Namenzwillinge und ‑mehrlinge in der Toponymie: Am Beispiel von Deutschschweizer Ortsnamen
Full text linkNot all place names are unique, and certain place names are – or used
to be – name twins or even name multiples. In a corpus of around 1200 place
names from German speaking Switzerland it was found that nearly a quarter of
them share the original name form with at least one other name (etymological
or primary homonyms). Today, the originally identical name forms are either
the same or differ from each other. A smaller part of the corpus consists of
place names that show the same name form today but derive from different original
name forms (secondary homonyms). This article explores the possibility of
classifying place names according to the concept of homonymy, which is familiar
primarily in relation to common nouns and has not been examined with regard
to place names before. As a first step, the place names were classified into types
of homonymy (total or partial homonymy). Subsequently, the processes that lead
from the original name form to today’s name form – either parallel to or different
from each other – were investigated and characterized. The aim was to explore
the influencing factors affecting the development of the name forms. It was found
that the geographical distance between the places involved can have a major
influence on the development of the names. However, phonological processes,
writing conventions in administration, morphology and folk etymology also
play an important role
Thietmars Medeburu(n) und ‚mel prohibe‘: Neues zum Oikonym Magdeborn in direktem linguistischen Zugriff und über eine Meta-Deutung: (Unter Einbeziehung der ukrivolsa-Anekdote und der rätselhaften provincia Nice)
Full text linkThe author proposes a new interpretation of the history of the name
of the former Saxon village and historical burgward Magdeborn. First, the endings
-/- of , as Thietmar von Merseburg writes in his
chronicle of 1012/1018, get a new explanation as *-ow or *-own. Second, it seems
that both a linguistic and extralinguistic analysis of the obviously false interpretation
of the Old Sorbian place name quoted by the chronicler himself may show
the history of the place name in a new light. It is guessed that the chronicler
had misunderstood the narrative about the name of the castle. A detailed analysis
is offered of two other cases – the persiflage of the Kyrie eleison by Slavs
as ukrivolsa and the mysterious provincia Nice – in which Thietmar seems to
approach certain facts and their narration with a similar lack of comprehension.
In conclusion, it is assumed that an earlier form of the oikonym Magdeborn was
a semantically plural term: *Medobori or *Medoborьje, meaning ‚honey pine
forest(s)‘. The two basic hypotheses about the oldest history of the name enable
to think of a development from a plural regional name to an adjectival oikonym
derived from the first. A third hypothesis goes still further in assuming that
the name *Medobori or *Medoborьje had been developed from *Medjiborьje/
*Medziborьje, ‚among pine forests‘
From proper names to common nouns Italian ‑ismo/‑ista and Ancient Greek ‑ismós/‑istḗs formations
Full text linkThis study aims to investigate if there is a specific grammar for proper names, in particular in the field of morphology, or more precisely, in nominal derivation. We will concentrate on a class of derived nouns in a language with an open corpus, i.e. Italian (from now on It.), and in a language with a closed corpus, i.e. Ancient Greek (from now on AG). At stake here are the nouns formed from proper names with the suffixes -ismo/‑ista in Italian and respectively with ‑ismós/‑istḗs in AG. In both languages, these suffixes are highly productive (see below Section 3). Furthermore, they combine not only with proper names but also with common nouns, adjectives and other lexical categories

Zu den Ortsnamen Dürrmenz, Dormans und anklingenden
Full text linkZugegeben, die älteren Ortsnamen im deutschen Südwesten zeugen nicht von allzu großer Kreativität. Zwischen -ingen und -heim mischt sich hie und da ein -bronn oder ein -hausen. Umso interessanter erscheinen jene Ortsnamen, die bereits frühmittelalterlich belegt sind, aber keine typische Endung für diese Zeit zeigen. Ein solcher Ortsname liegt für den Ort Dürrmenz in der Nähe von Pforzheim vor. Er ist heute ein Teilort der Stadt Mühlacker, war jedoch bis ins 19. Jahrhundert der Hauptort seiner Gemeinde
