The Origins of Beowulf: Studies in Textual Criticism and Literary History

Neidorf, Leonard January 2014 (has links)
Beowulf is preserved in a single manuscript written out around the year 1000, but there are many reasons to believe that the poem was composed several centuries before this particular act of manual reproduction. Most significantly, the meter of Beowulf reveals that the poet regularly observed distinctions of etymological length that became phonologically indistinct before 725 in Mercia. This dissertation gauges the explanatory power of the hypothesis that Beowulf was composed about three centuries before the production of the extant manuscript. The following studies test the hypothesis of archaic composition by determining whether it is able to accommodate independent forms of evidence drawn from the fields of linguistics, textual criticism, and literary history.

Studier över bebyggelsenamn i Västerbottens län / Studies of habitative names in the county of Västerbotten

Hagervall, Claes Börje January 1986 (has links)
The thesis consists of the following papers: (1) Tre ortnamn på Spöl-. (Tre Kulturer. 2. Medlemsbokför Johan Nordlander-sällskapet tillägnad minnet av Roland Otterbjörk 1925-1984. Umeå 1985. ISSN 0281-9546.) (2) Ortnamnen i Västerbottens län. Del 14, Vännäs kommun, A Bebyggelsenamn. Umeå 1986. ISBN 91-86372-10-6. (Övre Norrlands ortnamn. ISSN 0348-7237.) (3) Studier över yngre nybyggesnamn i Västerbottens län, särskilt i Vännäs socken. Umeå 1986. ISBN 91-7174-237-9. (Nordsvenska. 2. Skrifter utgivna av Institutionen för nordiska språk vid Umeå uni­versitet. ISSN 0282-7182.) The chief aim of the thesis is to describe and etymologize the habitative names in the parish of Vännäs in the county of Västerbotten, northern Sweden. The material used consists of place-name forms recorded in the local dialects. The material forms the basis of the author's hypotheses concerning sound changes and morphological changes and the original significance of the various place-names. The hypotheses have been tested by confronting them with historical data concerning the settlement of the area, with linguistic material, with parallel place-names and with topographical data. The purpose of the third paper is to draw further conclusions about the naming of the younger settlements (i.e. settlements from the 18th and the 19th centuries) in the county of Västerbotten as a whole. To shed light on this problem a large number of similar younger habitative names in the area have been examined. The main result of this study is that a number of the second elements of these names can be considered topographically non-motivated and suffixlike. Another result is that the interference from the authorities concerning the direct naming of the young settlements is pro­bably insignificant. / digitalisering@umu

Champs associatifs des noms propres et mécanismes de la compréhension textuelle

Shokhenmayer, Evgeny 28 April 2009 (has links)
La ligne directrice du présent travail participe pour l'essentiel de la sémantique onomastique. Les fondements de la sémantique cognitive propriale reposent, dans les recherches en linguistique, sur l'hypothèse que l'unité onomastique a déjà inévitablement perdu sa singularité. Or, si les Npr constituent des signes monoréférentiels lorsqu'ils sont employés en discours, l'approche lexicologique conduit précisément à les contextualiser, en montrant comment leur contenu se construit par des déterminations successives qui permettent autant de propagations de sèmes par afférence. Les Npr relevant des domaines culturels français, russe, anglais et allemand, et par ailleurs repérés dans les dictionnaires lexicographiques, font l'objet de notre recherche. Le sujet de l'étude est la sémantique des onymes dans les micro- et macrocontextes, et leur interprétation en fonction des connaissances de l'allocutaire.L'objectif principal est de décrire les associations que l'onoma évoque chez les franco-, russo-, anglo- et germanophones, et par là, de déterminer comment les Npr sont utilisés, selon les conventions linguistico-discursives, en tant que stéréotypes culturels. Nous avons en particulier exploité les théories des onomasticiens russes sur la problématique de l'unité propriale et de sa sémantique. L'objectif fixé dans cette thèse est également de révéler les différents degrés de " propritude " et de " communitude " des Npr recatégorisés, et l'évolution des Npr à référent stéréotypé. On admet que la signification non assertive de ces unités référentiellement modifiées est constituée, de façon associative, par des représentations. Reconnaître la nature de ces représentations, c'est essayer de comprendre les processus cognitifs mis en jeu pour qu'une telle entité onymique puisse s'inscrire (d'un point de vue logique et sémantiquement) dans le discours. / The studies of Proper Names start to be very fruitful. The present work allows an illuminating insight into some of the major issues at stake in contemporary proprial semantics. In fact, one of the main implicit presuppositions underlying onomastics is a certain vacuity, or, quite the contrary, superfluity of the sense. Our purpose is to acknowledge the personal name as the linguistic sign with its meaning and sense, by recognizing the "reflecting faculty of semantics" by means of the associations and representations in the culture or a context. We bestow on onoma's dialectics a leading role in the correlation of the generalized meaning in the language and the personalized sense in the discourse, reflecting the time-varying changing world. Our Ph.D. thesis aims at a twofold task. The objective is to survey the literature on the meaning of proper names from the point of view of appellativization, that is semantic change of proper names. The second task is closely linked to this : to find a possible model for the appellativisation of proper names which is acceptable for different languages and various types of proper names; we attempt at stressing those factors which contribute to the formation of such semantic change and at exploring the general characteristics of such a change. Finally we show the characteristics of this change on a selected material of given names. Onomastic material to be analysed now was selected in a way appropriate for the illustration of significant proportions and tendencies. This helped to develop our own proposal regarding both the semantics and the pragmatics of Proper Names. According to this view a semantic theory dealing with Proper Names should account for the connotative semantics of Names, their foundational semantics, and the semantics of modal statements in which they figure. Connotative semantics focuses on the contribution a Recategorized Proper Name makes to the associative fields in which it occurs. Based on such an analysis, a semantically Modified Proper Name is assigned a psychosemantic value, which is supposed to provide us with an interpretation of that name, /deonym/. A crucial part of this task is to see just what kind of thing the associatively semantic value of a Proper Name is and how this appellativization is gradually proceed.

Onomastique de l’art culinaire en France / Onomatics of the Culinary Art in France

Faivre, Carole 14 September 2012 (has links)
La gastronomie et l'onomastique n'ont encore jamais fait l'objet d'étude, de manière conjointe, d'un point de vue linguistique. L’objectif de cette thèse est de proposer un point de départ à une réflexion sur la structure, la nature et la place du nom propre dans la gastronomie française. Pour ce faire, après avoir exposé les différentes problématiques liées à la définition des concepts de gastronomie et de nom propre, nous avons réalisé une synthèse des principaux éléments théoriques qui servent de base à la recherche sur les noms de plats, tant sous un angle linguistique, historique qu’artistique ou législatif. La nécessité d’effectuer une distinction entre appellation culinaire et dénomination gastronomique selon la place qu’occupe le nom de plat sur un axe nom propre / nom commun s’est vite imposée et pour vérifier dans quelle mesure les types de noms propres dans les noms de plats sont conditionnés par le contexte, deux sortes de corpus ont été constitués. Sera d’abord traitée l’évolution du nom propre dans la gastronomie à travers le prisme de la norme dictionnairique au cours des 70 dernières années, au moyen d'une comparaison lexicographique des deux éditions du Larousse Gastronomique (1938 et 2007). Pour ce faire, une catégorisation des noms propres relevés dans le corpus a été établie. Dans un deuxième temps, la place des noms propres dans un corpus témoignant de l’usage a été examinée, en rassemblant des menus de restaurants parisiens ainsi que des dépliants publicitaires de la restauration livrée. / Gastronomy and onomastics have never previously been the subject of a joint study from a linguistic point of view. The objective of this thesis is to provide a starting point for research on the structure, nature and place of proper names in French gastronomy. After considering the various problems related to the definition of such concepts as gastronomy and proper name, we achieved a synthesis of the main theoretical elements that form the basis for research on the names of dishes from a linguistic, artistic, historic or legislative perspective. Then, a distinction was made between culinary denomination and gastronomic designation in relation to the place of a dish name on a proper name / common name axis, although the separation between the two poles is sometimes blurred and cannot be considered to be strict. Two kinds of corpus are established in order to verify that the types of proper names in gastronomy depend on the context where dish names originate. First, the evolution of the proper name in gastronomy over the past 70 years is studied from a normative perspective through the lexical comparison of the first and the latest editions of the Larousse Gastronomique (1938 and 2007) and the establishment of a categorization of proper names. Second, proper names in a corpus reflecting the use was examined using Parisian restaurant menus and flyers advertising for food delivery. The comparison of the results for the two types of corpus will shed light on the differences, both quantitative and classificatory, in the use of proper names in a normative or in a creative context.

Příjmení, jména po chalupě a přezdívky v obci Láz / Family Names, inherited Names and Nicknames in the village Láz

DUBSKÁ, Veronika January 2015 (has links)
The topic of this thesis deals with the onomastics of the Moravian village "Láz". The main part of the exploration are the types of surnames and names after residence in Láz. The next item of interest are the nicknames appearing in the village. I got the onomastic material from the set of surnames, names by the houses and I have gained the nicknames with the help of exploratory methods through the questionnairs and dialogues. I make the analysis using of traditional clasiffication degrees. The thesis aims to make a register of official and unofficial personal names and their linguistic analysis.

Úvod do literární onomastiky / Introduction to Literary Onomastics

Dvořáková, Žaneta January 2015 (has links)
Introduction to Literary Onomastics Abstract Žaneta Dvořáková Czech onomastics has been traditionally well advanced; it has a high-quality theoretical and methodological foundation and is highly regarded internationally. However, unlike in other countries, literary onomastics as one of its disciplines still lacks sufficient attention. R. Šrámek - along with his counterparts abroad, K. Gutschmidt and W. F. H. Nicolaisen - points out its terminological and methodological inconsistency, insufficient theoretical elaboration and the problem of defining its scope of research. It is this call that I want to answer with my dissertation. The goal of my Introduction To Literary Onomastics is to provide a critical and complex summary and assessment of the current understanding of literary proper names and to further research the subject - especially by extending its scope with some new views of anthroponyms in fiction based on profound analyses of modern works of Czech and foreign literature of the 19th and 20th century. My research builds upon methodological-theoretical findings reached by the development of both Czech and foreign literary onomastics; at the same time, it draws on the latest findings of general onomastic theory. Excerpted works purposely represent a wide variety of literary genres, which allows us to...
