Doctoral Dissertation: Ecologically Meaningful Toponyms: Linking a Lexical Domain to Production Ecology in the Peruvian Andes

该项目将调查秘鲁安第斯山脉说克丘亚语/西班牙语的人的语言变化与生态变化之间的关系。该项目将具体比较盖丘亚地名词汇（地名和地点种类）与生产生态（土地使用模式），研究语言如何反映环境管理中的一些行为变化。它测试了几个假设之间的关系，传统与引进的地名和种植做法（土著和引进）。它还审查了土著和引进的地名学与环境的保护与“开发”伦理之间的关系。

This project will investigate the relationship between language change and ecological change among Quechua/Spanish speakers of the Peruvian Andes. The project will specifically compare Quechua toponymic vocabulary (names and kinds of places) with production ecology (land use patterns), examining how language may reflect some of the behavioral changes in environmental management. It tests several hypotheses concerning the relationship between traditional versus introduced toponomy and cropping practices (indigenous and introduced). It also examines the relationship between indigenous and introduced toponomy and conservation versus "exploitation" ethics of the environment.
