• W70646526 abstract "I. INTRODUCTION Lexicography and onomastics are two closely related disciplines that are often of benefit to one another. Both also make an important contribution to wider aspects of language study. Onomastic evidence for Scots can help to shed light on the period of pre-literary Scots and fill in some of the gaps in the record of lexical evolution from Anglian Old English to Early Scots. Scottish name evidence can also be of particular relevance to English onomastics. This paper focuses on some of the ways in which the study of Scotland's place-names can inform our understanding of the early vocabulary of the Scots and English languages. (1) Within the last hundred years, many individual studies of English place-names, and the ongoing work of the English Place-Name Survey, have succeeded in establishing the toponymic corpus of England as a valuable resource for the early history of the English language. Several influential reference works on English place-name vocabulary now exist, including A. H. Smith's two-volume dictionary of English Place-Name Elements, now under revision at Nottingham University for a new series of fascicles entitled The Vocabulary of English Place-Names. Specialised surveys of particular groups of elements also exist, including Margaret Gelling and Ann Cole's examination of topographical place-name elements in The Landscape of Place-Names (2000). Smaller, detailed studies (e.g. Hough 1995 and 1998, Kitson 1997) have illuminated our understanding of historical English lexis, revealing words and meanings hitherto unknown. Collectively, this research has unearthed a wealth of material relevant to Old and Middle English vocabulary. Despite the ancient linguistic connections between the territories now known as England and Scotland, Scottish place-names have seldom been taken into consideration in such studies. There are several reasons for this, the most significant being that the Scottish Place-Name Survey, based at the School of Celtic and Scottish Studies at the University of Edinburgh, is considerably less advanced than the English Place-Name Survey. Although the last decade has seen the completion of several PhD theses on Scottish place-names (e.g. Stahl 2000, Grant 2003, Scott 2003, MacNiven 2006), and only last year a major research project on Gaelic place-names attracted significant funding, (2) Scotland has no institute comparable to the Institute for Name-Studies at the University of Nottingham. (3) Nevertheless, collections of historical spellings of many place-names, the raw data on which all further work is based, may be found in the archives of the Scottish Place-Name Survey, and in three PhD theses written at the University of Edinburgh in the mid-twentieth century (Macdonald 1937, Williamson 1942, Dixon 1947). Only Macdonald's work was ever published in book form, though the Scottish Place-Name Society is currently planning to produce reprints of Dixon's and Williamson's theses. (4) Unlike the English Place-Name Survey, the Scottish Place-Name Survey does not have an extensive programme of planned publications, nor is there an established methodology by which county surveys are produced. It is to be hoped that the template provided by Simon Taylor and Gilbert Markus's ground-breaking survey of the place-names of Fife (2006-) may one day be applied to all of the counties of Scotland. Historical spellings of Scottish place-names rarely pre-date the twelfth century, but this need not detract from the usefulness of the material (Nicolaisen 2001: 25--6). In some ways, it makes the material more interesting, especially for the researcher who is willing to engage with Middle Scots names and lexis rather than focusing entirely on evidence for Old English or Old Norse. Until quite recently, many Scottish onomasticians have seemed rather reluctant to investigate or even acknowledge the relevance of this data to the history of the Scots language (Scott 2003a: 24-5). …" @default.
