Digital History and Hermeneutics
As a result of rapid advancements in computer science during recent decades, there has been an increased use of digital tools, methodologies and sources in the field of digital humanities. While opening up new opportunities for scholarship, many digital methods and tools now used for humanities research have nevertheless been developed by computer or data sciences and thus require a critical understanding of their mode of operation and functionality. The novel field of digital hermeneutics is meant to provide such a critical and reflexive frame for digital humanities research by acquiring digital literacy and skills. A new knowledge for the assessment of digital data, research infrastructure...
Special Onymic Grammar in Typological Perspective
For the first time place names are made the topic of a cross-linguistic account of morphosyntactic properties which formally distinguish place names from personal names and common nouns. It is shown that the behavior of place names in morphology and syntax frequently disagrees with the rules established for other word classes independent of the language’s genetic affiliation, grammatical structure, and geographic location. Place names boast a grammar of their own. They are candidates for the status of a distinct word class. The special grammar of place names comes frequently to the fore in the domain of spatial relations. This fact is explained with reference to functional notions.
Proper Names versus Common Nouns
Recent research has shown that proper names morphosyntactically differ from common nouns in many ways. However, little is known about the morphological and syntactic/distributional differences between proper names and common nouns in less known (Non)-Indo-European languages. This volume brings together contributions which explore morphosyntactic phenomena such as case marking, gender assignment rules, definiteness marking, and possessive constructions from a synchronic, diachronic, and typological perspective. The languages surveyed include Austronesian languages, Basque, English, German, Hebrew, and Romance languages. The volume contributes to a better understanding not only of the contrasts between proper names and common nouns, but also of formal contrasts between different proper name classes such as personal names, place names, and others.

Vergleichende Kolonialtoponomastik
Die Vergleichende Kolonialtoponomastik ist ein junger Zweig der Koloniallinguistik und befasst sich mit sämtlichen Fragen, die sich auf Ortsnamen in kolonialen Kontexten beziehen. Koloniale Ortsnamen, sogenannte Kolonialtoponyme, bilden einen global verteilten und vielsprachigen Datenbestand, der bisher nicht hinreichend erforscht ist. Der Band zeigt anhand ausgewählter Fallstudien und mit dem Anspruch, eine Einführung in den Gegenstand zu geben, welche Bedeutung dem Forschungsfeld in der aktuellen Sprachwissenschaft zukommt. Dabei weist die Vergleichende Kolonialtoponomastik einerseits vielfache Schnittstellen zur Namenkunde überhaupt auf und erweitert diese um einen zentralen Gegenstand der globalen Verflechtungsgeschichten, andererseits ist das Forschungsfeld als wichtiger Bezugspunkt koloniallinguistischer Interessen zu verstehen, weil die Benennung von Raum in Prozessen kolonialer Unterwerfung eine zentrale Herrschaftspraxis darstellt. Der Band zeigt, wie strukturelle, funktionale und diskursorientierte Perspektiven ineinandergreifen, um in linguistischer Perspektive der komplexen Vielfalt des globalkolonialen Toponmastikons entsprechen zu können..
Advances in Comparative Colonial Toponomastics
For the better understanding of the cultural and linguistic impact of colonialism on the shaping of the world as we know it today it is necessary to take account of the Europeanization of the map of the extra-European countries. To achieve this goal Comparative Colonial Toponomastics (CoCoTop) investigates the place names which were coined in the era of colonialism in the erstwhile possessions of European colonizer nations. This edited volume offers new insights into the toponomastic manifestations of Danish, French, German, Italian, and Spanish colonialism. The focus is on hitherto unexplored macrotoponyms and microtoponyms. Their structural and functional aspects are described. They are linked to the colonial history of the various nations involved. A general toponomastic framework beyond CoCoTop is presented additionally. Several of the papers mark the starting point of recently initiated new research projects. The volume is of special interest to onomasticians, scholars working in colonial and postcolonial linguistics, and historians of colonialism.
The Humanities Computing Yearbook 1989-1990
This is the second in a series of comprehensive annual reference guides to the use of computers in all the disciplines of the humanities. Like its predecessor, this volume provides a taxonomy of the field and an annotated survey of publications, research centers, text archives and termbanks, electronic communications, software, and hardware relevant to the humanities. It also includes special larger entries for important software that offer up-to-date information, and practical help in applying that information to research projects and instruction in colleges and universities. For the 1989-1990 edition, Lancashire has, for the first time, appointed an international advisory board of speciali...
