Work for the series Placenames of the Isle of Man is undertaken under the auspices of the Manx Place-Name Survey, set up at the University of Mannheim in 1988. The survey falls into two parts: material collected from a) oral, and b) documentary sources. Place-name material, mostly Manx Gaelic, for the first part, was collected on sound-recordings or in phonetic script 1989-1992 from some 200 informants, almost exclusively from the farming community. The second part contains material drawn from documentary sources of 13th-20th century date, but mostly from 17th-19th centuries.

Das kollektive Singen gehorte zu den hervorstechenden Alltagserscheinungen verschiedenster Organisationen im Nationalsozialismus und wurde vom Regime bei unterschiedlichsten Anlassen gezielt eingesetzt. Die Beitrage dieses Sammelbandes untersuchen am Beispiel der Jugendorganisationen, der SA und des Reichsarbeitsdienstes nicht nur die Inhalte des Liedguts, sondern auch die Funktion des Singens. Die fliessenden Ubergange von der Singepraxis vor 1933 zum Nationalsozialismus und die vielfach geschickte Ubernahme bzw. Abwandlung schon vorhandener Lieder durch die Nationalsozialisten lassen...
