  • Progress in Colour Studies 2012: List of Abstracts
    Progress in Colour Studies 2012: List of abstracts Keynote lecture Prehistoric Colour Semantics: a Contradiction in Terms C. P. Biggam, University of Glasgow, UK The term prehistory indicates a time before written records, so how can we possibly understand the colour systems of prehistoric peoples? This paper will attempt to make a case, in relation to the distant past of the Indo-European family, that it is possible to provide a reasonable ‘reconstruction’ of certain concepts in languages for which there have been no living native speakers for many centuries. The argument will be presented that there are several disparate strands of evidence, all of them fragmentary, which can be brought together and viewed against the background of certain techniques and hypotheses employed by anthropologists, historical linguists, psychologists and archaeologists. The discussion will include indications, hints and evidence from the following: the colour systems of modern languages; colour category prototypes; the known techno-economic advances of prehistoric peoples; the identification of cognates in related languages; linguistic ‘primitives’; relative chronology; relative basicness; and the earliest Indo-European texts. It is hoped that the paper will provide a convincing argument that, because colour concepts can be approached from so many directions, this field provides one of the best chances we have to glimpse the workings of prehistoric minds.

Dingwall, venue for the SPNS‟s Autumn conference, is at the head of the Cromarty Firth, the sunlit water in the distance. The complex history of place-naming in this area is epitomised by the names for Dingwall itself. This is from Old Norse Þingvöllr, „assembly field‟, testifying to its importance under Norse rule. The Gaelic Inbhir Pheofharain is formed of the usual Gaelic word for a river mouth and a P-Celtic stream name (cf. Welsh pefr, „radiant, beautiful‟), also found at several other places in eastern Scotland as far south as the Peffer Burns and Peffermill in Lothian, as well as Peover in Cheshire. Those attending the conference may learn of the story behind an unofficial Gaelic name, Baile Chàil, „cabbage town‟.

David concluded the word was of Aboriginal origin (from the Wiradjuri language); however, he also explored the notion that it was derived from Scottish kyle ‘narrow strait, sound channel between two islands or an island and the mainland’ (Gaelic caol). This view has had some currency: the Queensland Department of Environment and Resource Management notes on its placename website that Cowal Creek Caption in Cape York is named after Cowal Creek in NSW and that cowal ‘is of Scottish origin and is not Aboriginal’. 1 Figure 1: Dead Dog Cogie in flood, 2007 (photo: Jan Johnson) I recently stumbled upon a similar conundrum when I started some research on the There are several indigenous terms used as generics in syntax of Australian toponyms.

  • Place-Name Research in Community Initiatives
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Glasgow Unit of Assessment: D28B – Modern Languages and Linguistics: Celtic Studies Title of case study: Place-name research supports local investment and community initiatives 1. Summary of the impact (indicative maximum 100 words) The University of Glasgow has a strong research base in place-names. Our research has supported local organisations develop and make funding bids to Heritage Landscape Partnerships in Scotland for funds in excess of £4 million. These and related projects included a variety of research-led educational activities around place-names, which gave communities a sense of ownership of their landscape and created local history resources that are widely available both to academics and the general public. 2. Underpinning research (indicative maximum 500 words) Since 2006 the University of Glasgow has been leading research into place-names in Scotland. This built on earlier place-name work by Thomas Clancy (1995; 2003), which built significant research capacity in place-name studies in the UoA. The University of Glasgow’s leadership of place-name research has come through research outputs including major books, articles and websites; steering roles in professional and other associations; and most importantly through three major externally funded research projects: ‘The expansion and contraction of Gaelic in medieval Scotland: the onomastic evidence’ AHRC project 2006-10 (PI Clancy; RAs Taylor, Márkus; c.£450,000 pre-fEC; Final Report rated ‘Outstanding’). ‘Scottish Toponymy in Transition: Progressing County Surveys of the Place-Names of Scotland’ AHRC project 2011-14 (PI Clancy; Co-I Hough in English Language; RAs Taylor, McNiven, Williamson; £725,800).

  • Analytical Tools for Toponymy: Their Application to Scottish Hydronymy
    Analytical Tools for Toponymy: Their Application to Scottish Hydronymy Jacob King MSc. A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Edinburgh 2008 i I declare that this thesis is entirely my own work. Jacob King 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.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Theses - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract: In this thesis, I seek to wed my experiences of activism, scholarship, and Pagan witchcraft community together through storied theory, in order to give an honest account of my own transformation through both scholarship and community action. I do this for many reasons. Because I want to honor the Queer interracial organizing community who saw me, built me up, opened my eyes and inspired in me an ethic of accountability and critical analysis of the world around me. Because I want to heed the call of scholars like Lisa Flores, Langford and Speight, Nakayama and Krizek to engage in reflexive scholarly praxes that explicitly seek to interrogate and disrupt colonialism and racism within the academy. Because I have felt so lonely and desperate in my search for a spiritual practice that resonates with me and doesn’t steal, erase, or perpetuate violence against Black, Indigenous, and People of Color Communities.

  • The Place-Names Around King's Seat, Dunkeld
    The place-names around King’s Seat, Dunkeld: a short survey for Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust www.nls.uk Peter McNiven Hillfoots Research December 2017 1 Contents Introduction 3 Dunkeld: Importance and early history 4 King’s Seat 5 Language and content of the place-names 6 The place-names around King’s Seat, Dunkeld 7 Bibliography 12 2 Place-name Survey around King’s Seat, Dunkeld Introduction The study looks at a small selection of place-names around King’s Seat. Two training days looking into the place-names around the hill were held on 28th and 29th of August, and it was at these and through discussions with the Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust team that the shape of the survey was largely determined. The place-names and relevant discussion are laid out in detail below. Place-names matter. If there are any doubts about that statement, imagine trying to travel anywhere in the world without them; try booking flight from 55°57'00" N, 003°22'21" W to 51°28'39" N, 000°27'41" W. How much simpler is it to say you want to go from Edinburgh Airport to London Heathrow? For most of us place-names are merely words, often incomprehensible, on maps or road- signs indicating where a place is in the world. Some place-names have special resonance for people; for example, their home town or village, a place where they spent a special holiday or occasion, or perhaps they just delight in the sound of the name – many Scots like how ‘Scottish’ places such as Auchtermuchty or Ecclefechan sound, and can take great delight in their mispronunciation by non- Scots speakers.
