The reader will find a detailed repertoire of the toponymy of its twenty-five centers, many of them uninhabited, accompanied by an analysis of their phonetic evolution. The main value of the work lies in rescuing and documenting an Aragonese linguistic heritage in danger of extinction, offering keys to understanding the history, culture, and landscape of the region through its names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is structured into two fundamental parts. First, it presents a detailed study of the vocalic and consonantal diachrony of the toponyms, analyzing the most characteristic features of the historical phonetics of Aragonese. This analysis sheds light on poorly documented linguistic phenomena, such as vowel harmony or metaphony, which are no longer found in living speech but persist in toponymy. Secondly, it collects a complete repertoire of place names, mostly unpublished, documented directly from the oral tradition of the inhabitants who have used them for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eToponymy of Upper Aragon and its relationship with physical geography.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical phonetics of Aragonese, including phenomena such as vowel harmony and metaphony.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLocal history of Boltaña and its population centers, many of them depopulated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePopular culture and intangible linguistic heritage of Sobrarbe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at linguists, philologists, and historians interested in the onomastics and historical phonetics of Aragonese.

Chusé Raúl Usón combines philological rigor with essential fieldwork to document a linguistic reality that is fading away. The study of historical phonetics provides added value, as it allows one to go beyond a simple list of names and delve into the linguistic processes that have shaped them. An essential work for specialists and a valuable testimony to the cultural richness of Sobrarbe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XORDICA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407295340891,"sku":"9788416461172","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841646117.jpg?v=1781851866","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788416461172","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
