Old Irish loanword database - WOLD
收藏资源简介:
My corpus includes Old Irish texts from the period between the 6-7th century AD to the 9th century AD. I have included the following texts when building my loanword database: Main Old Irish Glosses: Würzburg Glosses (Wb.), St. Gall Priscian Glosses (Sg.), Milan Glosses (Ml.). Other Old Irish texts: Cambrai Homily (Cambr. Hom.), Amra Choluim Chille (ACC), Liber Hymnorum (LH), Félire Óengusso (Fél.), Senchas Már (SM), Críth Gablach (CG), Cáin Adomnáin (CA), Baile Chuind Chétchathaig (BCC), Laud Genealogies (Laud Gen.), the Poems of Blathmac (Blath.), Immram Brain (Immr. Brain), Auraicept na n-Éces (Auraic.), Táin Bó Cúailnge (TBC-LL), the Old Irish Glosses in the Codex Sangallensis 904 (Cod. Sang.). I followed the list of meanings in the World Loanword Database (https://wold.clld.org/). The WOLD lists 1456 meanings of general words divided into 24 categories. First, I collected all the meanings of the WOLD list as follows: 1. Loanwords} only words that have some evidence of phonetic borrowing were included. If a meaning has more than one form, where one of the forms is not a loanword, only the loanword was counted. 2. Attested lexemes that are not loanwords} only words as close as possible to the WOLD meanings are listed. If a meaning has more than one form, more than one form might be listed. 3. Non-attested words: Some words might have existed in the language, but are not attested in the Old Irish glosses, usually by chance, e.g. inchinn `brain' and mac tíre `wolf' are not attested in Old Irish, but are attested in Middle Irish, which suggests that they were not attested in earlier sources only by chance. Other meanings did not exist in the language due to historical and/or geographic reasons, e.g. `kangaroo' and `radio' - those have been marked as n/a in the corpus.
