ABSTRACT

Protohistoric place names, created before written history and related to extinct languages, are analysed in this article. Our case study deals with place names of current towns (over 20,000 inhabitants) in the Spanish region of València. Linguistics is needed when dealing with the origin of an opaque protohistoric place name, but observation of landscape features is crucial when finding or choosing the most plausible origin of a place name if there is more than one theory. Protohistoric names are thus interpreted in this article from two perspectives: landscape feature observation and philology. This multimethod analysis produces more reliable results. The main results reveal that protohistoric town names in our case study derive from natural features of landscape, while historic town names refer mainly to cultural features of landscape. Place names are one of the most valuable sources available to explain the concerns of protohistoric peoples.

通过景观特征地名解释原始历史社会:西班牙瓦伦西亚的案例研究

摘要

本文分析了在书面历史之前创建并与已灭绝语言相关的原始历史地名。我们的案例研究涉及西班牙瓦伦西亚地区当前城镇(超过 20,000 名居民)的地名。处理不透明的原始历史地名的起源时需要语言学,但如果有多个理论,则在寻找或选择最合理的地名起源时,观察景观特征至关重要。因此,本文从景观特征观察和文献学两个角度解释原始史名称。这种多方法分析产生更可靠的结果。主要结果表明,我们案例研究中的原始历史城镇名称来源于景观的自然特征,而历史城镇名称主要是指景观的文化特征。
