This volume is dedicated to the study of names of places and people on the Iberian peninsula that are of Arabic origin. These names are among the most evident traces that Andalusi Arabic was spoken there for centuries. The volume provides two separate inventories (of toponyms and anthroponyms), although it must be recognized that the establishment of exhaustive catalogs is impossible today. Therefore the goal is to improve our knowledge in this area of Hispanic linguistics.
This fifth volume of the
Encyclopédie Linguistique d’Al-Andalus
can also be used as research material for Romance historical linguistics and, of course, as a source to find new dialect isoglosses and grammatical, phonetic, and morphological features within the Andalusian Arabic bundle.
