项目摘要
The Tai people refined an irrigated rice culture in southern China some 2,000 years ago that enabled them to expand far beyond their geographic origins and to project their economic and political influence to much of mainland Southeast Asia. Many toponyms, especially at the village level, are derived from identifiable features of both the natural and human-created landscape that map distinctive features of their evolving history and culture. Examples include water sources, landforms and bioforms, rice fields, and passageways. An environmental record and indigenous knowledge system has thus been preserved in toponyms. Many of the earlier Tai place names and the cultural, linguistic and human history they encapsulate have been obscured by time, political change, and the work of official government map makers. Many toponyms also document extensive linguistic and cultural borrowing, which is an important, largely undemonstrated or overlooked part of the Tai expansion.This research project will construct a geographic information system (GIS) database of Tai toponyms in southern China and mainland Southeast Asia. The investigators will use spatial analytic techniques in order to present a macro-regional view of historically significant linguistic and cultural practices encapsulated in naming places in these areas. Many toponyms are derived from identifiable features of the natural and manmade landscape and thus reflect boundaries of natural regions. Preliminary research by the investigators has shown that naming practices follow regional patterns that illustrate periodized Sinitic influence on proto-Tai in the northern sweep of the domain and Sanskritic in the southern reaches. The investigators will examine Tai toponyms at a range of different spatial scales. This exploratory project will be a test of methodologies combining linguistics and GIS that will produce sets of GIS data and explain the spatial patterns of Tai toponyms.This project will use GIS and spatial analysis techniques to analyze the linguistic processes and cultural practices of naming places in the landscape with physical and manmade features. It will further provide the basis for inferring population movements across geographic and political boundaries based on language commonalities and changes, and it is expected to uncover continuities and breaks in their naming practices. In a broad sense, it will confirm and illustrate that language and culture exhibit knowable patterns of human behavior and that they tend to cluster in regions, in this case Sinitic and Sanskritic zones of cultural influence. The investigators hope to create a model for constructing a repository of an indigenous knowledge system based on a semantic analysis of village names that has not been available up until now. Results from this project will be available on the Web for free use by researchers and the general public, and they will create a virtual online laboratory for studying the region transnationally. The project will demonstrate to small and threatened groups of the area how they can ally themselves with brethren groups living far away for mutual empowerment. The results also will be valuable to international groups working with indigenous peoples.
大约2,000年前,傣族人在中国南方改良了灌溉水稻文化,使他们能够远远超出其地理起源,并将其经济和政治影响力投射到东南亚大陆的大部分地区。 许多地名,特别是村庄一级的地名,来自自然和人为地貌的可识别特征,反映了其不断演变的历史和文化的独特特征。 例子包括水源、地貌和生物形态、稻田和通道。因此,地名中保存了环境记录和土著知识系统。 许多早期的泰地名及其所包含的文化、语言和人类历史都被时间、政治变革和政府官方地图制作者的工作所掩盖。 许多地名还记录了广泛的语言和文化借鉴,这是一个重要的,基本上没有证明或忽视的一部分,泰扩张。本研究项目将建立一个地理信息系统(GIS)数据库的泰地名在中国南部和东南亚大陆。 调查人员将使用空间分析技术,以呈现这些地区命名地点所包含的历史上重要的语言和文化习俗的宏观区域视图。 许多地名来自自然和人造景观的可识别特征,因此反映了自然区域的边界。 调查人员的初步研究表明,命名实践遵循区域模式,说明了在北方地区对原始Tai的影响以及在南部地区对梵语的影响。 调查人员将在一系列不同的空间尺度上研究泰族地名。 这一探索性项目将是对语言学和地理信息系统相结合的方法的一次试验,该方法将产生一套地理信息系统数据并解释泰族地名的空间模式,该项目将利用地理信息系统和空间分析技术分析在具有自然和人为特征的景观中命名地点的语言过程和文化习俗。 它将进一步提供依据,根据语言的共同点和变化,推断跨越地理和政治边界的人口流动情况,并预计将发现其命名做法的连续性和间断性。 从广义上讲,它将证实和说明语言和文化表现出人类行为的可知模式,并且它们倾向于聚集在区域中,在这种情况下,Sinitic和Sanskritic文化影响区。 调查人员希望建立一个模型,用于在迄今为止尚未提供的村庄名称语义分析的基础上构建土著知识系统的知识库。 这一项目的成果将在网上公布,供研究人员和公众免费使用,他们将建立一个虚拟的在线实验室,对该区域进行跨国研究。 该项目将向该地区的小型和受威胁群体展示他们如何与居住在遥远地方的兄弟群体结盟,共同增强能力。 研究结果对从事土著人民工作的国际团体也很有价值。
