Conference 'L’onomàstica de la Torre de l’Espanyol, l’inventari'
Conference 7: Wednesday 6th October
4 - 5:30 pm. Conference 'L’onomàstica de la Torre de l’Espanyol, l’inventari' (Onomastics in Torre de l'Espanyol: the Inventory).
Conference given by Sílvia Veà Vila.
Abstract: Producing onomastic inventories is an urgent task today. With the move away from tilling the land in favour of other work, oral transmission of placenames is stifled and most toponyms could disappear alongside the last people who harvest the local lands. For this reason, work needs to get underway to collect and commit to paper all information at risk of disappearing shortly if nothing is done. This information is not just related to a few names, but rather refers to our language, landscape, history, society, worldview and a long list of other diverse areas of knowledge.
Onomàstica de la Torre de l’Espanyol, winner of the first Ramon Amigó i Anglès Research Award (2016-2018), came from a desire to preserve toponyms and anthroponyms in towns and cities in Catalan-speaking regions.
This presentation will look at how to produce an onomastic inventory, the work that the Ramón Amigó i Anglès Research Award wishes to develop and some of the toponyms and anthroponyms collected in the town of Torre de l'Espanyol, in Ribera d'Ebre county.

Conference 'Inventaris onomàstics als Països Catalans. Estat de la qüestió'
Conference 5: Wednesday 23rd June
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.

Conference 'Els prenoms catalans, entre la tradició antroponímica i la innovació onomàstica'
Conference 4: Wednesday 26th May
4 - 5:30 pm. Conference 'Els prenoms catalans, entre la tradició antroponímica i la innovació onomàstica' (Catalan First Names: From Anthroponymic Tradition to Onomastic Innovation).
Conference given by Albert Turull Rubinat.
Abstract: The presentation will offer a global overview of the historical evolution and current reality of one of the core types or personal names or anthroponyms: first names (also known as forenames, Christian names, etc.). This will include a semantic (transparent and opaque names, etc.) and morpho-lexical (simple, compound, derived names, etc.) linguistic typology, as well as an historical overview (etymology and original meaning of first names according to applicable historical and cultural strata). There will also be a pragmatic overview: origin, expansion and evolution of anthroponymic forms, balance (or imbalance) between historical and more modern names, local and foreign names, without overlooking current standard pet names, newly coined names, adaptations from other languages or areas (including toponymics), ambiguities (in terms of linguistic affiliation or gender), etc. with regard to current first names within Catalan-speaking areas.

Conference 'Els cognoms de les Illes Balears. Aproximació històrica i lingüística'
Conference 3: Wednesday 28th April
Abstract: Traditional Balearic surnames mostly originate with the settlers who repopulated the islands after the Catalan conquests of 1229, (Majorca), 1235 (Ibiza) and 1287 (Minorca). At the time of repopulation (13th and 14th centuries), the process of establishing surnames was culminating, with all of them coming from monikers that were common across the population of the time, especially from the 11th century onwards. The monikers that became surnames could be toponymic (indicating the origins of the bearers or their ancestors), patronymic (referring to their father's name), trade names or descriptive terms. Some Balearic surnames were formed on the islands themselves, especially those referring to island toponyms, whilst others were added with the arrival of Italian, French, English and Spanish migrants. In turn, other interesting phenomena include gender inflection or the creating of toponyms based on surnames.
Conference given by Gabriel Bibiloni Cañellas.

Conférence "Les noms donnés aux enfants trouvés en Wallonie à la charnière des 18e et 19e siècles"
Lundi 21 janvier 2019
Les noms donnés aux enfants trouvés en Wallonie à la charnière des 18e et 19e siècles
L'abandon des enfants atteint un paroxysme à la fin de l'Ancien Régime et au début du 19e siècle. Le phénomène est surtout urbain. Les quatre grandes villes de Wallonie (Liège, Namur, Mons, Tournai) servent de base comparative à l'étude.
Sous l'Ancien Régime, on donnait soit un nom unique qui tenait lieu à la fois de prénom et de nom, soit un surnom qui rappelait les conditions de sa découverte. Sous le Régime français, le statut juridique des enfants abandonnés va être régi d'abord par la loi des 15-25 pluviôse an XIII puis par le décret du 19 janvier 1811 ; ce dernier aura une influence considérable sur le mode d'attribution des noms en Belgique, bien après le rattachement de nos départements à la France. À partir de 1812, des stratégies particulières sont mises en place. À Namur, le fonctionnaire recourt systématiquement au Dictionnaire de Moreri ; de même à Tournai avec le recours à des noms de l'antiquité grecque. Mons se montre plus inventif dans le choix de surnoms.
Quelle postérité pour ces noms d'enfants trouvés ? D'après quelques sondages, le nombre de ces noms, malgré leur caractère artificiel, représente un pourcentage non négligeable du corpus des noms de famille en Belgique.
