Szanowni Państwo, publikujemy nadesłane przez Państwa tytuły referatów wraz z abstraktami. Informujemy także, że streszczenia zostały tu umieszczone w wersji oryginalnej, przesłanej przez autorów. Prof. Zofia Abramowicz Uniwersytet w Białymstoku Synkretyzm w antroponimii żydowskich i chrześcijańskich mieszkańców Podlasia Abstrakt Artykuł jest poświęcony analizie relacji onimicznej tradycji kulturowej podlaskich wyznawców judaizmu i chrześcijaństwa oraz odzwierciedlenia krzyżowania się i zespalania różnych elementów kulturowych w antroponimii obu społeczności regionu. Wyrastające z judaizmu chrześcijaństwo przejęło wiele elementów kultury żydowskiej w różnych obszarach. Na płaszczyźnie onimicznej dotyczy to przede wszystkim starotestamentowych imion biblijnych, które tworzą wspólną warstwę zasobu imienniczego ludności żydowskiej i chrześcijańskiej (Abraham, Beniamin, Jakub, Józef, Szymon; Anna, Elżbieta, Maria i in.). Koegzystencja i współoddziaływanie obu kultur od XV wieku po wiek XX na Podlasiu prowadzi do niwelacji pewnych różnic w obszarze onimicznym, co przejawia się w funkcjonowaniu jednakowych form podstawowych imion biblijnych i pochodnych od nich form skróconych. Jeszcze silniej synkretyzm odzwierciedla się w nazwiskach Podlasian tworzonych od tych samych podstaw imiennych, toponimicznych bądź apelatywnych przy użyciu jednakowych środków derywacyjnych. Abstract The syncretism in anthroponymy of Jewish and Christian inhabitants of Podlasie The article is dedicated to relation between onimic cultural tradition of Jews and Christians from Podlasie as well as different crossing and combining cultural elements in anthroponymy of both communities. Christianity originating from Judaism inherited many elements from Jewish culture. On the onimic level it concerning especially Old Testament biblical names, which are common for both Jewish and Christian population (Abraham, Beniamin, Jakub, Józef, Szymon; Anna, Elżbieta, Maria, etc.). The coexistence and the interaction between both cultures from the 15th to 20th century on Podlasie lead to elimination some differences on onimic level. It is showed by coexisting the same basic forms of biblical names and derived from it acronyms. The syncretism is reflected especially in the surnames of the inhabitants of Podlasie derived from the same root words, toponymic or common names by using the same derivational patterns. Dr Beata Afeltowicz Uniwersytet Szczeciński Profesor Aleksandra Belchnerowska jako badaczka zachodniopomorskiej toponimii Abstrakt Zadaniem badawczym jest przygotowanie dorobku naukowego prof. Aleksandry Belchnerowskiej, która jako wieloletnia pracownica Uniwersytetu Szczecińskiego poświęciła się badaniom zachodniopomorskich nazw geograficznych. W kręgu jej zainteresowaniach badawczych znalazła się zarówno ojkonimia, jak i anojkonimia. Prof. A. Belchnerowska zajmowała się toponimią współczesną oraz historyczną – słowiańską i niemiecką – na Pomorzu Zachodnim. Abstract Professor Aleksandra Belchnerowska as a researcher of the Western Pomerania toponymy The purpose of the research is to prepare the scientific achievements of Professor. Alexandra Belchnerowska. As a long-term employee of the University of Szczecin, she was devoted to research geographical names of the Western Pomerania. She was interested in both oikonymy and anoikonymy. Professor Aleksandra Belchnerowska has been dealt with contemporary and historical – Slavic and German – toponymy of the Western Pomerania. Dr hab. Zbigniew Babik Uniwersytet Jagielloński Kraków Kraków jako pra- i staropolska nazwa topograficzna – przegląd materiału nazewniczego i nawiązań apelatywnych Abstrakt Analiza polskiego i częściowo północnosłowiańskiego materiału nazewniczego wykazuje, iż odzwierciedlono w nim kilkudziesięciokrotnie ślady prasłowiańskiego apelatywu *krak(ov)-. Z racji częstego występowania w nazewnictwie terenowym hipoteza genezy dzierżawczej lub choćby motywowanej nazwą ‘kruka’ nie jest wystarczająca. Wystąpienie przedstawia z jednej strony możliwie pełny, znacznie poszerzony w stosunku do dotychczasowych ujęć polski materiał nazewniczy oparty na „bazie” Krakow- (i Krak-), z drugiej dyskutuje porównawczy północnosłowiański (głównie wschodniosłowiański) materiał leksykalny. Przegląd realiów denotatów nazw i semantyki apelatywów jednoznacznie wskazujących na wyjściowe przedprzestawkowe *krak- nie potwierdza hipotezy J. Nalepy o hydrograficznym znaczeniu etymologicznym polskich Krakowów, wskazując raczej na nawiązania do pewnych osobliwości dendroflory. Abstract A perusal of the Polish and partly also North Slavic toponomastic stock reveals several dozens of various types of derivatives of a hypothetical Proto-Slavic appellative *krak(ov)-. Given their multiple occurrences in the microtoponymy, both the hypothesis of a possessive origin as well as that assuming a connection with the name for ‘raven’ must be regarded as insufficient. A possibly full survey of related Polish place names, considerably enlarged with respect to hitherto published syntheses, is to be presented, accompanied by a discussion of the comparative, mainly North Slavic lexical material. Analysis of both the characteristics of the topographic denotates of the names in question as well as the semantics of those appellatives which unambiguously point to a pre-liquid metathesis *krak- does not confirm J. Nalepa’s hypothesis claiming an etymological meaning of the Polish Kraków’s related to hydrography. On the contrary, it rather suggests a connection with certain peculiarities of dendroflora. Prof. Mieczysław Balowski Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza Poznań Wielokulturowość antroponimii czesko-polskiego pogranicza Abstrakt Teren pogranicza etnicznego zawsze cechuje się występowaniem przynajmniej dwóch (a z reguły większej ilości) systemów antroponimicznych, początkowo funkcjonujących obok siebie. Z czasem jednak niektóre elementy tych systemów są zastępowane lub wymieniane w zależności od czynników pozajęzykowych. Niekiedy także podstawy są modyfikowane (dotyczy to nie tylko modyfikacji ortograficznych, ale także morfologicznych). Abstract The ethnic border always characterized by the presence of at least two (usually more) anthroponomy systems, initially operating side by side. With time, however, some elements of these systems are replaced or replaced depending on the non-linguistic factors. Sometimes the basics are modified (this applies not only to modify the spelling, but also morphological). Prof. Leszek Bednarczuk Polska Akademia Umiejętności Kraków Polskie nazwy plemienne w systemie derywacji słowiańskiej Prof. nadzw. Urszula Bijak Instytut Języka Polskiego PAN Kraków Transonimizacja w nazwach geograficznych Abstrakt Referat dotyczy ewolucji terminu transonimizacja w onomastyce oraz samego zjawiska „wędrówek” nazw w obrębie toponimii, wzajemnych relacji między różnego typu nazwami geograficznymi, zwłaszcza wodnymi i miejscowymi, też terenowymi. Przedmiotem analizy będą ojkonimy i hydronimy odtoponimiczne (z obszaru dorzecza Wisły) oraz sposoby ich kreacji, jak również zjawiska dyferencjacyjne. Głównym celem będzie ustalenie modeli nazewniczych, zestawu sufiksów nazwotwórczych i ich funkcji w planie onimicznym. Abstract Transonymization in geographical names The paper concerns the evolution of the term transonymization in onomastics and the phenomenon of "migration" of names within the toponymy, as well as the relationship between different types of geographical names, especially river and place names. The subject of the analysis will be the detoponymic oikonyms and hydronyms (from the Vistula River Basin) and the processes of their creation, as well as the occurrence of differentiation. The main aim of the text will be to determine naming models, a set of suffixes and their functions in the onymic layout. Dr Laimutis Bilkis Instytut Języka Litewskiego Wilno Litewsko–polskie stosunki językowe w biblijnych litewskich toponimach Abstrakt W litewskiej toponimii jest dość dużo metaforycznych nazw, pochodzących od biblijnych nazw miejsc lub imion osób, stworzeń i zjawisk biblijnych. Niektóre toponimy są wynikiem kanonicznych biblijnych onimów lub apelatywów: nazwa góry, pola, lasu, siedziby Alývų kálnas (Oliwna góra), nazwy gór Angelnė, Angelų kalnelis (od zapożyczenia ángelas ʻanioł; dobry duchʼ), nazwa pola Galilėja (Galilea), nazwy gór Golgotà (Golgota), Siònas (Syjon) itd. Inne toponimy pochodzą od używanych w dialektach, w żywej mowie nazw biblijnych: nazwa pola, pagórka, lasów, łąk Alývų daržẽlis (Oliwny ogródek), nazwa góry Aniuolų kalnas (od zapożyczenia ãniuolas ʻanioł; dobry duchʼ), nazwa dębów Mūkos (od zapożyczenia mūkà ʻmęka; figura Jezusa ukrzyżowanegoʼ), nazwa góry ẽlis (Górka Świętego Józefa). Część takich toponimów odzwierciedla związki pochodzenia i (lub) motywacji (semantycznej) z językiem polskim: Aniolų kalnas : lit. ãniolas < pol. anioł ʻdobry duchʼ, nazwa sosny Nazaránskas : pol. Nazareński, nazwa wsi Sventijánskas : pol. Święty Jan itp. Abstract Lithuanian-Polish Language Connections in Lithuanian Biblical Place Names Lithuanian toponomy includes a number of metaphorical place names deriving from Biblical place names or Biblical names of persons, creatures and phenomena. Some toponyms come from canonical Biblical onyms or appelatives: name of hill, land, forest and farmstead Alývų kálnas (Mount of Olives), hill names Angelìnė, Angelų kalnelis (from the loanword ángelas ‘angel; good spirit’), land name Galilėja (Galilee), hill names Golgotà (Golgotha), Siònas (Zion), etc. Other place names were formed from Biblical

    Darius PETKŪNAS – the Sources of the 1545 Old Prussian Language

    THE SOURCES OF THE 1545 OLD PRUSSIAN LANGUAGE CATECHISMS Darius Petkūnas Abstract The Teutonic Order in Prussia recognised and acknowledged its responsibility to catechise both the German-speaking colonists and the native population. The Reformation made no radical changes to these requirements, but gave them serious attention. During the 1540s to the 1560s, several Catechisms for the non-German subjects of the Duke of Prussia were pre- pared and published in Königsberg, including three in the Old Prussian language. The editor 189 of the first and second Old Prussian-language Catechisms published bilingual books, with the German Catechism on the left-hand page, and the same text on the right-hand page in the Old Prussian language. Reinhold Trautmann established that the source of the Decalogue in these books was Luther’s 1531 Small Catechism. However, he had difficulties confirming the sources of the remaining four parts of the Catechism, since he found a number of words and phrases which could not be identified as coming from Luther’s Catechisms. The article elaborates on Trautmann’s thesis that the source of the German Decalogue is Luther’s 1531 Enchiridion. In addition, it argues that the sources of the remaining parts of the Catechism were German-lan- guage catechetical and liturgical texts that were circulating in Prussia at that time. KEY WORDS: Duchy of Prussia, catechisation, Old Prussian language, Martin Luther. ANOTACIJA Vokiečių ordinas Prūsijoje suvokė ir pripažino savo pareigą katechizuoti tiek vokiečiakalbius ko- lonistus, tiek ir vietinius gyventojus. Reformacija neturėjo esminės įtakos šiems reikalavimams atsirasti, bet sustiprino jiems teikiamą dėmesį.

Prusowie wobec zakonu krzyżac­ kiego w dobie podboju (Monumentą Literaria Prussiae, Seria C: Monografie, nr. 7). Olsztyn: Towarzystwo Naukowe Pruthenia, 2017. - 240 s. ISBN 978-83-934214-9-7 Marius Ščavinskas Klaipėda University Nineteenth and 20th-century historiography about the conQuest of Prussia in the 13th century by the Teutonic Order, based on the different circumstances forming the political, cultural and historical memory developing in different historical epochs and in a varied geographical space, formed a rather clear point of view that the conQuest of Prussia was the expansion of Western Christianity, breaking through in the form of crusades, and interrupting the natural development of the West Balts (mainly Old Prussians), which caused the disappearance of the Old Prussians. There is no doubt that, like any other forms of war, the conQuest naturally triggered change, both in the society of the conQuered and of the conQuerors. For a longtime, the conQuest of the Old Prussians was researched by looking only at the military- political aspects: battles, a discussion of strategy and tactics, the visualisation of the cartography of battles, and the location of Old Prussian castles, highlighting the political circumstances of the arrival of the Teutonic Order in Prussia, descriptions of the ideological attitudes of the Crusades, and descriptions of the hostilities. As well as the military-political aspects, researchers paid significant attention to the pre-Christian order of Old Prussian society, its religion and mythology, confronting the 'peaceful', 'not damaged by civilisation' Old Prussian culture with the aggressive attitude of the Teutonic Order and the supporters of Christian European culture, and in this way, through invisible ties, relating the conQuest of Prussia in the 13th century to events of the 19th and 20th centuries.

  • The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade

    The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade

    Downloaded by [University of Wisconsin - Madison] at 05:00 18 January 2017 THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE PRUSSIAN CRUSADE The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade explores the archaeology and material culture of the Crusade against the Prussian tribes in the thirteenth century, and the subsequent society created by the Teutonic Order that lasted into the six- teenth century. It provides the first synthesis of the material culture of a unique crusading society created in the south-eastern Baltic region over the course of the thirteenth century. It encompasses the full range of archaeological data, from standing buildings through to artefacts and ecofacts, integrated with writ- ten and artistic sources. The work is sub-divided into broadly chronological themes, beginning with a historical outline, exploring the settlements, castles, towns and landscapes of the Teutonic Order’s theocratic state and concluding with the role of the reconstructed and ruined monuments of medieval Prussia in the modern world in the context of modern Polish culture. This is the first work on the archaeology of medieval Prussia in any lan- guage, and is intended as a comprehensive introduction to a period and area of growing interest. This book represents an important contribution to promot- ing international awareness of the cultural heritage of the Baltic region, which has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades.

Копач A.I. Kopach Belarusian State University Minsk, Belarus Белорусский государственный университет Минск, Беларусь E-mail: [email protected] Proper names, including place names, have long been considered as violators of traditions. Being ready to substantiate any part of speech, phrase and sentence, these full-fledged units of the language system have always been studied on special grounds. However, with all the specificity of proprial lexis it has always been studyable by linguistic means. What were the amendments to toponymic identity? Traditionally, linguists refer to the need to examine proper names of geographical objects on a toponymic level pointing to the stratum of lexis which is actively involved in establishing a system of signs such as benchmarks on the ground (other proper names) and which are important for the study of names. When creating new names of geographical objects a word from common vocabulary, and another proper name (either the name of a person or the name of a nearby object) can serve as a derivational basis: AmE. Beaver Swamp, Aaron Swamp, Boeuf River Marsh, Blr. Yasien’, Torbalava, Chervien’skaje Balota. On the one hand, this circumstance lets some linguists talk about a broader semantics of onyms compared with appellatives. It is able to accommodate a heterogeneous group of units (a systematic approach). On the other hand, it raises reasons to consider proper names as a subclass of the language system in which all the features of the previous stages of word existence are leveled.

Rabideau on OW-Preussen-L for 1 June 2015: As for the broader situation regarding Pommern records, I would guess there is a about a 80-90% record loss due to WW2 It is truly bleak. Westpreussen fared somewhat better; the record loss there is more on the order of ~40% across that former region. The bottom line is that the LDS records are most likely your best record source (currently).
