Abstract

Ancient religions are definitely complex systems of gods, which resist our understanding. Divine names provide fundamental keys to gain access to the multiples ways gods were conceived, characterized, and organized. Among the names given to the gods many of them refer to spaces: cities, landscapes, sanctuaries, houses, cosmic elements. They reflect mental maps which need to be explored in order to gain new knowledge on both the structure of the pantheons and the human agency in the cultic dimension. By considering the intersection between naming and mapping, this book opens up new perspectives on how tradition and innovation, appropriation and creation play a role in the making of polytheistic and monotheistic religions. Far from being confined to sanctuaries, in fact, gods dwell in human environments in multiple ways. They move into imaginary spaces and explore the cosmos. By proposing a new and interdisciplinary angle of approach, which involves texts, images, spatial and archeaeological data, this book sheds light on ritual practices and representations of gods in the whole Mediterranean, from Italy to Mesopotamia, from Greece to North Africa and Egypt. Names and spaces enable to better define, differentiate, and connect gods.

Abstract

En este volumen se ofrece un conjunto de estudios centrados en el análisis de las investigaciones realizadas hasta la actualidad sobre la toponimia de las diversas regiones de España, así como en la determinación de las lagunas existentes en la indagación de los nombres de lugar, es decir, los temas no acometidos todavía y las áreas aún pendientes de estudio, esbozando además en líneas generales las perspectivas de la investigación futura. Los capítulos han sido realizados por expertos en el estudio de los nombres de lugar de cada región investigada, de acuerdo con una metodología homogénea: (1) exposición del estado de la cuestión, con especificación de las áreas investigadas y comentario de los trabajos existentes de recopilación y de interpretación de nombres; (2) trabajo que está aún pendiente de ser llevado a cabo: áreas geográficas todavía no atendidas y estratos histórico-lingüísticos no analizados aún; y (3) proyectos de investigación en curso de realización. Esta obra colectiva resulta de interés excepcional no solo para especialistas en la lengua española y sus dialectos, sino en otras lenguas románicas y no románicas, ya que se incluyen capítulos relativos a la toponimia de las comunidades bilingües del país: Galicia, Asturias, Cataluña, Baleares, País Valenciano, País Vasco y Navarra.

Abstract

Named Entities provides critical information for many NLP applications. Named Entity recognition and classification (NERC) in text is recognized as one of the important sub-tasks of Information Extraction (IE). The seven papers in this volume cover various interesting and informative aspects of NERC research. Nadeau & Sekine provide an extensive survey of past NERC technologies, which should be a very useful resource for new researchers in this field. Smith & Osborne describe a machine learning model which tries to solve the over-fitting problem. Mazur & Dale tackle a common problem of NE and conjunction; as conjunctions are often a part of NEs or appear close to NEs, this is an important practical problem. A further three papers describe analyses and implementations of NERC for different languages: Spanish (Galicia-Haro & Gelbukh), Bengali (Ekbal, Naskar & Bandyopadhyay), and Serbian (Vitas, Krstev & Maurel). Finally, Steinberger & Pouliquen report on a real WEB application where multilingual NERC technology is used to identify occurrences of people, locations and organizations in newspapers in different languages.The contributions to this volume were previously published in Lingvisticae Investigationes 30:1 (2007).

Abstract

Kaum beachtet in der Forschung, dafür umso präsenter im Alltag sind die Namen für politische und kulturelle Ereignisse (Praxonyme), Waren-/Dienstleistungen und sonstige Objekte (Ergonyme), zu denen auch Institutionen (Schulen, Sportvereine) zählen. In der Fachliteratur zu "sonstigen" Namen zusammengefasst harren die 'Stiefkinder der Onomastik' oft noch ihrer linguistischen Analyse. Dieser Band rückt solche meist jungen Namenarten erstmals in den Fokus. Das Spektrum der 20 Beiträge reicht von Ereignis- (politische Skandale, Messen) und Objekt- (Filme, Finanzprodukte, Haushaltsgegenstände) bzw. Institutionsnamen (Schulen, Fußballvereine) bis hin zu wenig erforschten Personen- (Usernamen) und Ortsnamen (Kletterrouten, Kolonialnamen). Auch grammatische und graphematische Aspekte werden beleuchtet (Flexion von Gattungseigennamen, Namen und Orthographie). Der Band richtet sich an das linguistische Fachpublikum und versteht sich als Impuls zur weiteren Erforschung der äußerst vielgestaltigen Namenarten an der Schnittstelle zwischen Appellativik und Onymik.

Abstract

Le Dictionnaire historique de l'anthroponymie romane (PatRom) vise à établir un dictionnaire génétique des noms de personne à partir des étymons latins et des lexiques romans qui en sont issus. Cette Bibliographie des sources constitue la base et le noyau du dictionnaire: la genèse du projet repose en effet initialement sur les matériaux démographiques, généralement médiévaux, de l'ensemble du domaine roman. En outre, elle constitue probablement le plus riche inventaire de la documentation historique non littéraire dans le contexte pan-roman. En effet, la tâche primordiale des centres PatRom a été, en premier lieu, de répertorier les sources disponibles par domaine linguistique et d'en faire un choix pour l'enregistrement des données onymiques; dans cette optique, les documents démographiques ou listes nominatives sont d'une importance toute spéciale. La base de données est donc virtuelle et multiple. Pour rappel, dans la constitution des articles du dictionnaire, cette documentation est organisée par les centres dans une version préparatoire régionale qui sert au rédacteur pan-roman. La Bibliographie des sources, via divers index, permet de résoudre les abréviations utilisées, qui se veulent transparentes.
