diversity of source languages (French, German, Italian, Serbian, Modern Greek) generated denominative and formal variation of the foreign names in translation. Other causes of this variation are the lack of translation criteria, the different alphabets and phonetic systems (Latin, Greek and Romanian-Cyrillic) that entered in contact, the role of the dominant culture languages (Latin and Greek), the preexisting traditional forms

Going beyond the traditional model of influence study, the article proposes a theoretical framework of cross-cultural intertextuality, creative rewriting, and cultural translation.

AbstractThe history of Greek personal names (PN) related to the theonym Eros is striking.1 Despite being one of the most important gods, Eros, along with Aphrodite, is largely absent from Greek proper names in the archaic and classical periods. Later, however, and especially under Rome, there is a remarkable increase in PN at Rome and Pompeii, as well as in Hispania. The reason for the absence of Eros in early Greek names is most likely the sense of the Greek term ἔρως as ‘passionate love’, whereas its increased popularity in Hellenistic and Roman times reflects the more genial representation

Abstract The present paper focuses on foreign names and loan words in the Gothic text corpus. The names are mostly Hebrew in origin but were transferred to Gothic through Greek. Their phonetic, phonological and graphemic adaption will be discussed in light of the close connection between the Wulfilian and Greek alphabets. In addition, we will raise the question and discuss whether some names are not fully adapted to the Gothic inflection but remain Greek in form, as well as why foreign words are sometimes not assigned to the inflectional class which would appear to be the most natural one.

If the well-attested plural onomata, names, in Mark 3:17 is taken at face value, then huioi brontēs may not be Mark’s translation of boanērges, but rather it could be Jesus’s own original Greek name for James and John. If Jesus named Simon both Kēphâ and Petros, then there is good reason to consider the possibility that he also gave the two brothers a Semitic name, bōḥănê regeš, and a simple, strik

Abstract:

Abstract This article offers a lexical study of the abbreviated simple personal names in Ancient Greek. Rarer than abbreviated compound names and usually neglected in scientific literature, they can be sorted in different lexical categories: short forms related to gods’ names and their derivatives, which are the commonest, ethnics, and, finally, other vocabulary, mainly descriptive adjectives and names of animals and different objects.

Abstract:

The article proposes an original version of the origin of the names of the main characters of the novel L.N. Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. The author of the article, exploring the novel and extensive materials on it, shows an amusing but systematic replacement of L.N. Tolstoy when working on the novel the names of the heroes of the novel from Greek to Jewish, and from Jewish to Greek. This and other facts of the famous novel indicate changes in the work of the great Russian writer, not noticed by other researchers. In addition, the article shows the account of Russian characters when choosing the n

The article is devoted to the methods of classification of ancient toponyms from the point of view of their external and internal structure. The first paragraph of the article gives a brief outline of the history of the issue. Despite the generally large number of works devoted to individual problems of ancient Greek toponymy or individual toponyms, only a few works in both domestic and foreign scientific historiography are devoted to the study of ancient Greek toponymy as a system from a philological point of view. The object of research in this article is the problems of creating a common wo

The excavations at Gordion have produced extensive material to be added to the epigraphical record of central Anatolia. Included in this are 187 Phrygian texts written in the epichoric script of Gordion, which have recently been published by Claude Brixhe and Michel Lejeune, and a large body of pottery marks, numerical texts, and other non-verbal graffiti, which has been studied by the present author. There is in addition a quantity of epigraphical material from the Hellenistic levels at Gordion not discussed in these two works. While their individual character is quite varied, these Hellenist

Abstract:

Numerous names and terms related to Jewish tradition are known from the territory of Roman Pannonia. Pannonian magical inscriptions raise the question, to what extent do names and terms of Hebrew origin bear witness to the presence of Jews in Pannonia in the first three centuries of the imperial age? An almost simultaneous appearance of the silver lamella from Aquincum and the golden lamella from Halbturn proves that the Jewish population of Pannonia not only commemorated itself in official inscriptions but also preserved its identity through amulets.

Abstract:

Abstract The multiplication of psalm superscriptions in the Greek Psalter vis-à-vis the MT raises a question about whether such additions were prompted by the Hebrew or by the Greek text. The present article attempts to answer this question specifically regarding the addition of the names of the prophets Haggai and Zechariah in LXX-Pss 110; 111; 137; 138; 145–150 (= MT 111; 112; 138; 139; 146–150). The thesis is that these names were added secondarily and exclusively within Greek tradition, but the basis for the decision to do so in each case can be traced back to the main body of the Hebrew p

There is no doubt that in Jesus’ times the three ancient languages, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek were commonly spoken in Roman Palestine. It is also beyond discussion that Jesus’ mother tongue was Aramaic.There are many Aramaic wordings in the Greek New Testament that are hinting at the original language of Jesus’ sermons. The aim of this paper is to investigate three Aramaic phrases in the Greek Gospels: Jesus’ cry from the cross (Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?; Mt 27:46; Mk 15:34), his command to the daughter of Jairus (Talitha koum; Mk 5:41) and his allusion to Aramaic characters (iōta – keraia;

Abstract:

Some types of phrases share the naming function with complex words. Hence both phrases and words can be lexical units stored in the lexicon. This article discusses how the functional equivalence between words and phrases can be accounted for without ignoring their formal differences. Such types of phrases can be characterized in terms of phrasal schemas with specific properties, that is, as constructions. The article focuses on the formal properties of adjective+noun sequences with a naming function, in particular in Modern Greek and Dutch. The constructionist approach is able to do justice to

This paper examines the Arabic origins of some common place names in English, German, French, Latin, Greek, Russian, and Sanskrit from a consonantal radical or lexical root theory perspective. The data consists of the names of around 60 key cities like Birmingham, Brighton, Cambridge, Chester, Derby, Essex, Exeter, Glasgow, London, Manchester, Oxford, Queensville, York, etc. The results clearly show that all such names have true Arabic cognates, with the same or similar forms and meanings whose different forms, however, are all found to be due to natural and plausible causes and different cour

Abstract:

The article discusses the names of new saints of the UGCC (hagioanthroponyms) as markers of the collective memory of modern society regarding the events of the past, namely the rejection of Russian (in the 19th century) and Soviet (in the 20th century) ideologies in the religious life of Ukrainian Greek Catholics. From the theoretical perspective, the analysis is premised on the ideas and provisions of onomastics regarding the semiotic nature of proper names and their functions of accumulation and translation of the religious sphere, of sociolinguistics regarding the interaction of language an
