Abstract

The goal of this article is to analyse the role of urban place names (‘urbanonyms’) with dialectal origins in the domain of Italian toponomastics. The article offers a gazetteer-based study from which a list of dialectal generic terms is extracted and compiled. From this list, a detailed geographic distributional analysis of these terms is offered, and the dialectal origins of terms are assessed. A questionnaire study is subsequently presented that analyses to what degree Italian speakers may interpret these terms as being dialectal in origin, and to an extent unique to the places they classify. The article concludes by discussing how these findings can inform our understanding of place names, their linguistic properties and their possible dialectal origins.
地理地图遇到地名,语言遇到方言:意大利语就是这样
本文的目的是分析意大利地貌学领域中方言起源的城市地名(“城市地名”)的作用。本文提供了一种基于地名词典的研究,从中提取和汇编了方言通用术语列表。从这个列表中,提供了这些术语的详细地理分布分析,并评估了术语的方言起源。随后提出了一项问卷调查研究,分析了意大利语使用者在多大程度上可能将这些术语解释为起源于方言,以及在多大程度上是他们所分类的地方所特有的。文章最后讨论了这些发现如何帮助我们理解地名、地名的语言特性及其可能的方言起源。
