The Semantics of Scottish Gaelic Landscape Vocabulary: A diachronic and synchronic study

该项目将研究现代和历史盖尔语景观术语的含义和结构，探索盖尔语使用者如何感知和概念化景观，以及这种感知如何随着时间的推移而发展。该项目将采用景观语义学来检查基于某些标准的结构专名学区别，包括大小（例如山与丘陵）和景观特征（例如“可耕地”与“不可变”），以确定盖尔语中结构和告知景观词汇的认知语言类别

This project will investigate the meanings and structure of landscape terminology in modern and historical Gaelic, exploring how the landscape is perceived and conceptualised by Gaelic speakers and how this perception has developed over time. The project will employ landscape semantics to examine structural onomastic distinctions based on certain criteria, including size (e.g. mountain vs hill) and landscape feature (e.g. 'arable' vs 'nonvarable'), in order to identify the cognitive linguistic categories that structure and inform landscape vocabulary in Gaelic
