Sur la francisation d’un toponyme écossais : l’« Argail » de Charles Nodier
2011
International audience; This study opposes, on the one hand, the concept exposed by linguist and theoretician Charles Nodier (1780-1844) in his Elementary Notions in Linguistics (1834) referring to the inalterable spelling of proper nouns, and, on the other hand, his practice as a storyteller and creator in his Trilby (1822). We will also consider answering the question of the gallicization of the toponym "Argyle" (allusion to the lake region in Scotland), spelled "Argail" by Nodier in his tale, contrary to all expectations. "Argail" , beyond the mere process of transliteration and trompe-l’oeil justifications revealed by Nodier himself in the preface of his book, opens up to subtle manipul…
Patrimonio toponomastico di Sicilia. Una raccolta capillare per la toponimia orale e la sua cartografazione digitale
2022
Il progetto onomastico qui presentato rientra nel più ampio progetto dell’Atlante Linguistico della Sicilia. L’obiettivo è di documentare capillarmente l’intero patrimonio toponimico nella forma popolare (che affianca quella documentata e cartografata). La ricerca che si propone, di straordinaria ampiezza, costituirà una fondamentale chiave di lettura della storia linguistica della Sicilia e della sua complessa stratificazione. I primi sondaggi confermano che il patrimonio toponimico orale è a grave rischio di scomparsa. La possibilità di realizzare un portale interrogabile e interattivo è una opportunità di riconsegna al territorio non passiva e inerte, ma può sollecitare ulteriori attivit…
Popular toponomastics pathways in Sicily: contacts between categories and new connotations
2014
This study is a reflection on the category of popular toponym and on the pathways which they are subjected to. It operates in two directions: the first one is that of onomaturgy, the second one takes into account overextensions, secondary connotations and people's consciousness of places. The first issue moves from the reflections resulted from the collection of ethnic nicknames (or blasons pupulaires) in Sicily. In particular, we start from the observation according to which popular anthroponyms can contribute to generate in speakers popular toponyms that follow a pathway of overlapping/substitution like the one concerning ethnics and blasons populaires. The second issue regards official t…
I cavalli di casa Moncada: un repertorio “di razza” di inizio Seicento
2021
Il saggio presenta e discute due documenti testamentari di Francesco II Moncada (1569-1593) e sua madre Luisa de Luna y Vega (1553-1620), che amministrarono la città di Caltanissetta, nella Sicilia centrale, facendone sede del loro mecenatismo. I documenti presentano due ricchi elenchi di cavalli allevati nel casino di caccia di Mimiani e «mercati de lo merco della racza Moncada». La maggior parte dei cavalli non viene identificata solo attraverso le caratteristiche fisiche anche attraverso i nomi. Tuttavia, in un arco di tempo di soli trenta anni, madre e figlio hanno scelto diverse tecniche onomaturgiche. I due documenti presentano alcune interessanti prime occorrenze di ispanismi. The pa…
Political patterning of urban namescapes and post-socialist toponymic change: A quantitative analysis of three Romanian cities
2020
Abstract Critical scholars of place-name studies have compellingly demonstrated that significant transformations in a society's namescape follow suit major power shifts and regime changes. However, despite the wealth of particular case studies existing in the literature, scarce efforts have been made to examine street name changes in a comparative framework using statistical modeling techniques of multivariate analysis. This paper aims to overcome these shortcomings by developing a comparative approach to analyzing post-socialist street-naming transformations in three Romanian cities from Transylvania (Brașov, Cluj-Napoca, and Sibiu). Based on comprehensive data collected from multiple sour…
Lower probability of FEV1 improvement in asthmatic children exposed to passive smoke
2015
Background: Guidelines advocate the use of spirometry to assess lung function in asthmatic. Inhaled corticosteroid(ICS) therapy is a mainstay of treatment for asthma, but the clinical response is variable. Aim: To assess the time variation of FEV1% in treated children with Persistent Asthma (PA). Methods: 110 children with PA, with two visits between September 2011 and December 2014 at the IBIM pediatric clinic were studied. Spirometry was performed using Pony FX, Cosmed, Italy; values were expressed as %pred using GLI-2012equation. The time trend of FEV1% for each subject was estimated through separate regressions. A linear regression model for the individual slopes (FEV1% average month va…
Retolació ceràmica urbana dels segles XVIII i XIX : les fàbriques de València
2020
Resum: Les ciutats començaren a retolar amb taulells els noms dels carrers i dels edificis públics, i a numerar les cases, en compliment de la Cèdula reial de 1769 promulgada per Carles III. En aquest article estudiem l’evolució de la retolació urbana al llarg dels segles XVIII i XIX. A partir de diversos casos documentats –Xàtiva, Sogorb, València, Ciutat de Mallorca– i dels taulells i plaques ceràmiques conservats, analitzem aquesta vessant de la taulelleria valenciana.

Semantisko lauku analīze ziņu rakstos par jaunuzņēmumiem
2022
Semantiskie lauki ir semantiski savienotu vārdu kopa, kas ir saistīti nozīmē. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir analizēt semantiskos laukus ziņu rakstos par jaunuzņēmumiem. Tāpēc šis pētījums ir sadalīts piecās galvenajās nodaļās, lai skatītu teorētisko ietvaru un veiktu empīrisku pētījumu. Pētījumā tiek izmantota satura analīze, lai aprakstītu un analizētu ziņu rakstus par jaunuzņēmumiem, kas ir saistīts ar komponentu analīzes koncepciju. Pēc tam semantiskās attiecības semantiskajos laukos tiek analizētas. Empīriskā pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka korpusā tika identificēti dažādi semantiskie lauki. Vārds ar vienu nozīmi var veidot dažādus semantiskos laukus ar atšķirīgiem vārdiem un vārdi semantiskajā …
La toponymie en Silésie : un enjeu politique des relations germano-polonaises
2014
International audience; Durant des siècles, des Allemands ont vécu en Silésie, constituant la majorité de la population dans de nombreuses régions. L’expulsion des Allemands à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale met fin à cette situation. L’arrivée de populations polonaises et l’instauration d’un régime communiste autoritaire dans un territoire devenu de fait polonais conduisent à une polonisation de la région. Le retour à la démocratie en 1989 change la donne et la minorité allemande vivant encore en Pologne obtient des droits dont elle a été privée durant plus de quarante ans. La succession en Silésie de deux populations marquées par la guerre et les crimes réciproques pèse depuis longte…
Polska eponimia biblijna: Sodoma. Od urbonizmu starożytnego miasta do sodomawirusa
2020
Sodom (in Polish: Sodoma) does not exist. Although this Palestinian town has been known since prehistoric times and it is mentioned in the Bible, there is no archaeological proof which would confirm its location. In 2011, the name Sodoma was removed from the official list which includes Polish equivalents of geographical names of the world. However, the onym is still used in the Polish language. This name and its derivatives appear mainly in numerous eponyms. We can find here semantic derivatives (eg. sodoma), structural-semantic ones (eg. sodomia, sodomita, sodomizować), phraseological ones (eg. sodoma i gomora, grzech sodomski, jabłko sodomskie, jeden (jedyny) sprawiedliwy w Sodomie i Gom…
