Indigenous loanwords comprise an important component of the lexicons of the Englishes of former British colonies. Often these words are used as placenames, which are in turn transported across the ...country with little knowledge of their origin or meaning. In this article we trace the adoption of gunyah into Australian English, and its use in the house name and toponym Miegunyah/Meigunyah/Mygunyah, extending to a sugarcane plantation near Nadi, on Vitilevu, Fiji.

The heritage of Slovenian house names and surnames reflects, among others, the former medicine and pharmaceutical occupations, midwifery, and folk medicine practices, and besides that, also health ...status and illnesses of people. Surnames, which are especially strongly intertwined with family, local and social history, are closely related to folk medicine and magic. Unlike house names (vulgo), which are the usual nicknames for physical and mental characteristics and abilities, surnames denote medical occupations and medicinal folk practice as such.

Baština slovenskih kućnih imena i prezimena odražava, među ostalim, nekadašnja medicinska i farmaceutska zanimanja, primaljske te narodne medicinske prakse, a uz to i zdravstveno stanje te bolesti ...ljudi. Prezimena, koja su posebno snažno isprepletena s obiteljskom,
lokalnom i društvenom poviješću, usko su povezana s narodnom medicinom i magijom. Za
razliku od kućnih imena (vulgo), koja su uobičajeno nadimci za fizičke i mentalne karakteristike i sposobnosti, prezimena označavaju medicinska zanimanja i medicinsku narodnu
praksu kao takvu. Prema najnovijim podacima (od 1. siječnja 2020.) Zavoda za statistiku
Republike Slovenije, najmanje četrdeset prezimena podsjeća na bivše medicinske ili farmaceutske profesije. Ovi svima dostupni digitalni podaci dragocjeni su za povijest medicine jer

In Andhra Pradesh, India, every Telugu speaking person (also called ?ndhra) , possesses a family name called 'inti p?ru' lit. 'house name' in Telugu). Of all the linguistic groups, ?ndhras are the ...only ones who possess these unique house names and they attach great importance to them. These Telugu family names have a syntactic role. They appear to stand in an adjectival relation to the given names. That is, as an adjective in the Telugu language precedes the noun it qualifies, so too the family/house name (inti p?ru) precedes the given name, which is a noun.

This article reports a project that I carried out with prospective Maltese language teachers in order to give them the opportunity to examine their linguistic landscape (LL), to develop an awareness ...and a curiosity about how languages are used in house names, and to reflect on their own learning. The student-teachers adopted visual ethnography to create a corpus of house names collected from different towns in Malta. They also conducted brief interviews with some of the house owners, kept a reflective journal and adopted a dialogic pedagogy. The student-teachers reflected on their own language knowledge, attitudes, and skills as they examined the meaning of house names. The final part of the project involved the creation of metalinguistic awareness tasks for use in the classroom. As evidenced by extracts from the participants' reflective journals this project yielded useful information about the advantages of observing and analysing language use in the community. The study shows that through metalinguistic activities teachers and learners are able to reflect upon, and interpret some of the ways in which the LL reflects people's creative use of language.

The Shuhi of Muli County, Sichuan province, inhabit the Tibetan-Chinese borderlands. In this paper, we focus on Shuhi kinship practices that accord the house the importance it appears to have for the ...Shuhi themselves. We demonstrate that the Shuhi engage in kinship practices that are ‘hearth-oriented’ (Hsu 1998b: 67–99) in a dynamic process affected by the current political economic changes in reformist China and religious revivalism in Tibet. The ‘hearth-oriented’ kinship practices we discuss include issues of who among the offspring continues to live in the house of their parents, how places of worship in a house are oriented in relation to the physical environment and the divine landscape, and how practices regarding the naming of houses are changing from deictics of place to lineage and family names. Based on empirical data, gathered between 1996–2011, we show that there are significant differences in all practices, which reflect a Tibetan-Chinese gradient along the north-south axis of Shuhi settlements. But there are also striking continuities.
Traditional house names are a part of intangible cultural heritage. In the past, they were an important factor in identifying houses, people, and other structures, but modern social processes are ...decreasing their use. House names preserve the local dialect with its special features, and their motivational interpretation reflects the historical, geographical, biological, and social conditions in the countryside. This article comprehensively examines house names and presents the methods and results of collecting house names as part of various projects in Upper Carniola.
