Abstract:

Cette thèse propose une étude sur l'histoire du culte élisabéthain et son évolution en Slovaquie médiévale entre le XIIIe et le XVIe siècle. Elle s'appuie sur un corpus de 61 représentations visuelles, croisé avec les textes hagiographiques, liturgiques et littéraires, et replacé dans son contexte historique et spatial.Le culte de sainte Élisabeth a été un des plus répandus à travers l'Europe du bas Moyen Âge. Porté par la nouvelle sainteté mendiante, l'exemple d'Élisabeth a trouvé un écho puissant dans son pays d'origine, la Hongrie, immédiatement après sa canonisation en 1235. Plusieurs facteurs contribuèrent à la diffusion de la vénération de cette figure féminine : les familles royales, à commencer par celle des Árpád jusqu'au roi Mathias Corvin ; les mendiants ; et, enfin, les colons allemands. Une première partie de la thèse délimite l'espace géographique du thème étudié et présente les sources iconographiques et hagiographiques élisabéthaines qui constituent la base à partir de laquelle se déploie les grandes caractéristiques du culte. Elle recense d'une part les documents d'ordre juridique et biographique sur sainte Élisabeth, puis place sa personne dans la pratique liturgique à partir des manuscrits conservés en Slovaquie. D'autre part, elle présente l'image de la sainte, qui apparait sur des supports variés, grâce à un corpus iconographique inédit.Dans la deuxième partie, Élisabeth est replacée dans les contextes historiques hongrois et slovaque pour définir les premières formes de l'établissement de son culte. L'étude de la topographie témoigne de l'abondance des lieux dédiés à la sainte dans les décennies suivant sa mort.La troisième partie expose les divers motifs et scènes iconographiques de sainte Élisabeth telles qu'elles ont été pratiquées en Slovaquie et les croisent avec les modèles d'autres pays d'Europe. Les images élisabéthaines, auxquelles les fidèles s'identifient aisément, sont soumises à l'analyse pour démontrer leur plasticité au sein de la société médiévale où différents groupes sociopolitiques peuvent se les approprier selon ses propres besoins spirituels. Cette analyse située à la croisée de deux disciplines : l'histoire et l'histoire de l'art, apporte un regard nouveau sur les variations du culte d'une sainte à travers un rassemblement inédit de ses représentations du XIIIe au XVIe siècle
This thesis deals with the history of the Elizabethan cult and its evolution in Medieval Slovakia between the 13th and the 16th centuries. It is based on a corpus of 61 visual representations crosschecked against hagiographic, liturgical and literary texts and put in its historical and spatial context. The cult of Saint Elizabeth is one of the most widespread throughout Europe in the Late Middle Ages. Backed by the new begging holiness, the example of Elizabeth finds an echo in Hungary, her country of origin, immediately after her canonization in 1235, where many factors contribute to the spread of the reverence for this feminine figure: royal families, starting with that of the Árpáds and ending by King Matthias Corvinus; beggars; and finally German settlers. The first part of the thesis defines the geographical space of the topic under consideration and determines Elizabethan iconographic and hagiographic sources which constitute the base for the problem of cult. On the one hand, this part identifies legal and biographical documents on Saint Elizabeth and analyses liturgical practices in connection with this figure on the basis of the manuscripts conserved in Slovakia. On the other hand, it presents the image of the saint with the help of an original iconographic corpus. The second part focuses on Elizabeth in the Hungarian and Slovak historical contexts in order to define the earliest forms of the establishment of her cult. Informed by historical topography, it shows the abundance of places dedicated to the saint in the decades following her death. The third part sets out different motifs and iconographic scenes of Saint Elizabeth in Slovakia and discusses them in comparison with other models in Europe. The images of Saint Elizabeth, with which the faithful identify themselves easily, are analyzed to demonstrate their plasticity in the medieval society which appropriates them according to its own demands. This analysis, placed at the crossroads of two subjects: history and history of art, provides a new approach to cult variations of the saint through the original grouping of representations from the 13th till the 16th centuries

Abstract:

The first aim of this thesis is to present a comprehensive toponymic listing and analysis for six parishes of Western Strathearn, and this is done in Part One where approximately 2500 place-names are considered. The medieval parishes of BQR, COM, TEX, MUT, MZX and MXZ form a continuous, largely upland, area, topographically distinct from the Strathearn parishes to the east, and with the exception of Innerpeffray (part of MXZ, see esp. Part Two, Appendix 1b) somewhat less affected, in the 12c to 14c at least, by inward migration of Anglo-Norman and other non-Gaelic groups or individuals. Thus we might expect this western area to be the most conservative part of an earldom that Cynthia Neville has characterised as conservative and insular as late as 13c when compared to other major Scottish earldoms and lordships (Neville 1983, eg vol i, 156, Neville 2000, 76). The core lands of the more easterly medieval parish of FOW were subjected to the same comprehensive toponymic analysis. Though that toponymic material could not be included for reasons of space, it has contributed, along with the material from the six parishes covered in the gazetteers below, to the second main aspect of the thesis, the discussion of lordship and land organisation in Part Two. In Part Two will also be found an introduction to the earldom of Strathearn and a discussion of a number of aspects of its history, as well as appendices giving additional information relevant to the topics discussed in the body of the thesis. The parish unit was chosen as the basis for the organisation of this thesis since John Rogers (Rogers 1992, esp. 125-7) has shown the fundamental link between the form of the ecclesiastical parishes, whose creation was complete by 12c, and pre-existing units of land usually referred to as multiple estates, a multiple estate being a group of individual estates, not necessarily contiguous, organised and operated as a coherent social, tenurial and economic unit. As Rogers puts it, multiple estates were essentially units of lordship, taking the form of a principal settlement or caput with a number of dependent settlements. They contained within their bounds all the resources required to support their economies and to produce the necessary renders. Accordingly they were arranged in the landscape to exploit those resources, a process which often produced irregular geographical forms, including areas detached from the main body of the estate. This process frequently led to a specialisation of function, such as the management of pasture, amongst the component settlements. Jones (1976) discusses the multiple estate in the context of the early British Isles, Dodgshon (1981, esp. 58ff) in a Scottish context. The latter writer says (op. cit., 58) that in their variety of scale, multiple estates have often been likened to a parish, though some were undoubtedly larger, adding that lordship was exercised over them by a tribal chief, a king or a feudal baron. Many of these characteristics will be found relevant to the discussion of land organisation and lordship in Part Two. In our present state of knowledge, then, the medieval parishes are the best representation we have of the patterns of land organisation in Strathearn as they may have been in the time of the late Pictish and early Scottish kingdoms. A practical demonstration of the relevance of parish boundaries lies in the fact that it is rare indeed to find a settlement place-name whose area of reference straddles the boundary of a medieval parish. It is overwhelmingly within the context of the original parish that the place-names of an area have coherence and are most likely to give up their secrets.

Abstract:

In comparison with personal names toponyms have been rather neglected in studies on literary onomastics. Place names may seem less promising for onomastic research because authors tend to anchor their narratives in the actual world much more than characters. However, place names in literature fulfil important tasks: they mainly contribute to the fictional constitution of space. The question whether the actual counterparts of fictional place names are of any importance for the reader has been discussed very controversially. But place names may also help to create a certain mood or local colour. They even may indicate the passing of time. As all these phenomena are based on mental processes which take place in the reader’s brain this paper tries to study them with the help of actual cognitive science.

Abstract:

Introduction In a proof of principle study, we have applied an automated fluorescence toponome imaging system (TIS) in order to examine, whether TIS can find protein network structures distinguishing cancerous from normal colon tissue from same patient. Methods/Materials Cancer specimen and corresponding normal tissue were harvested at colectomy from a single patient. 5μm sections were then prepared for TIS using a battery of different antibodies, including a number of putative CSC markers. Expression of multiple protein clusters was determined and Combinatorial Molecular Phenotypes (CMPs) were analysed, using specific image-analysis tools. Results By using a three symbol code and a power of combinatorial molecular discrimination (PCMD) of 221 per sub-cellular data point in one single tissue section, we demonstrate an in situ protein network structure, visualized as a mosaic of 6,813 protein clusters (Combinatorial molecular phenotype or CMPs) in the cancerous part of the colon. By contrast, in the histologically normal colon, TIS identifies nearly 5 times the number of protein clusters as compared to the cancerous part (32,009). Discussion and Conclusion By sub-cellular visualization procedures we found, that many cell surface membrane molecules were closely associated with the cell cytoskeleton as unique CMPs in the normal part of the colon, while the same molecules were disassembled in the cancerous part, suggesting presence of dysfunctional cytoskeleton-membrane complexes. As expected, glandular and stromal cell signatures were found, but interestingly also potentially TIS signatures identifying a very restricted subset of cells expressing several putative stem cell markers, all restricted to the cancerous tissue. The detection of these signatures is based on the extreme searching depth, high degree of dimensionality, and sub-cellular resolution capacity of TIS. These findings provide the technological rationale for the feasibility of a complete colon cancer toponome to be established by massive parallel high throughput/high content TIS mapping.

Abstract:

It has long been observed that there is a correlation between the physical qualities of a watercourse and the linguistic qualities of its name; for instance, of two river-names, one having the linguistic quality of river as its generic element, and one having burn, one would expect the river to be the longer of the two. Until now, a phenomenon such as this had never been formally quantified. The primary focus of this thesis is to create, within a Scottish context, a methodology for elucidating the relationship between various qualities of hydronyms and the qualities of the watercourses they represent. The area of study includes every catchment area which falls into the sea from the River Forth, round the east coast of Scotland, up to and including the Spey; also included is the east side of the River Leven / Loch Lomond catchment area. The linguistic strata investigated are: Early Celtic, P-Celtic, Gaelic and Scots. In the first half of the introduction scholarly approaches to toponymy are discussed, in a Scottish and hydronymic context, from the inception of toponymy as a discipline up to the present day; the capabilities and limitations of these approaches are taken into consideration. In the second half the approaches taken in this thesis are outlined. The second chapter explains and justifies in more detail the methodology and calculus used in this thesis. The subsequent chapters examine the following linguistic components of a hydronym: generic elements, linguistic strata, semantics and phonological overlay. In each of these chapters the methodology is harnessed as an analytical tool to generate new findings for hydronymic research. The conclusion consists of a summary of the findings and a review of the performance of the calculus. It emerges that these analytical tools are of use to the field of toponymy in two ways. Firstly, they formalise and challenge previously unquantified statements made in the field of toponymy. Secondly, they elucidate hitherto unnoticed phenomena. It is suggested that in the future this methodology be applied to other datasets (particularly hill-names) and to other regions in Scotland and the world at large.

Abstract:

Background. In the area of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a shared discipline between informatics and geography, the term geo-parsing is used to describe the process of identifying names in text, which in computational linguistics is known as named entity recognition and classification (NERC). The term geo-coding is used for the task of mapping from implicitly geo-referenced datasets (such as structured address records) to explicitly geo-referenced representations (e.g., using latitude and longitude). However, present-day GIS systems provide no automatic geo-coding functionality for unstructured text. In Information Extraction (IE), processing of named entities in text has traditionally been seen as a two-step process comprising a flat text span recognition sub-task and an atomic classification sub-task; relating the text span to a model of the world has been ignored by evaluations such as MUC or ACE (Chinchor (1998); U.S. NIST (2003)). However, spatial and temporal expressions refer to events in space-time, and the grounding of events is a precondition for accurate reasoning. Thus, automatic grounding can improve many applications such as automatic map drawing (e.g. for choosing a focus) and question answering (e.g. for questions like How far is London from Edinburgh?, given a story in which both occur and can be resolved). Whereas temporal grounding has received considerable attention in the recent past (Mani and Wilson (2000); Setzer (2001)), robust spatial grounding has long been neglected. Concentrating on geographic names for populated places, I define the task of automatic Toponym Resolution (TR) as computing the mapping from occurrences of names for places as found in a text to a representation of the extensional semantics of the location referred to (its referent), such as a geographic latitude/longitude footprint. The task of mapping from names to locations is hard due to insufficient and noisy databases, and a large degree of ambiguity: common words need to be distinguished from proper names (geo/non-geo ambiguity), and the mapping between names and locations is ambiguous (London can refer to the capital of the UK or to London, Ontario, Canada, or to about forty other Londons on earth). In addition, names of places and the boundaries referred to change over time, and databases are incomplete. Objective. I investigate how referentially ambiguous spatial named entities can be grounded, or resolved, with respect to an extensional coordinate model robustly on open-domain news text. I begin by comparing the few algorithms proposed in the literature, and, comparing semiformal, reconstructed descriptions of them, I factor out a shared repertoire of linguistic heuristics (e.g. rules, patterns) and extra-linguistic knowledge sources (e.g. population sizes). I then investigate how to combine these sources of evidence to obtain a superior method. I also investigate the noise effect introduced by the named entity tagging step that toponym resolution relies on in a sequential system pipeline architecture. Scope. In this thesis, I investigate a present-day snapshot of terrestrial geography as represented in the gazetteer defined and, accordingly, a collection of present-day news text. I limit the investigation to populated places; geo-coding of artifact names (e.g. airports or bridges), compositional geographic descriptions (e.g. 40 miles SW of London, near Berlin), for instance, is not attempted. Historic change is a major factor affecting gazetteer construction and ultimately toponym resolution. However, this is beyond the scope of this thesis. Method. While a small number of previous attempts have been made to solve the toponym resolution problem, these were either not evaluated, or evaluation was done by manual inspection of system output instead of curating a reusable reference corpus. Since the relevant literature is scattered across several disciplines (GIS, digital libraries, information retrieval, natural language processing) and descriptions of algorithms are mostly given in informal prose, I attempt to systematically describe them and aim at a reconstruction in a uniform, semi-formal pseudo-code notation for easier re-implementation. A systematic comparison leads to an inventory of heuristics and other sources of evidence. In order to carry out a comparative evaluation procedure, an evaluation resource is required. Unfortunately, to date no gold standard has been curated in the research community. To this end, a reference gazetteer and an associated novel reference corpus with human-labeled referent annotation are created. These are subsequently used to benchmark a selection of the reconstructed algorithms and a novel re-combination of the heuristics catalogued in the inventory. I then compare the performance of the same TR algorithms under three different conditions, namely applying it to the (i) output of human named entity annotation, (ii) automatic annotation using an existing Maximum Entropy sequence tagging model, and (iii) a na¨ıve toponym lookup procedure in a gazetteer. Evaluation. The algorithms implemented in this thesis are evaluated in an intrinsic or component evaluation. To this end, we define a task-specific matching criterion to be used with traditional Precision (P) and Recall (R) evaluation metrics. This matching criterion is lenient with respect to numerical gazetteer imprecision in situations where one toponym instance is marked up with different gazetteer entries in the gold standard and the test set, respectively, but where these refer to the same candidate referent, caused by multiple near-duplicate entries in the reference gazetteer. Main Contributions. The major contributions of this thesis are as follows: • A new reference corpus in which instances of location named entities have been manually annotated with spatial grounding information for populated places, and an associated reference gazetteer, from which the assigned candidate referents are chosen. This reference gazetteer provides numerical latitude/longitude coordinates (such as 51320 North, 0 50 West) as well as hierarchical path descriptions (such as London > UK) with respect to a world wide-coverage, geographic taxonomy constructed by combining several large, but noisy gazetteers. This corpus contains news stories and comprises two sub-corpora, a subset of the REUTERS RCV1 news corpus used for the CoNLL shared task (Tjong Kim Sang and De Meulder (2003)), and a subset of the Fourth Message Understanding Contest (MUC-4; Chinchor (1995)), both available pre-annotated with gold-standard. This corpus will be made available as a reference evaluation resource; • a new method and implemented system to resolve toponyms that is capable of robustly processing unseen text (open-domain online newswire text) and grounding toponym instances in an extensional model using longitude and latitude coordinates and hierarchical path descriptions, using internal (textual) and external (gazetteer) evidence; • an empirical analysis of the relative utility of various heuristic biases and other sources of evidence with respect to the toponym resolution task when analysing free news genre text; • a comparison between a replicated method as described in the literature, which functions as a baseline, and a novel algorithm based on minimality heuristics; and • several exemplary prototypical applications to show how the resulting toponym resolution methods can be used to create visual surrogates for news stories, a geographic exploration tool for news browsing, geographically-aware document retrieval and to answer spatial questions (How far...?) in an open-domain question answering system. These applications only have demonstrative character, as a thorough quantitative, task-based (extrinsic) evaluation of the utility of automatic toponym resolution is beyond the scope of this thesis and left for future work.

Das Digitale Ungarische Ortsverzeichnis. Ergebnisse eines Forschungsprojekts. – Im Sommer 2010 wurde unter dem Namen Digitales Ungarisches Ortsverzeichnis ein Forschungsvorhaben begonnen mit dem langfristigen Ziel der Aufnahme und Analyse des vollständigen Ortsnameninventars des Karpatenbeckens. Das Programm wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit Experten verschiedener ungarischer und ausländischer Einrichtungen aufgenommen, es möchte die Geschichte der Ortsnamen von den Anfängen bis heute untersuchen. Das Digitale Ungarische Ortsverzeichnis dient wissenschaftlichen Zwecken, kann aber gleichzeitig für ein allgemeines Publikum von Interesse sein. Die Datenbasis besteht aus zwei Teilen: das Moderne Ortsnamenverzeichnis enthält hauptsächlich Ortsnamen des 18. bis 20. Jahrhunderts, das Historische Ortsnamenverzeichnis erfasst Ortsnamen aus der Zeit bis 1350. Die zugrundeliegende Software-Architektur wird durch das 4D Datenbank-Management-System realisiert, das unter anderem über eine GIS- Komponente verfügt und damit die Visualisierung toponymischer Daten auf Karten ermöglicht: moderne toponymische Daten werden auf Fotografien von Google Earth projiziert, während historische Daten auf rekonstruierten mittelalterlichen Karten eingetragen werden. Dieser Beitrag möchte die allgemeinen und wissenschaftlichen Zielsetzungen des Digitalen Ungarischen Ortsverzeichnisses beschreiben und auf die bereits erreichten Resultate hinweisen. Das Ortsverzeichnis ist verfügbar unter http://mdh.unideb.hu.

Abstract:

In recent years, geography has acquired a great importance in the context of Information Retrieval (IR) and, in general, of the automated processing of information in text. Mobile devices that are able to surf the web and at the same time inform about their position are now a common reality, together with applications that can exploit this data to provide users with locally customised information, such as directions or advertisements. Therefore, it is important to deal properly with the geographic information that is included in electronic texts. The majority of such kind of information is contained as place names, or toponyms. Toponym ambiguity represents an important issue in Geographical Information Retrieval (GIR), due to the fact that queries are geographically constrained. There has been a struggle to nd speci c geographical IR methods that actually outperform traditional IR techniques. Toponym ambiguity may constitute a relevant factor in the inability of current GIR systems to take advantage from geographical knowledge. Recently, some Ph.D. theses have dealt with Toponym Disambiguation (TD) from di erent perspectives, from the development of resources for the evaluation of Toponym Disambiguation (Leidner (2007)) to the use of TD to improve geographical scope resolution (Andogah (2010)). The Ph.D. thesis presented here introduces a TD method based on WordNet and carries out a detailed study of the relationship of Toponym Disambiguation to some IR applications, such as GIR, Question Answering (QA) and Web retrieval. The work presented in this thesis starts with an introduction to the applications in which TD may result useful, together with an analysis of the ambiguity of toponyms in news collections. It could not be possible to study the ambiguity of toponyms without studying the resources that are used as placename repositories; these resources are the equivalent to language dictionaries, which provide the di erent meanings of a given word.

Abstract:

On the historical source value of toponyms. Toponyms as a source for the reconstruction of ethnic relations. – Besides constituting a crucial source material for linguistic history and onomastic research, toponyms occurring in historical sources (medieval charters) can be exploited also for the (history-related) purposes of other fields of research such as historiography (settlement and demographic history in particular), historic geography, ethnography, etc. When trying to map the ethnic composition of earlier times, representatives of historiography like to rely on data extracted on the basis of different layers of the origins of toponyms. However, it needs to be emphasized that such examinations presuppose special circumspection in order to avoid typical stumbling blocks exactly in the field of ethnic reconstruction whose possibilities I want to highlight here. My paper explores the question if toponyms occurring in early Hungarian linguistic monuments could be used for ethnic identification, and if this is the case, how we can draw conclusions related to questions of ethnicity based on linguistic results. In this respect we also need to examine the criteria based on which toponymic data appearing in charters can be linked to certain (Hungarian, German, Turkish or any of the Slavic) languages. Onomastic correlations, information on the evolution of names as well as certain phonetic changes may provide us with some clues in the definition of such links.

Das Digitale Ungarische Ortsverzeichnis. Ergebnisse eines Forschungsprojekts. – Im Sommer 2010 wurde unter dem Namen Digitales Ungarisches Ortsverzeichnis ein Forschungsvorhaben begonnen mit dem langfristigen Ziel der Aufnahme und Analyse des vollständigen Ortsnameninventars des Karpatenbeckens. Das Programm wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit Experten verschiedener ungarischer und ausländischer Einrichtungen aufgenommen, es möchte die Geschichte der Ortsnamen von den Anfängen bis heute untersuchen. Das Digitale Ungarische Ortsverzeichnis dient wissenschaftlichen Zwecken, kann aber gleichzeitig für ein allgemeines Publikum von Interesse sein. Die Datenbasis besteht aus zwei Teilen: das Moderne Ortsnamenverzeichnis enthält hauptsächlich Ortsnamen des 18. bis 20. Jahrhunderts, das Historische Ortsnamenverzeichnis erfasst Ortsnamen aus der Zeit bis 1350. Die zugrundeliegende Software-Architektur wird durch das 4D Datenbank-Management-System realisiert, das unter anderem über eine GIS- Komponente verfügt und damit die Visualisierung toponymischer Daten auf Karten ermöglicht: moderne toponymische Daten werden auf Fotografien von Google Earth projiziert, während historische Daten auf rekonstruierten mittelalterlichen Karten eingetragen werden. Dieser Beitrag möchte die allgemeinen und wissenschaftlichen Zielsetzungen des Digitalen Ungarischen Ortsverzeichnisses beschreiben und auf die bereits erreichten Resultate hinweisen. Das Ortsverzeichnis ist verfügbar unter http://mdh.unideb.hu.

A ToponÃmia Ã a ciÃncia que estuda os nomes prÃprios de lugares. Os estudos toponÃmicos tÃm se revelado de grande importÃncia para o resgate de caracterÃsticas culturais, ideolÃgicas e linguÃsticas dos grupos humanos que habitaram ou habitam um dado lugar, bem como para a recuperaÃÃo de aspectos fÃsicos do prÃprio lugar. Com base nessas consideraÃÃes, o objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever a motivaÃÃo toponÃmica de 54 nomes de lugares que aparecem registrados nos 67 autos de querela editados por Ximenes (2006) e traÃar o perfil toponomÃstico do CearÃ oitocentista atÃ os dias atuais, a fim de identificar as possÃveis mudanÃas toponomÃsticas ocorridas ao longo do tempo. Os fundamentos teÃricos e os procedimentos metodolÃgicos que nortearam esta pesquisa tiveram como base as contribuiÃÃes de Dick (1992), que descreveu um modelo taxionÃmico toponÃmico, o qual apresenta 27 taxes, sendo 11 de natureza fÃsica e 16 de natureza antropocultural. Os dados foram registrados em fichas lexicogrÃfico-toponÃmicas que constituem o modelo proposto por Dick (2004). Verificou-se que 53% dos topÃnimos sÃo de natureza antropocultural e 47% sÃo de natureza fÃsica. A partir de pesquisa bibliogrÃfica e documental, foi possÃvel reconstituir importantes aspectos histÃricos, geogrÃficos, culturais e linguÃsticos do CearÃ por meio da anÃlise de seus topÃnimos.

Abstract:

La ricerca è dedicata a un'indagine puntuale di tutti i toponimi e degli etnici del poema epico ellenistico Argonautikà di Apollonio Rodio. L'analisi, oltre alla valorizzazione di singoli elementi dal punto di vista letterario, ha permesso di individuare numerosi richiami interni, che delineano un'indiretta ma chiara struttura, fino ad ora mai notata. Una parte dei toponimi è stata infatti scelta dal poeta per alludere, contemporaneamente alla narrazione mitica, a culti misterici dionisiaci ed eleusini, contaminati non senza influssi orfici. Il prodotto estremo di tale procedimento è la delineazione, nel IV libro, di un itinerario misterico attraverso l'Attica fino a Eleusi, presentato in filigrana grazie alla manipolazione di omonimie ed eponimie, che consentirono all'autore una sorta di narrazione doppia. Inoltre, la ricerca conferma il forte legame dell'opera con il contesto tolemaico in cui ebbe luce e che condizionò i riferimenti a personaggi della corte quali Timostene di Rodi e Patroclo di Macedonia.
My research is focused on Apollonius Rhodius and deals with the toponymies and ethnonymies named by the poet in his epic poem Argonautikà. These tell much more than simple geography and often hint at myths, local traditions, contemporary court men of the Ptolemaic kingdom (such as Timosthenes of Rhodes and Patroclus of Macedon) and mystery cults (Orphic, Dionysian and Eleusinian, in a very blended form of syncretism). Following homonymies and eponymies I have also been able to discover a second parallel itinerary through Attica, designed by Apollonius behind the main return route of Argo.

The Vallons Obscurs are “Natura 2000” sites in the Nice area. The series of valleys are situated on the left bank of the river Var near the city and are protected on a regional, national and European level. In the 19th century, the Vallon Obscur was a unique valley in the region famous for its physical charecteristics. The research focuses primarily on the definition of the geographical object. Of what do the valleys consist and what criteria bring them to life and allow us to locate them? The Vallons Obscurs indeed a very colourful expression, is simultaneously a habitation name, an area of reputable tourist trails and a truly remarkable site. The second part, based on the exploitation of field surveys and archival documents, examines the origins and originality of the darkness of the vallon obscur and compares their geo-systems and landscapes to those of the valleys not considered obscure.The third part explores the future of these valleys. The disappearance of the original Vallon Obscur raises the question of the sensitivity and fragility of such sites. A typology of the valleys opens reflection allows us to reflect on the procedure behind protection measures and their consequences. The study of the vallon obscur, a small spatial object that is neither a dark valley nor a dark ravine will lead us to consider the politics of environmental management on a more fitting level

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines a small but unfashionable area of Scotland, invisible to tourist guidebooks, heavily urbanised, and whose towns have won environmental ‘Carbuncle awards’ from the Scottish media. Yet it is deep in Gaelic and Scots place-names which reveal a landscape that past inhabitants perceived to be a green and relatively pleasant land, if perhaps not flowing with milk and honey. Part Three belies its numeration, in that it is the core of the study, examining in detail the place-names of eight (modern) parishes, listing old forms and attempting a sound etymology for each. Part One, based on the data gathered for Part Three, attempts to seek patterns among these names, both between and within the languages concerned. Inter alia, it seeks to explore the degree to which the choice of elements for a particular name, from any language’s toponymicon, is conditioned by cultural, political and social influences ranging from feudal and parochial authorities, through the influence of Scots-speaking merchants, to onomastic local farming customs. The lessons derived from Part One were then used to shed light on some etymologies in Part Three: and hopefully will be of value to researchers in other areas of the country.

Abstract:

Early literature in the field of environmental ethics suggests that environmental problems are not technological problems requiring technological solutions, but rather are problems deeply rooted in Western value systems calling for a reorientation of our values. This dissertation examines what resources are available to us in reorienting our values if this starting point is correct. Three positions can be observed in the environmental ethics literature on this issue: 1. We can go back and reinterpret our Western canonical texts and figures to determine if they can be useful in providing fresh insight on today's environmental challenges; 2. We abandon the traditional approaches, since these are what led to the crisis in the first place, and we seek to establish entirely new approaches and new environmental identities to face the environmental challenges of the 21st century; 3. We look outside of the Western tradition for guidance from other cultures to see how they inhabit and interact with the natural world. This dissertation presents and evaluates these three options and ultimately argues for an approach similar to the third option, suggesting that dialogue with indigenous cultures and traditions can help us to reorient our values and assist in developing more sustainable environmental identities.

Classées parmi les forêts tropicales, les forêts du bassin du Congo constituent un immense sanctuaire écologique digne de conservation que l'on classe juste derrière l'Amazonie en Amérique du sud. Le développement des États financé à grands budget, conjugué à l'urbanisation galopante et à l'augmentation de la population, s'accompagnent de problèmes environnementaux qui se posent avec acuité. C'est dans ce contexte que s'inscrivent nos travaux de thèse. Notre objectif a été de proposer une méthodologie qui vise à mettre en place un mécanisme de recherche des informations via internet pour les pays de cette région. L'utilisation des métadonnées, des toponymes et d'une ontologie a paru l'une des pistes potentielles pouvant aider à la résolution des problèmes rencontrés dans le suivi de la dynamique des objets spatiaux ainsi que l'accès efficace à des ressources informationnelles. A la différence des autres modèles, celui que nous proposons lie la dynamique spatio-temporelle des objets à celle de leurs toponymes et permet la description des ressources informationnelles à partir de mots clé provenant de l'ontologie et de l'index des toponymes.

Abstract:

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
A toponímia, no Brasil, tem se mostrado um campo rico de pesquisa dentro dos estudos onomásticos, visto seus objetivos ultrapassarem o ato de nominar, reconstituir valores sóciohistóricos, culturais e linguísticos, e revelar episódios de momentos distintos da vivência da comunidade. O estudo acerca da Toponímia de Comunidades Indígenas do Município de Pacaraima partiu da hipótese de que os topônimos em Língua Portuguesa trazem na subjacência, no mínimo, um topônimo em língua indígena que se revela pelo estudo da etimologia e dos estratos linguísticos. A dissertação analisou traços histórico-culturais, linguísticos e etimológicos dos nomes de comunidades indígenas e procurou entender o que levou um povo a batizá-la com determinado topônimo, o que foi importante para essa denominação e se a comunidade recebera topônimos anteriores, assim como entender o que pode ter ocasionado a substituição de um topônimo por outro. O corpus constituiu-se de 27 acidentes humanos, comunidades indígenas de Pacaraima, na Terra Indígena São Marcos e na Terra Indígena Raposa Serra do Sol. O trabalho foi norteado, principalmente, pelos parâmetros teóricos metodológicos de Dick (1990, 1992, 2000). A dissertação mostrou que a motivação toponímica volta-se principalmente para a fauna, a flora e a cultura da região, por exemplo Guariba, Bananal e Maruai, respectivamente. Enquanto a investigação da etimologia dos sintagmas toponímicos apresentou, como determinante, a fórmula simples, SN(N), Surumu, embora apareçam algumas complexas do tipo [SN (SN + Posp (+ Cóp)], wararapise (TR), organizou os topônimos em quatro grupos, considerando os seus elementos formadores: a) Topônimos em LP com correspondente em LI, b) Topônimos em LP sem correspondente em LI, c) Topônimos em LI com correspondente na LP e d) Topônimos em LI que sofreram aportuguesamento. Nesse quadro, a maior ocorrência está no item a da classificação e a menor no item b. O estudo evidenciou, na classificação taxionômica, os zootopônimos, os fitotopônimos e os ergotopônimos. Finalmente, ratificou o alcance das narrativas orais na reconstituição da memória e da história das comunidades, da mesma forma que comprovou a presença de línguas subjacentes aos atuais topônimos em Português.

Abstract:

The paper deals with the techniques of sanctifying space through the toponym Łysa Góra [Kahlberg] and similar names. Originally, these forms illustrated the mythology of former residents living in a territory and their system of beliefs. According to these beliefs, hilltops and peaks of mountains represent the cosmological heaven, the centre of the local space (the pre-sacred). In the secondary way, the considered proper names are an example of the influence that new Christian religion exerted upon the inhabitants of the given space. During the Counter-Reformation this religion consolidated the awareness of the force of the infernal power (the anti-sacred).

Abstract:

Este trabalho se insere no projeto Atlas das Cidades da Profa. Dra. Maria Vicentina de Paula do Amaral Dick. A pesquisa visa identificar as motivações dos denominadores dos logradouros públicos do Brás, do Bexiga/Bela Vista e da Barra Funda da proclamação da Primeira República (1889) até 1926. A análise dos topônimos no período indicado comporta inúmeras referências aos anos anteriores a 1889, que ajudam na reconstrução, em retrospectiva, da história do progressivo desenvolvimento de antigas sesmarias, chácaras, sítios e várzeas alagadiças, localizadas em áreas periféricas em relação ao centro histórico antigo, nos quais se desenvolveu a malha viária da área em exame. Da análise do inventário toponímico da República, emerge o novo perfil da identidade do povo brasileiro, desenhado pelos intelectuais republicanos, que atuaram mais como agentes políticos propriamente ditos que como intelectuais mediadores da identidade simbólica da nação. No final do século XIX e nas primeiras décadas do século XX os imigrantes europeus, pessoas de poucos recursos financeiros, tendiam a fixar-se na capital do Estado de São Paulo, em áreas dotadas de meios de transporte coletivo, próximas a seus locais de trabalho, nas quais o terreno tivesse custos accessíveis. O Brás, o Bexiga/Bela Vista e a Barra Funda, possuindo esses requisitos, atraíram os italianos, que, amalgamados a outros grupos etnolinguísticos, também residentes nestes três bairros, foram co-autores na construção do registro sociolinguístico-cultural da comunidade, processo do qual a toponímia é parte integrante. A participação dos imigrantes italianos foi significativa na composição étnica da população dos três bairros: introduziu traços culturais novos na arquitetura, nos hábitos, na culinária e na língua, mas foi numericamente pouco expressiva nas denominações dos logradouros. A pesquisa baseia-se na conferência de Sapir, Língua e Ambiente. O trabalho é documental e vale-se de documentação cartográfica, de documentos oficiais do acervo do Arquivo Municipal Washington Luiz e de literatura especializada. A metodologia utilizada é o método indutivo/dedutivo de Dick e vale-se dos instrumentos de pesquisa criados por ela, isto é, a ficha de levantamento de dados e as taxionomias toponímicas. O emprego das taxionomias permitiu analisar a distribuição qualitativa dos topônimos no território em apreço e formular as conclusões finais do trabalho.
This work is intended to be inserted into a project by Maria Vicentina de Paula do Amaral Dick, PhD, namely, Atlas das Cidades. Our research aims at identifying the motivations of the individuals or groups of individuals who, from 1889 (date of the Declaration of the First Republic by the Republican Party) to 1926, denominated streets and squares existing in three quarters of São Paulo, known as Brás, Bexiga/Bela Vista and Barra Funda. The analysis of the place names along this period of time involves several references to years prior to 1889. These references help, in retrospect, to determine how rural properties, located in the periphery of the town and belonging to great land owners, developed into quarters where the street communication system was built later on. From the exam of the toponymic inventory created by the Republican Party emerges the new profile of the Brazilian national identity drawn by the republican intellectuals who acted like political agents rather than intellectuals mediating the symbolical identity of the nation. At the end of the XIX century the European immigrants, who had limited financial resources, settled in the Capital of the State of São Paulo in areas served by collective means of transportation, near to their work places, where the land could be acquired at low costs. Brás, Bexiga/Bela Vista and Barra Funda met with all those requirements and attracted the Italians who, amalgamated with other etnolinguistic groups living in the same quarters, turned into co-authors in building the sociolinguistic and cultural registry of the community, a process in which toponimy plays an important role. The participation of Italian immigrants in the ethnical feature of Brás, Bexiga/Bela Vista and Barra Funda was significant by introducing new cultural traces into architecture, customs, as well as culinary habits and language trends. However the participation mentioned above proved to be negligible in terms of place names. Our research is based on a conference of Sapir, namely, Language and Environment. The work is a documental one and utilizes cartographic documents, official documents from Washington Luis Historical Archive of the Municipality and specialized literature. The methodology employed is Dicks inductive/deductive method and is supported by the instruments of research created by her, that is to say, schedule of data and toponymic taxonomies. The taxonomies allowed us to analyze the qualitative distribution of the place names in the territory under exam and formulate the final conclusion of our work.

The occupation of determined physical space by the human being and the need of localization in the geographic space perform that the man names spaces, ensuring his survival. So, by means of toponymic studies, knowledge which composes the Onomastic, it is verified the relationship established between the naming and culture and the history. The Toponymy occupies it studies in the names of places, cities, villages etc., besides of geographical elements. The research approaches the toponymy from the Brazilian State of Maranhão, specially focused in the hydronymia from indigenous origin related to the region comprised for the North Mesoregion from Maranhão that is located inside the hidrographic region of the western northest ocidental. This area, also known as Frente Litorânea de expansão do espaço maranhense, represents a dense water network (rivers, lakes, lagoons, streams, igarapes, swamps) that allowed/allows the displacement and the survival of the man in the Maranhão territory, as integrant part of the territory which belonged, in the eighteenth century, to the Maranhão Colonial State which possessed an indigenous population composed by 30 peoples, approximately 250.000 individuals, being one of the Brazilian centers with a huge density of indigenous speaks which belongs to two language trunks – Macro-jê and Tupi-Guarani or Macro-Tupi. Currently, Maranhão has an indigenous self-declared population of 37,272 individuals (IBGE, 2010). Considering this reality, we aim to delineate general trends of the Maranhão hydronymy, with emphasis on the names of indigenous origin that fall within the area delimited for this study. For collecting the data, we performed na indirect research in the public collection, intending to collect old maps, besides of research in documents and official sites, for the search of current maps. To the achievement of the corpus, it was realized the survey of: (i) the whole hydronymia of the mesoregion from the North of Maranhão, by means of current maps from IBGE and (ii) hydronymia in maps from the territoty of Maranhão from seventeenth, eihteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries and in works of chroniclers as Claude d’Abbeville, Yves d’Évreux and Frei Francisco de Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres Maranhão The studies of Dauzat (1926), Vasconcelos (1931), Dick (1990, 1992, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2007), Isquerdo (2006, 2009, 2011), Seabra (2006, 2008, 2012), Isquerdo e Seabra (2010), Rosselló i Verger (2010) and Mujika Ulazia (2010) based this research. With this material we constitute the corpus of the research with: (i) current maps that are inserted in six microregions and total 60 municipalities in Maranhão and correspond to a total of 823 hydrographies, of which 233 are of indigenous origin (more specifically Tupi - LT), 551 (NE), and (ii) ancient maps whose data reveal a considerable indigenous presence in the Maranhão hydronymy of the region investigated. Some rather emblematic examples can be noticed in Itapecuru-Mirim, Icatu, Pindaré and Mearim. The data presented the phytotopyms and zootopony taxa of physical nature as the most recurrents, so that the influence of the environment (vegetables and animals) was significant on the nomination of the hydronymies collected. According to the data, it was possible to understand the relationship that the man establishes with the language, culture and environment, since the toponym, as a part of the lexicon of a language, reflects values and beliefs of a linguistic community.
A ocupação de determinado espaço físico pelo ser humano e a necessidade de se localizar no ambiente geográfico fazem com que o homem nomeie esses espaços, garantindo assim sua sobrevivência. Desse modo, por meio dos estudos toponímicos, área do conhecimento que compõe a Onomástica, verifica-se a relação que se estabelece entre o ato de nomear e a cultura e a história. A Toponímia se ocupa do estudo dos nomes de lugares, cidades, aldeias etc., além de elementos geográficos. Esta pesquisar se volta, portanto, para a toponímia maranhense, com foco precisamente na hidronímia de origem indígena relativa à região compreendida pela Mesorregião Norte Maranhense que se situa dentro da Região Hidrográfica do Atlântico Nordeste Ocidental, na parte maranhense. Essa área, também conhecida como Frente Litorânea de expansão do espaço maranhense, reúne uma densa rede hídrica (rios, lagos, lagoas, riachos, igarapés, brejos) que permitiu/permite o deslocamento e a sobrevivência do homem na região. O Maranhão, como parte integrante do território que pertenceu, no século XVIII, ao Estado Colonial do Maranhão, possuía uma população indígena formada por cerca de 30 povos, aproximadamente 250.000 indivíduos, sendo assim um dos centros brasileiros de maior densidade de falares indígenas pertencentes a dois troncos linguísticos – Macro-Jê e Tupi-Guarani ou Macro-Tupi. Atualmente o Maranhão conta com uma população autodeclarada indígena de 37.272 indivíduos (IBGE, 2010). Considerando essa realidade, objetivamos delinear tendências gerais da hidronímia maranhense, com ênfase nos nomes de origem indígena que se inserem na área delimitada para este estudo. Para coleta dos dados realizamos, pesquisa indireta, nos acervos públicos do Estado do Maranhão, com vista à recolha de mapas antigos. Ainda, em documentos e em sites oficiais, para a busca de mapas atuais. Para obtenção do corpus, foi realizado o levantamento de: (i) a hidronímia da Mesorregião Norte Maranhense, por meio de mapas atuais do IBGE (2010) e (ii) da hidronímia em mapas do território maranhense dos séculos XVII, XVIII, XIX e XX, e em trabalhos de cronistas, como Claude d’Abbeville, Yves d’Évreux e Frei Francisco de Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres Maranhão. Os estudos de Dauzat (1926), Vasconcelos (1931), Dick (1990, 1992, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2007), Isquerdo (2006, 2009, 2011), Seabra (2006, 2008, 2012), Isquerdo e Seabra (2010), Rosselló i Verger (2010) e Mujika Ulazia (2010) fundamentaram esta pesquisa. Com esse material constituímos o corpus da pesquisa com: (i) mapas atuais que estão inseridos em seis microrregiões e somam 60 municípios maranhenses e corresponde a um total de 823 hidrônimos, sendo 233 de origem indígena (mais especificamente tupi – LT), 551 de origem portuguesa (LP) e 38 de origem desconhecida, que foram por nós considerados como não encontrados (NE), e (ii) mapas antigos cujos dados revelam uma considerável presença indígena na hidronímia maranhense da região investigada. Alguns exemplos bastante emblemáticos podem ser notados em Itapecuru-Mirim, Icatu, Pindaré e Mearim. Os dados ainda apresentaram as taxionomias Fitotopônimos e Zootopônimos, de natureza física, como as mais recorrentes. Desse modo a influência do ambiente (vegetais e animais) foi significante na nomeação dos hidrônimos coletados. Com base nesses dados, foi possível entender a relação que o homem estabelece com a língua, a cultura e o ambiente, uma vez que o topônimo, como parte do léxico de uma língua, reflete valores e crenças de uma comunidade linguística.

Abstract:

Sendo o estudo dos topônimos recurso para a compreensão de traços da língua e do homem denominador, o presente estudo foi concebido para oferecer contribuições relativas aos aspectos do meio físico e cultural em que esses nomes foram gerados, integrando-se ao Projeto Atlas Toponímico de Portugal (ATPor). Deste modo, este trabalho tem por objetivo verificar características semânticas de topônimos do concelho de Braga, Portugal, recuperando motivações transparentes e opacas que envolvem tais denominações, bem como analisar estruturalmente os nomes de lugar do mencionado concelho. Com base em trabalhos de Dick sobre teoria e análise científica de topônimos em suas variedades semânticas no Brasil (iniciados em 1980) e na aplicação destes conceitos por Carvalhinhos na toponímia de Portugal (a partir de 1998), reunimos apontamentos históricos e linguísticos referentes a questões particulares da Toponímia e, por extensão, da Onomástica como ciência dos nomes para determinarmos o perfil da motivação de nomes de lugares do concelho. O estabelecimento do corpus e a metodologia de trabalho pautaram-se em parâmetros de confecção de Atlas toponímicos, possibilitando sistematizar e quantificar dados para a descrição da toponímia local. Entre os quatrocentos e quarenta e três topônimos analisados, quatrocentos e dezenove foram classificados em taxionomias toponímicas, apontando um padrão motivador da dinâmica de denominação de entidades geográficas do concelho de Braga. A recuperação toponímica permitiu notar nomes relacionados ao período pré-romano e, sobremaneira, à época medieval, evidenciando aspectos do contexto físico e temas sociais que se referem aos séculos V a XII. De um lado, muitos nomes de lugares que procedem da natureza física refletem a geomorfologia, a vegetação e a constituição mineral do solo. De outra parte, modos medievais de demarcar propriedade, evidenciar os fatos sociais e a constituição de aglomerados humanos atuam na origem antropocultural da maioria dos topônimos do levantamento analisado. Nesse quadro, identificamos arcaísmos, revelando a manutenção de denominações no local.
Because the study of toponyms is a resource for understanding the linguistic traits and also the man who gave the name, this study was conceived to make contributions related to the aspects of the physical and cultural means in which these names were created, becoming part of the Portugal Toponymic Atlas (Projeto Atlas Toponímico de Portugal ATPor). Thus, this dissertation aims to verify which semantic feature are present at toponyms of the municipality of Braga, Portugal, recovering transparent and opaque motivations involving such denominations as well as analyzing structurally the place names in the aforementioned municipality. Based on Dick\'s work on the scientific theory and analysis of toponyms in their semantic variants in Brazil (begun in 1980) and on the application of these concepts by Carvalhinhos to toponyms in Portugal (starting in 1998), we gathered historical and linguistic records regarding particular issues in Toponymy and, by extension, Onomastics as the science of names, in order to determine the motivational profile of place names in Braga. The constitution of the corpus and the methodology were based on toponymic Atlas\' production parameters, making it possible to systematize and quantify data to describe the local toponymy. Among the four-hundred and fortythree toponyms analyzed, four-hundred and nineteen were classified in toponymic taxonomies, indicating a motivational pattern for the dynamic of naming geographic entities in Braga municipality. Toponymic retrieval allowed to find out names related to the pre-Roman period and, especially, medieval times to be found, providing evidence of aspects of the physical context and social themes that regard the V to XII centuries. On the one hand, many place names originating from a place\'s physical nature reflect the geomorphology, vegetation and mineral makeup of the soil. On the other, medieval manners of demarcating property, displaying social facts and constituting human settlements are active in the anthropo-cultural origin of the majority of the surveyed toponyms analyzed. In this situation, we identified archaisms, showing continuing use of denominations at the location.

Abstract:

Esta dissertação propõe uma investigação acerca dos nomes das escolas públicas e privadas, de Ensino Fundamental e Médio, da cidade de Bento Gonçalves (RS), sob a perspectiva dos estudos de Toponímia, que é a área da Onomástica responsável pela análise dos nomes de lugares. O objetivo geral é investigar a origem linguística e a importância histórica e cultural das denominações das escolas, verificando também de que forma os fatores linguísticos, históricos, culturais, identitários, regionais e ideológicos de uma sociedade podem influenciar na escolha desses nomes. A partir do levantamento do corpus de quarenta e sete nomes de escolas públicas e privadas, de Ensino Fundamental e Médio, da cidade de Bento Gonçalves, buscam-se as motivações toponímicas de cada denominação em fontes documentais e históricas. Essas informações são catalogadas por meio de fichas lexicográfico-toponímicas (modelo de Dick, 1990). Dessa forma, através da observação e do exame das características dos topônimos, realiza-se uma análise essencialmente qualitativa, propondo-se uma categorização dos nomes de acordo com a taxionomia elaborada por Dick (1990) e o processamento das denominações por motivação toponímica, data de instituição, gênero, profissão e alterações ao longo do tempo. O estudo revela que há tendências denominativas de acordo com cada época e essas tendências são influenciadas pelos aspectos linguísticos, culturais, identitários e ideológicos vivenciados pela comunidade no momento do estabelecimento das denominações, que preservam e transmitem esses valores. Revela, ainda, que os nomes podem ter resultado de imposição legal ou solicitação da comunidade, mas a permanência ou alteração de um topônimo é determinada pelos sentidos que a comunidade constrói sobre ele. Portanto, a pesquisa apresenta contribuições aos estudos de Toponímia na Região de Colonização Italiana do Nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil

This dissertation proposes an investigation of the names of public and private elementary and high schools of the city of Bento Gonçalves (RS) under the perspective of toponymic studies. Toponymy is the area of Onomastics responsible for the analysis of place names. The general goal is investigating the linguistic origin and the historical and cultural importance of naming a school, also verifying how linguistic, historic, cultural, identity, regional and ideological factors of a given society may influence the choice of the names. From the corpus of forty-seven public and private elementary and high schools of the city of Bento Gonçalves, the toponymic motivation of each name is researched in documental and historical sources. The information is recorded on cards, according to a lexicographic-toponymic model proposed by Dick (1990). By observing and examining the characteristics of every toponym, a qualitative analysis is realized, and the names are classified according to the taxonomy proposed by Dick (1990), along with the processing of names as per motivation, creation date, gender and profession of the person honored with the name of the school, and changes that occurred along time. The study reveals that there are naming tendencies according to every period of time, and that such tendencies are influenced by linguistic, cultural, identity and ideological aspects experienced by the community in the moment that the names are chosen. Therefore the names preserve and transmit such features. The study also reveals that these names may either result from legal imposition or were demanded by the community, but the persistence or change of a toponym is determined by the meanings that the community builds upon it. So, this investigation presents a contribution to toponymic studies of the Italian Immigration Region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Abstract:

O presente trabalho visa a estudar a motivação e a classificação dos nomes dos bairros da cidade de Bento Gonçalves, localizada na Região de Colonização Italiana do Nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul. O corpus da pesquisa foi levantado a partir de uma coleta de dados realizada em fontes oficiais do município, e consiste em quarenta e seis denominações, referentes a todos os bairros da cidade. Essas denominações foram decretadas por quatro leis diferentes, criadas para acompanhar o crescimento da cidade. Devido ao fato de as leis não portarem nenhum indício sobre a motivação de tais nomes ou sobre suas interpretações, foi realizada uma revisão de trabalhos anteriores, bem como de bibliografia voltada à história da cidade, para uma melhor compreensão desses nomes. Os topônimos foram, a seguir, classificados de acordo com a taxonomia proposta por Dick (1990b). Os resultados permitem verificar que a maior parte das denominações dos bairros da cidade faz referência a nomes de santos (hagiotopônimos). Há, também, nomes formados por siglas (acronimotopônimos), nomes referentes a nomes próprios individuais (antropotopônimos), a elementos vegetais (fitotopônimos), entre outros. Nota-se, ainda, a presença de nomenclaturas opacas e transparentes, bem como nomes populares. Por fim, destaca-se que tal estudo acerca desse município, juntamente com os demais já realizados sobre outros, poderá vir a contribuir para a construção de um futuro Atlas Toponímico do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul.

This paper intends to study the motivation and the classification of the names of the neighborhoods from Bento Gonçalves City, located in the Italian Colonization Region in the Northeastern area of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The corpus was obtained from a data collection carried through official sources from the county, and consists of forty-six names, pertaining to all districts of the city. These denominations were enacted by four different laws that were created to accompany the growth of the city. Due to the fact that the laws can not give any clue about the motivations of these names or about their interpretations, a papers review was made, as well as a bibliographic research towards the history of the city, for a better understanding of these names. The names of the places were, then, classified according to the taxonomy proposed by Dick (1990b). The results allow us to verify that most of the names of the city neighborhoods refer to catholic saints. There are also names referring to acronyms, personal names, vegetation, among others. Opaque and transparent denominations were found, and popular names as well. Finally, it is emphasized that such study of this city, along with others already made about other cities, perhaps will be able to contribute to build a future Toponymic Atlas of the State of Rio Grande do Sul.

Abstract:

The study of place-names containing personal names is a neglected field in onomastics, despite being of great significance in various areas of name-studies. At its core, this thesis will begin to bridge the gap between the study of place-names and personal names, both practically and theoretically. The first step is to introduce a formally accepted terminology for the study of these names. Here, the term used to describe a place-name containing a personal name is anthropo-toponym. The acknowledgement of such a term would aid and indeed encourage future studies of anthropo-toponyms, both in Scotland and elsewhere. The study is approached through a close investigation of name material from the Isle of Lewis. The toponyms in question are characterised by two main linguistic layers, Old Norse and Scottish Gaelic, both of which have been included here. Although this material is partially an exercise in investigating the characteristics and properties of anthropo-toponyms, it also sheds considerable light on the social and linguistic history of Lewis place-names. Additionally, the study draws on a considerable amount of comparative evidence. This is primarily collected from the comprehensive survey of The Place-Names of Fife by Simon Taylor with Gilbert Márkus (2006-12). However, when studying the Norse dimension further, material from Landnámabók, one of the key sources for the medieval settlement of Iceland, has also been included. One of the most significant proposals made in this thesis is the concept of using a variant of the name-semantic approach, previously discussed by Peder Gammeltoft (2001a) in a Scottish context. At its core, this means that rather than emphasising the etymology of individual place-name elements, the motivation for coining is emphasised. It will become evident that using this approach makes it possible to view anthropo-toponyms in a different light. Through this method, we find that there is considerable variety to be found within the name-material, particularly when we look at the social and cognitive factors at play when place-names are coined and transmitted. Place-names that, on the surface appear to be relatively homogenous, can prove to be the opposite. For example, names such as Creagan Iain Ruaidh, Geodha Bean, Mhurchaidh, Stac Dhomhnuill Chaim and Tigh Mhaoldònuich, which are all coined in a comparable social Gaelic setting in the early modern period, appear to represent motivations relating to a birth, a drowning, the abode of a notorious outlaw, and the temporary hideout of a sheep thief respectively. By emphasising these micro-narratives, it is possible to shed light on the name material from a new perspective and to provide a greater understanding of the process of coining place-names.

Abstract:

This thesis examines linguistic similarities and differences between the Russian and Ukrainian languages regarding the word formation of adjectives referring to place names (toponyms). Using contrastive analysis for analyzing the database composed of approximately 1500 shared toponyms, information is presented revealing the use of appropriate derivational paradigms. Tables are provided illustrating important characteristics of toponym stem-endings and the acquisition of their corresponding suffixes. This information culminates in a better understanding of the proper use within each language for the 25 Russian and 18 Ukrainian suffixes used in the derivational models, and its application within language. Analyzing derivational paradigms of these two investigated languages, I found 15 similar and 7 different models resulting from the word formation process. This information brings a clearer picture for both languages on how derivational paradigms are used in the proper formation of adjectives.

A ToponÃmia, um dos ramos da OnomÃstica, Ã a ciÃncia linguÃstica que tem por objetivo estudar os nomes prÃprios de acidentes geogrÃficos fÃsicos e humanos, a partir da anÃlise da relaÃÃo lÃngua-cultura-sociedade. Baseada nestes pressupostos, esta pesquisa objetivou inventariar, descrever e analisar os topÃnimos relativos aos acidentes humanos (estado, microrregiÃes, municÃpios) e fÃsicos (rios) da AmazÃnia Ocidental Brasileira, ou seja, do estado do Acre, a fim de verificar em que medida esses topÃnimos retratam a realidade fÃsicogeogrÃfica e sociocultural no processo de nomeaÃÃo dos referidos espaÃos. Orientou essa pesquisa a seguinte hipÃtese: a toponÃmia acreana preserva particularidades linguÃsticas, sÃcio-histÃrico-culturais, e fÃsico-geogrÃficas da regiÃo que influenciaram o denominador no ato de nomeaÃÃo. Os dados foram coletados, principalmente, no Mapa PolÃtico- Administrativo do Estado do Acre (2006), escala 1: 1000 000, fornecido pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e EstatÃstica (IBGE-AC). Dada a natureza da pesquisa, adotaram-se as orientaÃÃes teÃrico-metodolÃgicas de Dick (1992) e os princÃpios teÃricos da lexicologia e da semÃntica, dando-se destaque Ãs questÃes relativas ao processo de construÃÃo do significado dos itens lÃxicos associados Ãs categorias toponÃmicas. Adotou-se, para a distribuiÃÃo dos signos toponÃmicos coletados, a terminologia de Salazar-Quijada (1985) macrotopÃnimos, para as nomeaÃÃes do estado e das microrregiÃes; microtopÃnimos, para os municÃpios; e topÃnimos, para as nomeaÃÃes dos rios. Os resultados apontaram, em relaÃÃo aos macrotopÃnimos, para uma completa influÃncia de condutas motivadoras de ordem fÃsica, haja vista que todos os topÃnimos registrados enquadram-se na taxe dos hidrotopÃnimos (100,0%). Isso mostra que as correntes hÃdricas regionais refletiram completamente na nomenclatura geogrÃfica do estado e das microrregiÃes. Contudo, no que tange aos microtopÃnimos, os MunicÃpios, prevaleceu a motivaÃÃo de natureza antropo-cultural, jÃ que foram registradas como taxes mais produtivas, os historiotopÃnimos (38,1%) e os etnotopÃnimos (13,7%). Por sua vez, os topÃnimos dos acidentes humanos, de maneira geral, mostraram a superioridade dos fatores motivacionais de natureza antropo-cultural (67,9%) em relaÃÃo aos de natureza fÃsica (32,1%). JÃ em relaÃÃo Ã toponÃmia dos acidentes fÃsicos, os fatores motivacionais de natureza antropo-cultural (50,0%) foram preponderantes em relaÃÃo aos de natureza fÃsica (36,7%). As taxes mais produtivas foram os zootopÃnimos (16,7%), dimensiotopÃnimos (10,0%) e antrotopÃnimos (10,0%). Em sÃntese, a anÃlise toponÃmica dos acidentes geogrÃficos acreanos evidenciou que, na construÃÃo do significado dos signos toponÃmicos, concorrem elementos linguÃsticos e extralinguÃsticos. Os topÃnimos acreanos sÃo, de modo geral, motivados por condicionantes sÃcio-histÃrico-culturais e fÃsicogeogrÃficos. Os resultados, in totum, confirmam a hipÃtese que norteou nossa pesquisa.
Toponymy, a branch of onomastics, is the linguistic science which aims at studying the names of physical and human geographic features, from the analysis of the language-culture-society. This research intended to inventory, describe and analyze the toponyms human accidents (state micro-regions, municipalities) and physical (rivers) of the Western Brazilian Amazon, i.e. the state of Acre, in order to verify to what extent these toponyms portray reality physicalgeographical and socio-cultural in the appointment of such spaces. This research is guided by the following hypothesis: Acreâs toponymy preserves linguistic, socio-historical, cultural and physical-geographical particularities characteristics of the region, that influenced the denominator the act of naming. Data were collected mainly throug Political and Administrative Map of Acre (2006), scale 1: 1000 000, provided by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE-AC). We adopted Dickâs theoretical and methodological approach, and the theoretical principles of lexicology and semantics, considering prominent issues concerning the construction of the meaning of lexical items associated with toponymic categories. We adopted, for the distribution of toponymic signs collected, Salazar-Quijadaâs terminology: macrotoponyms, for the appointments of State and Micro-regions; microtoponyms for the municipalities, and place names, for appointments rivers. The results showed, compared to macrotoponyms a complete duct motivating influence of physical nature, because all the place names recorded fall compared to tax hydrotoponyms (100.0%). This shows that the current regional water reflected completely the geographical nomenclature of the state and micro-regions. Comparatively to microtoponyms, municipalities, however, the prevailing motivation nature-cultural anthropology, since taxes were recorded as the most productive namely, historiotoponyms (38.1%) and etnotoponyms (13.7%). The toponyms human accidents, in a general way, showed the superiority of the motivational factors related to nature and cultural anthropology (67.9%) if compared to factors of physical nature (32.1%). Concerning to physical accidents of place names motivational factors of nature and cultural anthropology (50.0%) were predominant taking as parameter those of physical nature (36.7%). The most productive taxes were zootoponyms (16.7%) dimensiotoponyms (10.0%) and antrotoponyms (10.0%). To summarize, the analysis of Acre landforms toponymic showed that in the construction of the meaning of signs toponymic, linguistic and extralinguistic elements cooccur. Acreâs toponyms are generally motivated by socio-historical, cultural and physical geography constraints. The results, in totum, confirm the hypothesis which founds our research.

Abstract:

Si bien el carácter interdisciplinario de la toponimia da lugar a una práctica en la cual diversas disciplinas participan, no se debe dejar de lado el rol esencial de la lingüística, el papel medular que esta tiene o debería tener en los estudios toponímicos propiamente científicos. Esta nota resalta ese papel fundamental de la lingüística dentro del carácter interdisciplinario de la toponimia, específicamente en el área andina, a la vez que ofrece un estado de la cuestión, así como constantes ejemplos de los tipos de problemas o dificultades a los que se enfrenta el análisis toponímico y su respectiva resolución respaldada por la disciplina. De esta manera, para evitar la práctica reduccionista y simplificadora en el estudio de los nombres de lugar, se propone una metodología interdisciplinaria, pero, sobre todo, consciente de la necesidad de un enfoque lingüístico en los estudios toponímicos del área andina.
While the interdisciplinary nature of the toponymy leads to a practice in which different disciplines are involved, one should not ignore the essential role of linguistics, the central role of it or what it should have in the proper toponymic scientific studies. This paper highlights the key role of linguistics within the interdisciplinary character of the toponymy, particularly in the Andean region, while offering a state of affairs, as well as constant examples of the kinds of problems or difficulties it faces toponymic analysis and their respective discipline backed resolution. Thus, to avoid reductionist and simplistic practice in the study of toponymy, an interdisciplinary methodology is proposed, but above all, aware of the need for a linguistic focus on the Andean region scientific studies.

Abstract:

Nesta dissertação, estudamos topônimos referentes a bairros paulistanos de ocupação recente (menos de cinquenta anos) no distrito de São Miguel Paulista, em São Paulo/SP. Nos bairros Jardim Lapena, Vila Nair e Vila União, buscamos analisar as políticas públicas relativas à nomeação de logradouros e a forma como a comunidade a recebe, além de identificar a origem desses topônimos, tanto os oficiais quanto os paralelos. Para isso, não realizamos a análise do modo tradicional (com base nas taxionomias toponímicas), mas entrevistamos oito pessoas idosas moradoras da região desde o início de sua ocupação e analisamos os conteúdos dessas entrevistas juntamente com outras fontes, como cartografia e legislação de diferentes épocas, de acordo com a metodologia do projeto Memória toponímica de São Paulo: bairro a bairro, no qual este trabalho se insere tematicamente. Também esteve presente em nossa análise o papel das lembranças dos velhos para a recuperação da memória toponímica da cidade e a problemática da delimitação dos bairros em São Paulo. Ao término da pesquisa, pudemos observar a importância dos antigos moradores dos bairros para o resgate de topônimos espontâneos que se perderam com o tempo. Oficiais ou não em outros tempos, esses logradouros foram posteriormente nomeados pelo poder público com antropotopônimos ou com topônimos originários do Banco de Nomes da Prefeitura Municipal de São Paulo, em ambos os casos sem nenhuma consulta aos cidadãos moradores da localidade. Desse modo, os resultados dessa pesquisa apontam a urgente necessidade de se rediscutir as formas de nomeação de logradouros na cidade.
In this dissertation, we study toponyms in neighborhoods of recent occupation (less than fifty years) in the district of São Miguel Paulista, São Paulo. In Jardim Lapena, Vila Nair, and Vila União neighborhoods, we aimed at analysing public policies concerning official naming of public places and how the community experiences it, as well as at identifying the origins of both official and parallel toponymy. To that end, we did not perform the analysis in the traditional way (based on toponymic taxonomies), but interviewed eight elderly people who have lived in the region since the beginning of its occupation and analysed the contents of these interviews as well as other sources, such as cartography and legislation from different eras, in accordance with the project methodology Memória toponímica de São Paulo: bairro a bairro, in which this work fits thematically. Our work also presented the role of the elderly reminiscences for the recovery of toponymic memory of the city as well as the problem of neighborhood delimitation in São Paulo. At the end of the study, we observed the importance of the neighborhood former residents to the retaking of spontaneous place names that have been lost over time. Official or not in the past, these public places were subsequently renamed by the government either with anthropotoponyms or with toponyms from the Banco de Nomes da Prefeitura Municipal de São Paulo, in both cases without any consultation with the local resident citizens. Thus, the results of this research point to the urgent need to reconsider the ways of naming public places in the city.

Abstract:

A comparação entre os dados levantados a partir das cartas geográficas do município de Promissão e os dados históricos aponta para uma relação entre as escolhas toponímicas e a construção da identidade do grupo que primeiro se instalou no local. Por isso, investigamos em que medida o topônimo enquanto termo de uma linguagem de especialidade cumpre o papel, se não de construtor, de elemento de externalização dessa identidade. A seleção da localidade se justifica por sua pouca expressividade junto aos moradores da capital, apesar da importância desse município no processo de desenvolvimento do estado rumo ao Noroeste após a construção da estrada de ferro Noroeste do Brasil e também sua participação na Revolução de 32, enviando combatentes e servindo de pouso para aqueles que vinham do Mato Grosso. A estação de trem de Promissão foi desativada, mas a cidade se mantém próspera, o que chama a atenção. Os objetivos desta pesquisa são: contribuir com o Projeto ATESP e o projeto Atlas das Cidades, a partir da inserção do município de Promissão no levantamento toponímico panorâmico do estado de São Paulo; manter viva a história do lugar e das pessoas que ali chegaram e tanto contribuíram para o desenvolvimento da região Noroeste do estado e para os movimentos políticos da capital de São Paulo; oferecer à população local e ao público em geral um documento científico que dê conta da história do município e apresente a relação entre suas escolhas toponímicas e a realidade sociocultural e lingüística dos habitantes no momento da nomeação; e verificar a validade da definição dos topônimos como produtos e construtores do self grupal. Os métodos aplicados à coleta dos dados, classificação dos topônimos e análise são os propostos por Dick (1999) e praticados no Projeto ATESP. A Planta da Cidade de Promissão: perímetro urbano (escala 1:5.000) foi a base para o levantamento dos topônimos, posteriormente classificados de acordo com as taxionomias propostas por Dick (1990). Os dados históricos foram coletados a partir de livros de autores regionais, documentos municipais pesquisados junto às prefeituras e câmaras municipais de Penápolis e Promissão, livro do tombo da igreja matriz e entrevistas com moradores.
The comparison between data gathered from the maps of the city of Promissão and the historical database leads to a relation between the toponymic choices and the identity construction of the first group to settle there. Therefore we investigate in what level the toponym as a term of specialty language plays the role of the externalization element of this identity, if not that of the constructor. The place choice is justified by its little expressivity concerning the capital habitants, despite the importance of the city in the States development process toward the Northeast after the construction of the Noroeste do Brasil railway and also the citys participation in the 1932 Revolution, sending combatants and serving as a temporary home for those who came from Mato Grosso. The Promissão Station was deactivated, but the city keeps its prosperity, which calls some attention. The objectives of this research are: contribute to Projeto ATESP and the Atlas das Cidades project with the insertion of the city of Promissão in the panoramic toponymic studies of the State of São Paulo; preserve the history of the place and the people who arrived there and contributed so much to the development of the area and to the politic movements of the capital of São Paulo; provide local population and general public with a scientific document that addresses the history of the city and presents the relation between its toponymic choices and the sociocultural and linguistic reality of the habitants in the choosing of names; verify the value of defining toponyms as products and constructors of group self. The methods applied to the data collecting, toponyms classification and analysis are those proposed by Dick (1999) and practiced at Projeto ATESP. The Planta da Cidade de Promissão: perímetro urbano (1:5.000 scale) was the base to the gathering of toponyms, further classified according to the taxonomies proposed by Dick (1990). The historical database was collected from books by regional authors, city documents researched in the City Halls of Penápolis and Promissão, Mother Churchs Book and interviews with members of the population.

Abstract:

A região do Vale do Ribeira, ao sul do Estado de São Paulo, abriga a maior concentração de remanescentes de Mata Atlântica do Brasil. O Parque Estadual Turístico do Alto Ribeira, Petar, entre os municípios de Iporanga e Apiaí, representa parte significativa desse bioma. Inserida nesse ambiente de mata preservada existe uma população que luta pelo resgate de sua história e identidade étnico-cultural. A nomenclatura toponímica, objeto desta pesquisa, determina significações atribuídas pelos grupos humanos que ocupam ou ocuparam a região configurando territorialidades específicas marcadas, principalmente, pelas comunidades rurais: grupos quilombolas que vivem na região desde os primórdios da colonização e pequenos agricultores que trabalham a terra para garantir a subsistência de sua família e da comunidade. Há, ainda, uma pequena comunidade urbana constituída, principalmente, por antigos moradores bastante identificados com as especificidades do lugar assim como grupos mais recentes ligados às atividades de pesquisa, turismo e espeleologia, grupos estes constituídos em função do Petar. Optou-se pela análise dos nomes de lugar levando-se em consideração as camadas toponímicas fundamentadas na historiografia da região, posto que as camadas explicariam as relações que, em diferentes épocas, o homem manteve com o lugar, pontuando interações importantes da população local com o ambiente: a primeira camada é marcada pela comunidade indígena que ocupava a região antes da chegada dos colonizadores europeus; a segunda está relacionado à chegada dos colonizadores, está implícita, nesse contexto, a comunidade negra que é decisiva na conquista dos territórios do Alto Ribeira, e a terceira relaciona-se à nova configuração da região como área de preservação ambiental e a constituição das Unidades de Conservação. As alterações ocorridas no espaço espelham as modificações que aconteceram na estrutura socioeconômica da comunidade e, consequentemente, estão refletidas na relação significante/significado do signo toponímico. Nesse sentido, o topônimo seria um elemento importante na constituição do conceptus do lugar. Seguiu-se a metodologia do Projeto ATESP, coordenado por Dick (1999), que tem por objetivo definir as origens dialetais e motivadoras das ocorrências toponomásticas do Estado de São Paulo. O Plano de Manejo do Parque Estadual Turístico do Alto Ribeira-Petar foi a base para o levantamento dos topônimos. Os dados históricos foram coletados em livros de vários autores, na prefeitura de Iporanga e, principalmente, em trabalhos acadêmicos desenvolvidos em universidades. Além disso, para que se pudesse compreender a complexidade do entorno do Petar, várias visitas ao local foram realizadas.
Vale do Ribeira region, southern São Paulo, has the largest concentration of remaining Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Alto Ribeira Tourist State Park, Petar, between the municipalities of Iporanga and Apiaí represents a significant part of this biome. Inserted in this preserved forest environment there is a population who fights for the recovery of its history and ethno-cultural identity. Toponymic nomenclature, object of this research, determines meanings assigned by groups of people who occupy or occupied the region, setting specific territorialities marked mainly by rural communities: Maroons groups living in the region since the early days of colonization and small farmers who work the land for ensure the survival of their family and community. There is also a small urban community mainly consisting of ancient residents heavily identified with place specifics as well as newer groups linked to research activities, tourism and speleology, such groups constituted because of Petar. We decided for the analysis of place names taking into account toponymic layers grounded in the historiography of the region, since these layers explain the relations at different times man had with the place, drawing attention to important interactions of local population with the environment. The first layer is marked by the indigenous community who occupied the region before the arrival of European settlers; the second is related to the arrival of settlers, and has implicit the African community, decisive in the conquest of Alto Ribeira territories; the third is about the new configuration of the region as an area of environmental preservation and the establishment of Protected Areas. Changes in the space reflect the changes that happened in the socioeconomic structure of the community, consequently appearing in the signifier/signified relation inside the toponymic sign. In this regard, Toponym would be an important element in the constitution of the conception of the place. It was followed ATESP Project methodology, coordinated by Dick (1999), which aims to define dialectal origins and motivating occurrences in Toponomastics in São Paulo State. The Management Plan for Alto Ribeira Tourist State Park Petar was the basis for toponymic survey. Historical data were collected in various authors books, in Iporanga City Hall, and especially in academic papers developed at universities. Furthermore, so that one could understand the complexity surrounding the Petar, it was done several visits to Petar.

Abstract:

This essay examines large-scale cultural developments in Peru’s north central highlands during the 1st millennium AD, with an emphasis on their implications for ancient language use and spread. Áncash is of special interest because of its long history of research, central geographic position in northern Perú, diversity in archaeological cultures, and the presence of a series of languages, many now extinct. During the 1st millennium, cultural interaction between north highland groups and their neighbors was very prominent during the beginning and the end of the Early Intermediate Period. The end of the Middle Horizon also saw intensive interaction and cultural transformations. The paper ends with a trial, interdisciplinary study to examine the archaeological traces of the Culle language. It compares the distributions of material artifacts, architecture and toponyms of archaeological sites, and finds there is a reasonable, if imperfect, fit between the data.
En el presente trabajo se analizan los desarrollos culturales de gran escala en la sierra norcentral del Peru durante el primer milenio d.C., con énfasis en sus implicancias para el uso y dispersión de las lenguas antiguas. La región de Áncash es de un interés especial debido a su larga historia de investigaciones, su ubicación geográfica, la diversidad en las culturas arqueológicas y la presencia de una serie de lenguas, muchas de ellas hoy extintas. En esa etapa, específicamente entre el inicio y el final del Periodo Intermedio Temprano, la interacción cultural entre los grupos de la sierra norte y sus vecinos fue muy importante. El término del Horizonte Medio también fue testigo de una interacción intensiva y transformaciones culturales. Esta contribución concluye con un ensayo interdisciplinario con el objeto de examinar los rasgos arqueológicos de la lengua culle. Se comparan las distribuciones de artefactos materiales, arquitectura y topónimos de sitios arqueológicos y se ha logrado determinar que hay una correspondencia razonable, si bien imperfecta, entre los datos.

Abstract:

La médiation toponymique est l’un des ensembles relationnels qui font une terre habitée, ici le Québec et l’Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick. Trois souches linguistiques principales y ont déployé les lieux : l’autochtone, la française, l’anglaise. Les motifs de dénomination reliés à la propriété et la fréquentation, l’appartenance et l’événement, l’expérience directe et l’honorifique fondent la résonance des noms et de la terre. Les noms de lieux constituent un héritage à vivre et à transmettre. Corps, cœur et esprit alimentent une toponymie affective et sensible qui ressortit aux visions et perceptions du milieu naturel, s’exprime par l’anthroponynie (possessive et honorifique) et la consécration culturelle, imprègne la dynamique des changements de noms. En est une illustration le débat identitaire dans le contexte des fusions municipales au Québec. La dimension spécifiquement sémantique de la toponymie affective et sensible a permis d’établir trois grandes classes thématiques : empreintes possessives et identitaires, sens et sensations, ambiances et sentiments. Des profils régionaux apparaissent au Québec et des profils de comtés en Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick ; une toponymie des bonheurs et des malheurs se dessine. De cette mise en parallèle du Québec et de l’Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick, il ressort des types toponymiques fortement contrastés qui témoignent de leur histoire politique respective et du rôle des autorités institutionnelles en la matière
The toponymic mediation is one of the systems of relationships, which compose an inhabited land, here Quebec and Acadia of New Brunswick. Three main linguistic stems have influenced the construction of places : the autochthonous one, the French one and the English one. Denomination in relationship with property and socializing, belonging and event, direct experience and honours make the names resound with the earth. The place names offer an inheritance to live with and transmit. Body, heart and mind nourish an affective and sensitive toponymy, which relies on visions and perceptions of the environment. It expresses itself through anthroponymy (possessive and honorary) and through cultural consecration ; it influences the dynamics of changing names. An illustration of that is the debate on identity in the context of municipal mergers in Quebec. The specifically semantic dimension of affective and sensitive toponymy establishes three great thematic categories : imprints of possession and identity, senses and sensations, atmospheres and feelings. Regional profiles appear in Quebec and profiles of counties in Acadia of New Brunswick : it outlines a toponymy of happiness and sorrow. Very contrasted toponymic types stand out from this comparison between Quebec and Acadia of New Brunswick ; they testify to the respective political history of both regions and to the role of institutional authorities

L'objectif de la thèse consiste à analyser les modes de signifiance du nom propre dans les œuvres de M.Mammeri, Y. Kateb et J-M-G Le Clézio. La première partie porte sur les lieux communs du propre. La tradition, l'école envisagée dans le contexte colonial et la civilisation techniciste peuvent constituer des sources d'aliénation du nom. Aussi se transforment-ils souvent en lieux de tensions idéologiques qui se traduisent dans le conflit entre les enfants et les pères, le colonisé et le colonisateur. Pour parer à ce défaut d'être, les écrivains vont opérer un retour au lieu. C'est l'objet de la deuxième partie qui est consacrée à la reconquête symbolique du propre. Les lieux vont jouer un rôle déterminant dans la vie des personnages et seront intimement liés à leur destin et à leur nom. La troisième partie, placée sous le signe de l'écriture,vise à penser le nom dans une option radicale en tant que moyen dans la quête de l'absolu

Abstract:

Este trabalho trata da toponímia do município de Barra do Garças, microrregião do Médio Araguaia, 520, mesorregião 128, leste mato-grossense. A análise se restringiu aos topônimos apresentados no Mapa Municipal Estatístico, do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, escala 1: 100.000 e na Base Topográfica dos Municípios de Mato Grosso, escala 1:100.000 disponibilizados pelo Instituto de Terras de Mato Grosso. O trabalho segue a linha metodológica do ATB, proposta e coordenada por Dick (1989) e (1994) consubstanciado em Diretórios de Pesquisa apresentados ao CNPq. O objetivo principal da pesquisa de acordo com a proposta do ATB, é levantar as ocorrências léxico-toponímicas registradas cartograficamente (mapas, estaduais, municipais, do IBGE) analisá-las do ponto de vista lingüístico (estruturas gramaticais ou morfológicas e lexias semânticas), histórico, geográfico. Essa atividade de análise levará ao estabelecimento dos campos semânticos em função toponímica e, conseqüentemente, a explicações das taxes compatíveis do ponto de vista terminológico.
This study analyzes the toponymy of the county of Barra do Garças, in the Eastern part of the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil, which is situated in the micro-region of the Araguaia River Basin denominated 520, and meso-region 128. The research was restricted to the toponymy presented on the statistical map produced by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), scale 1:100.000, and on the Topographic Base of the counties of the State of Mato Grosso. Both sources were made available by the Mato Grosso Land Institute. The stydy was conducted in the methodology proposed by ATB, which was developed and is coordinated by Dick (1989 and 1994), and that has been consubstantiated in the Research Directories presented to CNPq. The main objective of the research is to find the lexical-toponymic occurrences that are cartographically registered (state and county maps by IBGE), and analyze them from a linguistic (grammatical or morphological structures and semantic lexis), historical, and geographical point of view. The analysis will help To establish the semantic fields in toponymic function, and consequently, will explain the compatible taxis from the terminological point of view.

Abstract:

O signo toponímico, cuja característica principal é a identificação de um determinado espaço, estabelecendo uma significação, em certos contextos, pode destacar traços do espaço referido, evidenciando uma iconicidade toponímica (DICK, 1990). Este estudo de caso examina, sob estes aspectos, topônimos da Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, por meio da aplicação dos modelos teóricos e metodológicos propostos por Dick no projeto Atlas Toponímico do Brasil (ATB). Considerando o contexto regional, foram selecionados 108 topônimos que designam sítios turísticos na área conhecida como Circuito do Diamante, onde estão situadas as principais cidades que, no final do século XIX, emergiram com a mineração e que, hoje, figuram como as cidades históricas de destaque no circuito turístico local: Andaraí, Lençóis, Mucugê e Palmeiras. Considerando o topônimo um traço cultural, a descrição dos ambientes físico e social é observada, com apresentação dos caracteres geográficos e dos ciclos históricos que se sucederam desde as fundações destes núcleos populacionais. A catalogação dos topônimos, em fichas lexicográfico-toponímicas (DICK, 2004), dispõe o tratamento lingüístico do corpus e acrescenta informações extralingüísticas que concorrem à compreensão dos mecanismos motivadores das nomeações. Os signos toponímicos são analisados em suas categorias semânticas e em suas propriedades icônicas.
The toponymic sign, which main characteristic is the identification of a certain location that establishes meaning, in some contexts, may emphasize some referred location features, bringing to light a kind of toponymic iconicity (DICK, 1990). The present case study explores, on these aspects, toponyms from Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, on the theoretical and methodological models presented by Dick in Atlas Toponímico do Brasil (ATB). By taking the regional context into consideration, 108 toponyms designating tour sites have been chosen from the Diamond Circuit area, where the main late 19th Century cities of Andaraí, Lençóis, Mucugê, and Palmeiras, that emerged due to mining and nowadays are important historic cities in the regional touristic circuit, are located. Having toponym as a cultural trace, physical and social environments description is performed, presenting geographic and historical cycles information, since these people settlement. The toponyms cataloging using lexigraphictoponymic forms (DICK, 2004) defines the linguistic treatment of the corpus and adds extralinguistic data, which help the understanding of naming motivation mechanisms. Toponymic signs are analyzed by their semantic categories and iconic properties
