The Comparative Study

These observations, which open a widely read essay on primitive religion, might with equal profit be applied to the comparative study of complex societies. They suggest an unusual descriptive project: to catalog the threats to social order in particular cultures in order to make revealing comparisons. They also imply that, armed with such a catalog, unusual meanings might be wrung out of recurrent disasters and common dilemmas. Such a project has not been ventured for South Asia, and I should like to begin with modern Bengal, but the embarassment arises that I am not confident I possess the “active principles” of Bengali culture. It is only by taking up acknowledged instances of “dangers,” “cataclysms,” and “disasters” that I expect to be able to reason back to ordering concepts and thus to complete the catalog. In the course of this short essay, however, only one specific calamity—the death of C. R. Das, a charismatic Indian politician—can be examined in detail. If I succeed in showing that this one calamity has a hitherto unrealized significance in modern Bengal, perhaps the reader will grant that the role of relatedcalamities in Bengal, and even in the whole of modern India, has not been insignificant.

Настоящая работа посвящена изучению официальных чувашских урбанонимов г. Чебоксары. Цель исследования - установить характерные черты национальной урбанонимии Чебоксар в сопоставлении с русской и представить ее в качестве системного явления. Материалом исследования послужила официальная номенклатура городских геонимов. Выводы работы строятся на количественно-качественных методах исследования в аспекте ономастики, ортологии, социальной лингвистики и переводоведения. Чувашские урбанонимы г. Чебоксары по сути имеют вспомогательный вторичный статус. Они сопровождают русские названия, являются средством формирования лояльного отношения к чувашской культуре, поддерживают специфичный лингвистический ландшафт города и выступают в качестве существенного фактора, обосновывающего чебоксарский региолект русского языка. Согласно исследованию, феномен современной русскоцентричной урбанонимии Чебоксар заложен еще во второй половине XVIII века и обусловлен переходом чувашского народа на православный именослов. В настоящее время в условиях существенного языкового сдвига в чувашской среде перевод официального визуального и вербального ландшафтов Чебоксар на чувашский язык становится одной из действенных мер придания городу неповторимых черт и усиления регионального самосознания его жителей. Урбанонимы Чебоксар, включая чувашские наименования, подлежат кодификации в рамках специального словаря энциклопедического типа. The work is devoted to the study of the official Chuvash urbanonyms of the city of Cheboksary. The aim of the study is to establish the characteristic features of the Chuvash urbanonyms of Cheboksary in comparison with the Russian ones and present them as a systemic phenomenon. The research material is the official nomenclature of urban geonyms. The conclusions are based on quantitative and qualitative research methods in the aspect of onomastics, orthology, social linguistics and translation studies. In fact, Chuvash urbanonyms of Cheboksary have an auxiliary secondary status. They accompany Russian names, are the means of formation of loyal attitude towards the Chuvash culture, support the specific linguistic landscape of the city and act as an essential factor that substantiates the Cheboksary dialect of the Russian language. According to the study, the phenomenon of the modern Russian-centered urbanonyms of Cheboksary originated in the second half of the 18th century and was caused by the transition of the Chuvash people to the Orthodox name book. Currently, in the context of a significant linguistic shift in the Chuvash environment, the translation of the official visual and verbal landscapes of Cheboksary into the Chuvash language is becoming one of the most important measures to give the city unique features and strengthen regional identity. The urbanonyms of Cheboksary, including Chuvash names, are subject to codification within the framework of a specific encyclopedic dictionary.

ABSTRACTThe linguistic landscape (LL) is emerging as a method by which to examine language practices of multilingual communities. Based on empirical research, carried out in Brittany and on Corsica in the summer of 2007, this project seeks to examine the extent to which two of France's regional heritage languages mark the public space. In categorising the signs recorded, it is possible to detect trends in the use of Breton and Corsican for different purposes within the LL. Given France's recent language management strategies, we are able to differentiate between the way in which cityscapes are marked by those in positions of authority and those with limited power. It is also practicable to examine the differences in multilingual signs within the survey areas. Collectively, these approaches to the LL of Brittany and Corsica will provide an overview of language practices and the relationships between these languages of France.
