Description
The Dialect and Place Names of Shetland: Two Popular Lectures is a book written by Jakob Jakobsen and published in 1897. The book is an exploration of the dialect and place names of the Shetland Islands, located off the coast of Scotland. Jakobsen, a Danish scholar and linguist, spent several years living in Shetland and studying the local language and culture. The book is divided into two lectures, the first of which focuses on the dialect of Shetland. Jakobsen provides a detailed analysis of the unique features of the dialect, including its pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. He also explores the historical and cultural factors that have shaped the dialect over time.The second lecture is devoted to the place names of Shetland. Jakobsen examines the origins and meanings of the various names given to the islands, as well as the names of individual towns, villages, and landmarks. He draws on a wide range of sources, including old Norse sagas, medieval documents, and local folklore.Throughout the book, Jakobsen's love for the Shetland Islands and its people shines through. He writes with warmth and enthusiasm about the language and culture of the islands, and his insights into the dialect and place names of Shetland remain valuable to this day. The Dialect and Place Names of Shetland is a fascinating read for anyone interested in linguistics, Scottish history, or the culture of the Shetland Islands.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
