Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Roman Britain provides a context in which to examine the hypothesis that "a loan-word denoting a concrete object may be taken to indicate that the object itself has been borrowed, probably from the same source as the loan-word". Between 500 and 600 words are known to have been adopted by Welsh from Latin during the Roman occupation. Of these, many reflect administrative, military and educational matters which support the hypothesis, and some hundred refer to objects for which there is archaeological evidence to support the notion of introduction, or at least improvement, by the Romans. Another 100 words are more difficult to explain by archaeological means, mostly because they denote organic materials; however, out of fifteen named plants, for instance, the Romans were demonstrably responsible for introducing nine and improving another three. In general therefore the hypothesis is valid. | |||
