Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- Morphosyntactic contrasts between proper names and common nouns: an introduction -- Personal names versus common nouns -- The definite article with personal names in Romance languages -- River names -- Proper names with and without definite articles: preliminary results -- On personal names in construct states in Modern and Biblical Hebrew -- Von Heidel- nach Bamberg, von Eng- nach Irland? ‘From Heidel- to Bamberg, from Engto Ireland?’ -- D-marking on Basque personal names from a synchronic and diachronic perspective -- On Special Onymic Grammar (SOG): Definiteness markers in Fijian and selected Austronesian languages
Summary: Recent research has shown that proper names morphosyntactically differ from common nouns in many ways. However, little is known about the morphological and syntactic/distributional differences between proper names and common nouns in less known (Non)-Indo-European languages. This volume brings together contributions which explore morphosyntactic phenomena such as case marking, gender assignment rules, definiteness marking, and possessive constructions from a synchronic, diachronic, and typological perspective. The languages surveyed include Austronesian languages, Basque, English, German, Hebrew, and Romance languages. The volume contributes to a better understanding not only of the contrasts between proper names and common nouns, but also of formal contrasts between different proper name classes such as personal names, place names, and others.
