Latgalian surnames as a source of research in dialectology and language contact studies
2019
Abstract This article is focused on the analysis of surnames used in the eastern part of Latvia, i.e., Latgale, the history of which to a certain extent differs from other regions of Latvia. This is due to almost 300 years (1629–1917) of isolation from the territory inhabited by other ethnic Latvians, during which this region was under Polish and later Russian rule. During this 300-year-long separation, Latgale developed its own culture, a written tradition based on the local Latvian dialect, etc. The introduction of surnames for the Latvians of Latgale also differed from other regions. As Latgale is a multi-ethnic region, the system of surnames used there reflects not only the peculiaritie…

TRA ACQUA E TERRA, TRA CULTURA ALTA E RACCONTO POPOLARE: I NOMI DELLA TRILOGIA DELLE METAMORFOSI DI ANDREA CAMILLERI
2022
La dimensione onomastica della cosiddetta “Trilogia fantastica” di Andrea Camilleri è costituita da un misto di evocazioni mitologiche, di residui leggendari, di storie popolari raccontate alla fiamma serale, dove il reale incontra il favolistico. Maruzza Musumeci (2007), Il casellante (2008), Il sonaglio (2009), la raccolta di romanzi nota come «trilogia delle metamorfosi» per definizione dello stesso Camilleri, rappresenta una sorta di diversivo consapevole rispetto alle altre scelte di genere. Qui le scelte onomastiche si fanno voce di contesti narrativi in cui la storia e la cronaca trascendono verso memorie astratte e simboliche, vere perché nutrite di evocazioni poetiche. Donne-sirene…
Una perifrasi traduttiva per una regina rimossa. Torsioni onomastiche in "Cima delle nobildonne" di Stefano D'Arrigo
2020
Molto si è scritto sulla “lingua horcynusa” di Stefano D’Arrigo e del suo maestoso Horcynus Orca, romanzo in cui si battezza un nuovo codice linguistico fondato sulla stratificazione e sulla neologia virtuosistica il cui scopo non è tanto indicare con precisione, quanto evocare. Assai meno studiato, probabilmente per il ricorso ad una lingua asciutta, scientifica, quasi anonima, risulta il romanzo epigono della sua carriera letteraria, Cima delle nobildonne, apparso dopo una lunga pausa decennale nel 1985. Le ragioni del titolo stanno tutte nella volontà/opportunità/necessità di celare l’antroponimo che ha ispirato la narrazione, quello dell’unica donna faraone dell’antico Egitto, Hatshepsu…
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…
Al-Tābisī and His Descendants: The Failed Integration of a Military Andalusi Family into the Christian Society of the Kingdom of Valencia (1238–1283)
2018
Although the life of al-Tābisi is shrouded in mystery, the evidence suggests that he was the descendant of one of the Andalusi military lineages that abandoned the Lower Ebro after the Catalonian occupation in the mid-twelfth century. During the Conquest of Valencia, al-Tābisi collaborated with the King of Aragon (probably as a member of the entourage of the sayyid Abū Zayd), with whom he participated in the siege of the city of Valencia (1238) and the subsequent war against al-Azraq (1258). His services were rewarded with land in the Huerta of Valencia, as well as several castles in the southern frontier of the kingdom. His descendants converted to Christianity, preserving references to th…
The Genealogy of Personal Names: towards a more productive method in historical onomastics
2011
It is essential to combine genealogical and collective biographical approaches with network analysis if one wants to take full advantage of the evidence provided by (hereditary) personal names in historical and linguistic onomastic research. The naming practices of rural families and clans from the 18th to the 20th century can bring us much fresh information about their enduring attitudes and values, as well as about other mentalities of everyday life. Personal names were cultural symbols that contained socially shared meanings. With the help of genealogical method it is possible to obtain a more nuanced understanding of these past naming practices, for example by comparing the conventions …
«Que en estos nuestros reinos llamábamos…»: a la búsqueda de una naturalización coeva de títulos y fórmulas de tratamiento en la traducción de la dra…
2019
La traducción de textos no-contemporáneos, ‘diacrónicos’, se puede plantear desde la lealtad romántica al original hasta la absoluta domesticación. Centrándonos en la onomástica de los títulos heredados y adquiridos y en las fórmulas de tratamiento, proponemos una naturalización histórica y cultural, de modo que la reacción del público ante la puesta en escena de la traducción sea lo más equivalente posible a la del público de la cultura de partida, hoy en día. La parte teórica arranca con la presentación y explicación de lo que entendemos como tres modos básicos de traslación, junto con la argumentación de nuestra propuesta metodológica. A continuación, se expone una taxonomía de títulos h…
San Jerónimo en la onomástica de la familia Martí de Torres-Aguilar y su proyección en el retablo cuatrocentista de San Martín, del Museo de Bellas A…
2020
Resumen: El estudio de la onomástica familiar de los Martí de Torres-Aguilar, comitentes del retablo cuatrocentista de San Martín, santa Úrsula y san Antonio abad, obra señera del gótico valenciano, y el análisis iconográfico de sus tablas principales, obligan a poner en duda la identificación tradicional de san Antonio abad como el representado en ellas. Tanto la onomástica como la tradición iconográfica apuntan a que la figura en cuestión corresponde a san Jerónimo.Paraules clau: siglo XV, Valencia, San Jerónimo, Martí de Torres, AguilarAbstract: We have studied the family onomastics of the Martí de Torres-Aguilar, who commissioned the 15th-century raredos St Martin, St Ursula and St Ant…
Zwrot kulturowy w badaniach onomastycznych
2015
In the recent years, a turn towards interdisciplinary research in which proper names are presentedas an interpretation of reality and a mirror of historical, political, social and cultural processes has been observed in onomastics. Names can reflect a popular vision of the world presenting its anthropocentric conceptualization reconstructed on the basis of knowledge, beliefs, valuation systems and cultural experiences of people. Thus the cultural analysis of onyms comprises notions of a linguistic image of the world, point of view, profiling, conceptualization and categorization of ideas, valuation, stereotype and prototype, connotation, metaphor and metonymy. Special attention is also paid…
