Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten
[Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a
significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory
both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to
deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight
of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new
knowledge about human languages both synchronically and
diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical
analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality
linguistic studies from all the central areas of general
linguistics and the linguistics of individual languages which
address topical questions, discuss new data and advance the
development of linguistic theory.
This is the final volume in the series "Placenames of the Isle of
Man". It includes the town of Douglas, Place-Name and Field-Name
Addenda, complete indexes of place-name elements, place-names,
field-names, and personal names. In addition there are four
articles embracing place-names and the environment.
Pre-Scandinavian place-names in Man, the nature of Scandinavian
place-names in Man, and Goidelic and Scandinavian common elements.
To complete the volume are 17 parish maps containing the
traditional land divisions of treen and quarterland.
Volume 6 comprises the three southerly parishes of Kirk Malew
(including the town and former capital Castletown and the large
village of Ballasalla), Kirk Arbory, and Kirk Christ Rushen
(including the Calf of Man island). The material appears in
alphabetical form with discussion of any problems of
interpretation, and a listing of the various elements making up the
names. This volume yields name-forms and elements not found in Manx
literature or dictionaries. In addition, reinterpretation of some
of the names now places them in the Early Christian period of Manx
history (6th-7th centuries), thus adding them to the small list of
names predating the Scandinavian period (9th-13th centuries). As
documentary material from that time to the 16th century is largely
absent, the testimony of placenames is important for the
distribution of name elements reflecting the topography and
patterns of settlement, and for the development of Manx Gaelic
during that period. It also helps to contribute towards comparative
placename study in adjacent areas, particularly Ireland, southwest
Scotland and northwest England.
Volume 5 comprises the three central and eastern parishes of Kirk
Braddan, Kirk Marown, and Kirk Santan. The material appears in
alphabetical form with discussion of any problems of
interpretation, and a listing of the elements making up the names.
This volume yields name-forms and elements not found in Manx
literature or dictionaries. As all but a handful of names predate
the Scandinavian period (9th-13th centuries) and as documentary
material from that time till the 16th century is largely absent,
the testimony of place-names is important for the distribution of
name elements reflecting the geography and showing patterns of
settlement, whether Celtic, Scandinavian, etc, and for comparative
place-name research in adjacent areas, particularly Ireland,
south-western Scotland, and northern England.
The second volume Sheading of Michael embraces the parishes of Kirk
Michael, Ballaugh, and Jurby on the western side of the island. The
material appears in alphabetical form with discussion of any
problems of interpretation, and a listing of the elements making up
the names. Field names are given under their respective forms. In
the absence of early documentary material in Man, especially for
the main native language Manx Gaelic, the testimony of place-names
is therefore important in tracing the development of spoken Gaelic
in the island from ca. 13th century onwards. It is also important
for the distribution of name elements showing patterns of
settlement, whether Gaelic, Scandinavian, etc., and for comparative
place-name research in adjacent areas, particularly Ireland,
south-western Scotland, and northern England.
The first volume -Sheading of Glenfaba- embraces the parishes of
Kirk Patrick and Kirk German, and the town of Peel on the western
side of the island. The material appears in alphabetic form, with
discussion of any problems of interpretation, and a listing of the
elemets making up the names. Field names are given under their
respective farms."
Das kollektive Singen gehoerte zu den hervorstechenden
Alltagserscheinungen verschiedenster Organisationen im
Nationalsozialismus und wurde vom Regime bei unterschiedlichsten
Anlassen gezielt eingesetzt. Die Beitrage dieses Sammelbandes
untersuchen am Beispiel der Jugendorganisationen, der SA und des
Reichsarbeitsdienstes nicht nur die Inhalte des Liedguts, sondern
auch die Funktion des Singens. Die fliessenden UEbergange von der
Singepraxis vor 1933 zum Nationalsozialismus und die vielfach
geschickte UEbernahme bzw. Abwandlung schon vorhandener Lieder
durch die Nationalsozialisten lassen gesellschaftliche und mentale
Faktoren erkennen, die die NS-Diktatur ermoeglicht haben. Zugleich
fallt der Blick aber auch auf Formen der Resistenz gegen den
Nationalsozialismus.
