abstract:
[FR] L’élément nordique en gaélique d’Ecosse.
L’auteur examine le lexique emprunté au vieux-norrois en gaélique d’Ecosse, à partir des sources littéraires et toponymiques ; il en fait un classement sémantique et socio-linguistique (noms propres, mots communs liés à l’occupation du sol, à l’élevage et à la pêche ; à la flore et à la faune ; à la description du paysage), montrant qu’il y a eu un contact prolongé entre les deux cultures. Il traite des problèmes phonologiques et morphologiques qui s’y rapportent.

[EN] This paper looks at the Norse loan-word content in Scottish Gaelic, from both literary and place-names sources ; he first classifies them according to semantics (Proper Names ; common nouns connected with land-use, husbandry, fishing, flora and fauna, landscape description), in order to show a lasting contact between the two cultures. He then discusses some of the phonological and morphological problems which arise.
