- W2291211509 abstract "The present study is meant as a continuation of a national project (protocol n. 2008_C7BR9H) partly funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Scientific Research and entitled The popularization of scientific discourse in a diachronic perspective. The project section for which the present author is responsible deals with the analysis in terms of word-formation of botany popular terms as contained in botany texts addressed to non-experts published in Ireland during the nineteenth century (1735–1898, in particular; see Cesiri 2012 and forthcoming). The time span taken into consideration is part of the Late Modern English (LModE) period, one in which botany takes the shape of a modern science ‘cultivated’ (in every sense) by the layman as well; the text types analyzed in the project are manuals of botany addressed to amateurs, containing a terminology which includes both the Latin (scientific) terms and the English (popular) terms for the species listed. The research project started by considering a 1735 herbal by John K’Eogh, who wrote this work on Irish medicinal plants in order to introduce the plants’ properties and related medical treatments to the general public, who could use them in their daily lives. The terms used in K’Eogh (1735) are listed in alphabetical order, reporting the popular name in English first, a second synonym in English when available, then followed by the name in Latin and the name in Irish. Each of the 464 entries described contains a description of the herb and indications of where it grows, which part can be used and for what kind of remedy, along with indications on the preparation of the remedy itself. The analysis of the popular names of the plants in English revealed repeated patterns of word-formation, showing especially terms composed of one single noun and compounds of two and more terms, as in ‘water dropwort’, ‘garden endive’ and so forth. These repeated patterns were attributed by the present author to forms of what Gotti (2003: 73) defines as “nominal adjectivation, i.e. the use of a noun to specify another with an adjectival function”, a very common phenomenon in present-day specialized texts (cf. ibid.), present also in general language. Thus, the 1735 text shows the anticipation of a tendency typical of present-day scientific texts. Three later texts from the mid-nineteenth century were chosen in order to investigate further into patterns of word-formation in Irish botany texts addressed to non-experts. Results from this time span will be discussed in greater detail in Section 5.1. below, but the three texts actually contained the same tendency to nominal adjectivation found in the 1735 herbal with a focus on terms in English only, as no names in Irish Gaelic or in Irish English were included. The final time span investigated concerned the end of the nineteenth century. The texts analysed for this period showed popular terms in English for genera and main species composed preferably of one noun, with compounds created through nominal adjectivation and more complex strings of nouns reserved for the indication of sub-species. The present investigation seeks to take the above-mentioned analysis further and to compare data from Irish botany texts to those from similar, contemporary English texts, especially from the midnineteenth century, for which more data are available from the research project. The text types considered in the project as well as in the present contribution include herbals, gardening manuals," @default.
