Abstract:

Issam Halayqa describes the ethnographic and lexical backgrounds of the names
of the agricultural and domestic tools and objects used by the inhabitants of
rural communities, villages, and cites of Palestine until the end of the
British Mandate. As an attempt to document them, 618 names of tools were
gathered through field and research work. The study first defines the form of
the tools, the materials they were made of, and their use in the agricultural
contexts, and then traces their lexical origin and their counterparts in
ancient Near Eastern languages. Two results were achieved within this
research; both are displayed on tables annexed to the work. Firstly, the
natural and cultural factors that stimulated inhabitants to create the
terminology of the tools and objects are displayed. Secondly, the linguistic
strata the names of tools and objects represent is analyzed. The outcome is
that there was a considerable percentage of loaned words from ancient Semitic
languages like Aramaic, Canaanite, and Akkadian, and that other words were
loaned from non-Semitic languages like Greek, Latin, Persian, and Turkish. The
study shows the interference of the languages of the area with historically
mixed communities reflected in the tool names, as well a case of
multilingualism in that many Semitic and non-Semitic languages had been used
in small geographical loci. (Harrassowitz Verlag 2014)
