The Place-Names of Wales was originally published in 1998 and
reissued in 2005 in the Pocket Guide series. This current updated
publication adds some thirty entries, which importantly take into
consideration more recent research. The entry for each place-name
provides details of historical forms and dates; analyses each name
into its component linguistic elements; tracks the later linguistic
development of the name and the influences upon it particularly
within a bilingual society; compares the name with similar names
elsewhere, and interprets that meaning within the history of Wales
and in the local context having regard for the landscape and
changing land-use. In addition to explaining the link between
place-names and language, history and landscape, the introduction
includes a section on the significance of place-name study, and a
short section to allow non-Welsh speakers to understand some
relevant sound-changes.
