Margit Harsson (1943-2021)

 It is with great sadness that I learned of the recent death of Professor Margit Harsson. She passed away on the 3rd June, just a few days before her 78th birthday.

She worked in the Department of Onomastics (Seksjon for navnegransking) at the University of Oslo from 1989 until her retirement in 2013. From the 1990s, she published the series Bustadnavn i Østfold together with her colleague Tom Schmidt. In that project, they examined the building and house names in Østfold county. In 2010, she published her large Encyclopaedia of Street Names with ending -rud, a work based on the longstanding Harsson's study of place names.

In 2011, Margit Harsson received an honorary prize of SEK 70 000 from the Jöran Sahlgren Prize Fund. The latter rewards outstanding scholarly achievements in Nordic place-name, dialect or folklore research. The fund is running under the aegis of the Royal Gustavus Adolphus Academy for Swedish Folk Culture. This supreme prize was given for an outstanding contribution of Margit to the Norwegian Onomastics and Toponymy.

Toponym-based maps in the Atlas of Poland's Political Geography

 

The toponyms to be mapped in the Atlas of Poland's Political Geography are the place names formed from personal names (first names, surnames or nicknames). They constitute the most numerous group of toponyms occurring in Poland. These names comprise in their base an anthroponym indicating the first owner, settler, founder of a given locality or a person closely related to that locality.

Characteristic endings of such place names correspond to possessive forms of Slavonic adjectives: -ow, -ów, -ew, -owo, -owa, -ewo, -ewa. The List records 7645 names ending in -ów, 704 in -ew, 4957 in -owo, 1644 in -owa, 1938 in -ewo, and 18 names ending in -ewa.

Localities that belonged to women were usually named in such a way that the suffix -in was added to the basis of the woman's personal name (e.g. Adelin). This kind of suffixes include -ina, -ino, -yna, -yno (e.g. Biedulina, Smęcino, Niemierzyno) - they often occur in the northwestern part of the country, especially those ending in -ino, -yno.

In Poland, we can find 1468 names ending in -ina, -yna and 842 ending in -ino, -yno. Place names ending in -ina, -yna are scattered throughout Poland, with the highest concentration in the Lesser Poland region, similarly to toponyms ending in -owa. On the other hand, as can be seen on the presented maps, names with the suffix -ów are concentrated mainly in the southern part of Poland, while names ending in -owo, -ewo are distributed in the northern part of the country.

В КАЗНУ ПРОШЛА КОНФЕРЕНЦИЯ «УЧЕНЫЙ ТЕЛГОЖА ЖАНУЗАК И ВОПРОСЫ ОНОМАСТИКИ»

 ссылка

Казахском национальном университете имени Аль-Фараби прошла научная конференция, посвященная 95-летнему юбилею известного тюрколога, видного представителя казахского языкознания, профессора Жанузака Телгожа, организатором которого выступила Международная Тюркская академия.

Президент Международной Тюркской академии Дархан Кыдырали в своей речи раскрыл суть и значение научного творчества известного ученого.

В своем выступлении руководитель организации отметил, что крылатая фраза «Названия земных и водных географических объектов – это письма истории» посвящена глубокому содержанию фундаментальных научных трудов мастера языкознания Телгожа Жанузака. Будучи одним из основоположников отечественной ономастической науки, он внес большой вклад в развитие данной отрасли как отдельной дисциплины».

Во время встречи и. о. проректора КазНУ им. Аль-Фараби по социальному развитию Алия Масалимова поздравила ученого с юбилеем и вручила специальный приз. Она отметила, что лауреат Государственной премии РК, лауреат премии АН РК имени Шокана Уалиханова, академик Академии гуманитарных наук РК Телгожа Сейдинулы сформировал фундаментальную школу в языкознании.

О неоценимом вкладе известного ученого в развитие казахского языкознания размышляли видные общественные деятели и интеллектуалы нации, такие как: известный ученый-абаевед Мекемтас Мырзахметов, директор Института литературы и искусства им. М. Ауэзова Кенжехан Матыжанов, директор Института истории и этнологии им. Ш. Уалиханова Зиябек Кабульдинов, директор Института языкознания им. А. Байтурсынова Анар Фазылжанова, директор Абайского научно-исследовательского института при КазНУ Жангара Дадебаев.

Также было отмечено, что выдающийся ученый провел углубленные исследования в таких областях науки, как: лексикология, лексикография, терминология, ономастика, орфография, устное народное творчество и искусство перевода, написав около 500 работ. В завершение мероприятия юбиляр поблагодарил всех собравшихся за теплые слова и выразил сердечную благодарность.

К слову, ученый в 1989 году направил письмо в высшие правительственные учреждения и поставил вопрос о создании Государственной ономастической комиссии. В 1990-1998 гг. он был ученым-секретарем, в 1999-2003 гг. – членом этой комиссии, проделал большую работу на общественных началах. Фундаментальные труды Тельгожа Жанузака сегодня востребованы обществом, многие исследовательские работы стали ценным инструментом, который служит национальным интересам и широко используется в паспортных органах и учреждениях регистрации актов гражданского состояния.

Conference 'Inventaris onomàstics als Països Catalans. Estat de la qüestió'

 link

Conference 5: Wednesday 23rd June

4 - 5:30 pm. Conference 'Inventaris onomàstics als Països Catalans. Estat de la qüestió' (Onomastic Inventories in Catalan-speaking Regions: State of Play).

Conference given by Pere Navarro Gómez.

Abstract: Comprehensive municipal onomastic inventories include current and past toponyms and anthroponyms for a specific location with a view to safeguarding intangible heritage represented by the place and personal names of an area linked to specific human settlements. Comprehensive inventories come from both oral sources (through fieldwork with interviewees) and from consulting handwritten and printed documents.

Over two hundred municipal onomastic works from around Catalan-speaking regions have been put together, from the first on Sant Pere de Ribes in 1936 by Cristòfor Cardús, to the most recent on Torre de l'Espanyol in 2020 by Sílvia Veà.

The Vallès Oriental, Camp de Tarragona and Priorat stand out for their published municipal onomastic inventories. To date, all territories have municipal onomastic inventories, from Alghero to La Franja in Aragón, and from Roussillon to southern Valencia.

NatureScot has launched a new guide to the place-names of Inverness and the surrounding area

 link 

16 June 2021

NatureScot has today launched a new guide to the place-names of Inverness and the surrounding area. 

The publication celebrates the cultural and natural heritage of the Highland capital by identifying and explaining the meaning behind many of the area’s place-names.

Building on NatureScot’s successful Gaelic in the Landscape series, it draws on local knowledge to gain a richer understanding of the names that connect people to the land, environment and community.

The guide was researched and written by the award-winning local broadcaster and storyteller Roddy (Ruairidh) Maclean, whose work centres on the connections between the Gaelic language and Scotland’s environment. Roddy said: “The place-names of Inverness and its surrounds reflect the area’s variety of habitat and topography, ranging from peat-clad moorlands to gentle shorelines, and including farms, villages and features within the city’s urban landscape. As in most of the Highlands, the Gaelic language is dominant and I have attempted in the book to explain how Gaelic place-names work and to encourage locals and visitors alike to explore the language in order to appreciate the richness of our cultural heritage.”

The project also received support from Bòrd na Gàidhlig, the principal public body for promoting Gaelic development in Scotland. Steven Kellow, Funding and Projects Officer, said:  “Gaelic placenames are an important part of the heritage of the language and often what sparks an interest for people to start learning Gaelic.  We were delighted to support this project to promote the Gaelic heritage around Inverness and we are sure that this will inspire those in the area to learn the language.”

The publication can be downloaded from NatureScot’s website and a limited number of printed copies are available via the Gaelic Books Council’s website. A free virtual lecture of the research findings is scheduled for September and will be publicised in due course.

The Outer Banks Gazetteer: The History of Place Names from Carova to Emerald Isle

 by Roger L. Payne

The rich history of North Carolina's Outer Banks is reflected in the names of its towns, geographic features, and waterways. A book over twenty years in the making, The Outer Banks Gazetteer is a comprehensive reference guide to the region's place names—over 3,000 entries in all. Along the way, Roger L. Payne has cataloged an incredible history of beaches, inlets, towns and communities, islands, rivers, and even sand dunes. There are also many entries for locations that no longer exist—inlets that have disappeared due to erosion or storms, abandoned towns, and Native American villages—which highlight important and nearly forgotten places in North Carolina's history. Going beyond simply recounting the facts behind the names, Payne offers information-packed and entertainingly written stories of North Carolina, its coastal geography, and its people.

Will Nigeria Change Its Name To United African Republic?

A proposal has been submitted to change Nigeria’s name to the 'United Africa Republic' Elizabeth tells us more on this and of course what Nigerians had to say about this development on today's trend wave.

Do You Agree That Nigeria Changes Name To United African Republic?

Adeleye Jotoyoko, a tax consultant presented the proposal to the House of Reps’ Special Committee on Constitutional Review at the South West Zonal Public Hearing in Lagos,stating that the name ‘Nigeria’ was imposed on us by the past colonial masters. According to Jokotoye, he chose the ‘United African Republic’ because Nigeria is made up of hundreds of ethnic groups that need to be united.
