Title: | Toponyms of Lusitania: a re-assessment of their origins | Authors: | Curchin, Leonard A. | Issue Date: | 2007 | Publisher: | Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra | Abstract: | Avances recientes en teoría lingüística y en metodología han dado
más validez científica al estudio de la toponimia antigua. En este artículo
se examina de nuevo el origen de los topónimos de la provincia
romana de Lusitania, tanto rechazando unas etimologías anteriores
como ofreciendo algunas nuevas o modificadas. Para terminar, se
comparan las proporciones de radicales indo-europeos, célticos, latinos,
y otros en la toponimia de la provincia. Recent advances in linguistic theory and methodology have given greater scientific validity to the study of ancient toponyms. This article re-examines the origin of the various place-names of the Roman province of Lusitania, rejecting some proposed etymologies while offering several new or modified ones. The paper concludes with a tabulation of the proportion of Indo-European, Celtic, Latin, and other roots in the toponyms of the province. |
