What do names tell us about our former occupations?

نویسنده

  • Dunja Brozović Roncević
چکیده

The paper will analyze some linguistic, primarily onomastic evidence of still existent or extinct crafts and occupations within the framework of the former social structure. Many one time crafts became extinct in the course of time, but traces of their former diffusion and importance can be reconstructed from their onomastic, primarily, anthroponomastic reflections. Similar surnames motivated by occupation can be found all across Europe. Some surname statistics in various European countries are given in the paper.

What Do Worker Flows Tell Us About Cyclical Fluctuations in Employment ?

The number of jobs added or lost in the U.S. economy every month is one of the most eagerly awaited statistics among policymakers and market participants. For example, we may recall the recent episode of a “jobless recovery,” in which even though the recession was officially over in the fourth quarter of 2001, the apparent weakness of the labor market continued into 2002 and 2003.

What Can the Acquisition of Proper Names and Kinship Terms Tell us about the Acquisition of the DP?
