Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Place-Names of Nottinghamshire: Their Origin and Development This present work on the place-names of Nottinghamshire was. Originally written as a thesis in the School of English Language and Philology of the University of Liverpool. The subject was suggested to me by Professor H. C. Wyld, to whose teaching and kind assistance I owe much. The field of place-name research is a distinctly dangerous one, and it was only after long hesitation that I decided to lay this study before the public. At one time I was quite prepared to suppress the work entirely, although much time and energy had been spent on its composition. If now given to the world it is because I have been persuaded that its perusal may afford pleasure and instruction to some, and that the theories - often very bold - propounded in the book may draw valuable com ments from its critics. It is also hoped that it will stimulate research in a much neglected province of Germanic philology. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The authors consider the siting of 'thorps' and 'throps' in relation to the landscape and to soil types in particular. Amply demonstrating the value of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of early medieval settlement in England, the authors are able to draw important conclusions about the changes in farming that swept the country during this period and by association the process of village nucleation. By examining both the chronology of place-names in 'thorp' and 'throp' and their qualifying elements (notably the presence or absence of personal names), it appears possible to chart both the speed at which arable enterprises farmed in severalty converted to communal cultivation as well as the direction in which the changes spread. There is a sense of real excitement as many fresh insights are revealed in the course of the book"--P. [4] of cover.

Download or read book Anglo Saxon England Volume 30 written by Michael Lapidge and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-07-12 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pre-eminence of Anglo-Saxon England in its field can be seen as a result of its encouragement of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of all aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture. Thus this volume includes an important assessment of the correspondence of St Boniface, in which it is shown that the unusually formulaic nature of Boniface's letters is best understood as a reflex of the saint's familiarity with vernacular composition. A wide-ranging historical contextualization of The Letter of Alexander to Aristotle illuminates the way English readers of the later tenth century may have defined themselves in contradistinction to the monstrous unknown, and a fresh reading of the gendering of female portraiture in a famous illustrated manuscript of the Psychomachia of Prudentius (CCCC 23) shows the independent ways in which Anglo-Saxon illustrators were able to respond to their models. The usual comprehensive bibliography of the previous year's publications rounds off the book; and a full index of the contents of volumes 26-30 is provided. (Previous indexes have appeared in volumes 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25.)
Download or read book East Anglian English written by Jacek Fisiak and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2001 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of the very earliest form of language which can be called English, and its later influence. East Anglia - the easternmost area of England - was probably home to the first-ever form of language which can be called English. East Anglian English has had a very considerable input into the formation of Standard English, and contributed importantly to the development of American English and (to a lesser extent) Southern Hemisphere Englishes; it has also experienced multilingualism on a remarkable scale. However, it has received little attention from linguistic scholars over the years, and this volume provides an overdue assessment. The articles, by leading scholars in the field, cover all aspects of the English of East Anglia from its beginnings to the present day; topics include place names, non-standard grammar, dialect phonology, dialect contact, language contact, and a host of other issues of descriptive, theoretical, historical and sociolinguistic interest and importance. Professor JACEK FISIAKteaches in the Department of English at the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland; Professor PETER TRUDGILL is Chair of English Linguistics at the University of Fribourg.
