It is opened by a theoretical section, "Onomastic Theory", consisting of three papers, namely, those of Willy Van Langendonck and Mark Van De Velde on names and grammar (17-38), Staffan Nyström on names and meaning (39-51), and Elwys De Stefani on names and discourse (52-66). Nyström is rightly critical of the thesis that names are 'meaninglessʼ. According to this view, when lexical items become names, their semantic content, even if it is readily transparent, is lost and the resulting name is merely referential. For Nyström, meaning cannot be ignored in name formation, though there are degrees of meaningfulness. He examines the concepts of denotation and connotation. The latter is especially important. For example, V VERDUN ERDUN has not only the referential function of denoting the place in eastern France, but also has the connotation of the battle which took place there in 1916. Nyström distinguishes the proprial meaning (i. e. the mental onomasticon) from the lexical meaning, but shows that the two interact. As he indicates, however, there is a difference between names like B BLACKBURN LACKBURN (Lancashire) 'dark bourne, stream' < OE blaec + OE burna, which are formally and semantically transparent, and those like C CHOLMONDELEY HOLMONDELEY /tʃʌmlɪ/ in Cheshire, 'Ceolmund's forest clearing', which are not, though in the former case we should not ignore the effects of dissociation. The second part, on "Toponomastics", consists of eight articles and is opened by Simon Taylor on the methodologies of place-name research (69-86). Taylor's observations reflect his experience in the recently established Survey of Scottish Place-Names and are based on material from the Scottish counties of Fife, Kinross-shire and Clackmannanshire. Most appositely, Taylor illustrates his discussion with sample names. Particularly important is his account of the complex nature of written and oral sources which has a general methodological relevance extending far beyond the immediate Scottish context.

Der Ortsname Lox(h)am, der als Familienname überlebt hat, ist ein Kompositum, das aus einem Fluss- oder Bachnamen Lox < britisch *Losko- ‘der Verbogene’ und der Dativpluralform hūsum ‘bei den Häusern’, die formal sowohl altenglisch wie altskandinavisch sein kann, gebildet wird. Die Bedeutung wäre dann ‘bei den Häusern, die in Verbindung mit dem Flüsschen Lox stehen’. In diesem Beitrag wird vielmehr eine skandinavische Etymologie für hūsum bevorzugt. Die Anwesenheit von Skandinaviern in diesem Teil von Lancashire in der Wikingerzeit wird durch das Vorhandensein von skandinavischen Personennamen in mittelalterlichen Privaturkunden bestätigt

A NiP interlayer between the substrate and YSZ coating was also prepared by electroless plating. Finally, coatings were heat treated in control atmosphere at 400 °C. The preparation, microstructure and corrosion resistance of the coatings were investigated. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to investigate the morphology of coatings. In addition, compositions of surface were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The corrosion resistance of the coatings was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 3.5% NaCl solution. Also, the stability of coating was investigated by the Rockwell C indentation test (VDI 3198 norm). The results indicate that NiP interlayer can improve the quality of zirconia coating on the surface. Also, the NiP interlayer and YSZ coating increase the charge-transfer resistance of AZ91D surface in chloride solution. Prog. Color Colorants Coat. 9
