    Book Reviews The Place-Names of the West Riding of Yorkshire. By A. H. Smith. Parts Seven and Eight, English Place-Name Society, Vols. 36 and 37 (Index). New York: Cambridge University Press, 1962. xvii, 307 pp., maps; xiii, 207 pp. $6.50 each. The final two volumes of the outstanding eight-volume survey of the place-names of the West Riding of Yorkshire have been com- pleted under the general editorship of A. H. Smith. The completion draws to a conclusion one of the major onomatological undertakings in English. The achievement is as great as, if not greater than, the contribution of Eilert Ekwall to English place-name study, and can be looked upon as a model for rigorous place-name studies in the future. Part Seven continues the serious and accurate application of scholarship that distinguished the first six parts. It contains an introduction to the place-names of the West Riding, notes on the phonology and dialect, a listing and discussion of river-names and road-names, distribution maps, and some minor items, such as personal names in the place-names, feudal names, saints' names, Pre-Celtic and Celtic names, and French names. A full bibliography is also included. Since each of the first six parts surveyed particular wapentakes, Part Seven can stand as an introduction to the series. The introduction goes beyond a general statement as to method and content. It stands as a scholarly treatise on the topographical· historical, geological, anthropological, archaeological, and linguistic background of the Riding as it relates to the place-names.

  • A Hundred Years Since Sholem Aleichem's Demise Ephraim Nissan
    Nissan, “Post Script: A Hundred Years Since Sholem Aleichem’s Demise” | 116 Post Script: A Hundred Years since Sholem Aleichem’s Demise Ephraim Nissan London The year 2016 was the centennial year of the death of the Yiddish greatest humorist. Figure 1. Sholem Aleichem.1 The Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem (1859–1916, by his Russian or Ukrainian name in real life, Solomon Naumovich Rabinovich or Sholom Nokhumovich Rabinovich) is easily the best-known Jewish humorist whose characters are Jewish, and the setting of whose works is mostly in a Jewish community. “The musical Fiddler on the Roof, based on his stories about Tevye the Dairyman, was the first commercially successful English-language stage production about Jewish life in Eastern Europe”. “Sholem Aleichem’s first venture into writing was an alphabetic glossary of the epithets used by his stepmother”: these Yiddish 1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sholem_Aleichem.jpg International Studies in Humour, 6(1), 2017 116 Nissan, “Post Script: A Hundred Years Since Sholem Aleichem’s Demise” | 117 epithets are colourful, and afforded by the sociolinguistics of the language. “Early critics focused on the cheerfulness of the characters, interpreted as a way of coping with adversity. Later critics saw a tragic side in his writing”.2 “When Twain heard of the writer called ‘the Jewish Mark Twain’, he replied ‘please tell him that I am the American Sholem Aleichem’”. Sholem Aleichem’s “funeral was one of the largest in New York City history, with an estimated 100,000 mourners”. There exists a university named after Sholem Aleichem, in Siberia near China’s border;3 moreover, on the planet Mercury there is a crater named Sholem Aleichem, after the Yiddish writer.4 Lis (1988) is Sholem Aleichem’s “life in pictures”.

  • Analysis of the Website Genre DISSERTATION Presented in Part
    Representation of National Identity on Ukrainian Business Websites: Analysis of the Website Genre DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University Larysa Stepanova By Graduate Program in Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Daniel E. Collins, Advisor Charles E. Gribble, Co-Adviser Predrag Matejic Copyright by Larysa Stepanova 2010 Abstract The goal of the proposed dissertation is twofold—first, to investigate the patterns of language usage in a previously unstudied discourse genre, the websites of Ukrainian businesses; and second, to determine the extent to which the new language policies of the post-Soviet Ukrainian state are reflected in this new genre, which is not explicitly covered by those policies. More specifically, the study will offer a detailed linguistic analysis of the genre in order to determine whether, and to what degree, linguistic identity, as shown by the choice of language(s) on the sites, correlates with other markers of Ukrainian national identity—i.e., the values that the official policies are trying to defend. ii Dedication This document is dedicated to my family. iii Acknowledgments Here I want to thank people who have contributed much to this research and who have been with me during this difficult period of my life. I am indebted to both of my advisers: Dr. Charles Gribble and Dr. Daniel Collins. I have learned a lot from these men who are both inspiring professors and wonderful people as they have worked with me during my entire course of study at The Ohio State University.

  • Spatio-Temporal Database of Places Located in the Border Area
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Spatio-Temporal Database of Places Located in the Border Area Albina Mo´scicka* ID and Marta Ku´zma ID Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodesy, Military University of Technology, 00-908 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 18 January 2018; Accepted: 12 March 2018; Published: 14 March 2018 Abstract: As a result of changes in boundaries, the political affiliation of locations also changes. Data on such locations are now collected in datasets with reference to the present or to the past space. Therefore, they can refer to localities that either no longer exist, have a different name now, or lay outside of the current borders of the country. Moreover, thematic data describing the past are related to events, customs, items that are always “somewhere”. Storytelling about the past is incomplete without knowledge about the places in which the given story has happened. Therefore, the objective of the article is to discuss the concept of spatio-temporal database for border areas as an “engine” for visualization of thematic data in time-oriented geographical space. The paper focuses on studying the place names on the Polish-Ukrainian border, analyzing the changes that have occurred in this area over the past 80 years (where there were three different countries during this period), and defining the changeability rules. As a result of the research, the architecture of spatio-temporal databases is defined, as well as the rules for using them for data geovisualisation in historical context. Keywords: spatio-temporal database; geographical names; geovisualisation; border area 1.

  • Mutilation: the Fate of Eastern European Names in America by William F
    Mutilation: the Fate of Eastern European Names in America by William F. Hoffman 8 Terrace Dr., Bethel, CT 06801-2102, e-mail: [email protected] Ever since I wrote Polish Surnames: Origins & Meanings, I have received a steady flow of letters and e-mail notes asking about Eastern European names (not just Polish!), either of persons (first names and surnames) or places. I can divide these questions into two basic categories: 1) the name is reasonably correct as given, and the challenge is to find out something about it; and 2) the name has been mangled somewhere along the way, and before it’s possible to learn anything about it, the original form has to be determined. The first category is a piece of cake compared to the second; if I have a reasonably correct form to work with, I either have something on the name or I don’t. A few minutes of searching through my books is usually enough to tell me which is true. But if the name is mangled so badly I can’t even tell what it was originally, there’s no way to proceed. I have to respond by saying, “Sorry, I can’t help you. Do some research, and get back to me when you have a more reliable form of the name.” I’ve learned the hard way that this is the way to go. There have been occasions when someone has submitted a bizarre-looking name, say, Nrawpulkowski, and I spent hours trying to come up with some brilliant explanation of what it might mean, only to hear back, “Gee, sorry, the day after I wrote you I found out it was really Nowakowski.

The present is a site of contestation between memory and history, as well as a site for recounting the distant past by reflecting it through the prism of the present. The transition from the Soviet Union to independent states in 1991 triggered tensions within these newly created nation-states, with the collective and individual past being given a range of new interpretations. The connection between memory and identity obtained a renewed force.

  • Anthroponytny in the Pomianyk of Horodyâıä“E of 1484
    Anthroponytny in The Pomianyk of Horodysce of 1484 Part I IRAIDA IRENE TARNAWECKY Chapter I INTRODUCTION Delineation of the Problem IN COMPARISON WITH THE DEVELOPMENT of the study of anthro- ponymy in Western Europe the study of this subject in Slavic countries has been relatively modest. This restraint is especially evident in the sphere of given names. Ho\vever, it does not attest a lack of interest in names among Slavs. On the contrary, personal nomenclature has always attracted the attention of Slavic philo- logists, but their interest has been directed chiefly towards semantics or the etymology of names. The pioneer work in this field appeared as early as the beginning of the seventeenth century when P. Be- rynda compiled the first systematic Eastern Slavic dictionary and included a considerable number of personal names with an ex- planation of their origin. The dictionary was written in the literary Ukrainian language of the seventeenth century and published in 1627.1 Scholarly studies of Slavic personal names began in the second half of the nineteenth century with the monumental work of F. Miklosich in 1860.2 He was the first person to devote his attention primarily to the systematic study of Slavic personal and place- names and thus laid the foundation for Slavic onomastics. The work of Miklosich stimulated other scholars ·to further research. The 1 P. Berynda, Leksikon Slovenoroskyj i imen tolkovanije. (Slavic-Rus Lexicon and Explanation of Names), Kiev, 1627. 2 F.
