{"product_id":"31580211","title":"Lars-Åke Götesson | THE PLACE NAMES OF PITCAIRN ISLAND THEIR MEANING AND ORIGIN","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDURING THE FAMOUS\u003c\/b\u003e mutiny on the Bounty in April 1789, the instigator Fletcher Christian seized the ship, placed the commander Lieutenant William Bligh and his loyal crew in a small launch and abandoned them out there, on the vast South Pacific Ocean. Together with eight fellow mutineers, twelve Polynesian women and six Polynesian men, Fletcher Christian eventually took refuge on tiny, isolated and uninhabited Pitcairn Island, situated about halfway between New Zealand and South America. These Anglo-Polynesian settlers landed on Pitcairn in January 1790 and then lived there in complete isolation for the first 18 years, until they were discovered, by coincidence, in 1808.The coexistence of British sailors and Polynesians resulted in the creation of a creole language called Pitkern, which is still spoken on the island. This language is basically a mixture of 18th century English and Tahitian, with later additions of American and New Zealand English. Today, Pitkern is also spoken in New Zealand and on Norfolk Island, off Australia´s east coast.The numerous place names that are still used on Pitcairn Island today are a unique feature of Pitkern. These fascinating, colourful and often funny place names are the subject of this book. Where did they come from? What do they mean? And exactly where on the island are all of these different places to be found?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBindning:\u003c\/b\u003e Förlagsband. 8:o (170x240 mm) \u003cb\u003eÅr:\u003c\/b\u003e Utg. 2021. \u003cb\u003eOmfång:\u003c\/b\u003e 747 s. \u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789189153219. \u003cb\u003eSpråk:\u003c\/b\u003e Engelska\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHitta fler liknande böcker i dessa kategorier:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/pages\/manniskor-bygd'\"\u003eMänniskor \u0026amp; bygd\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/collections\/manniskor-bygd-geografi-lokalhistoria'\"\u003eGeografi \u0026amp; lokalhistoria\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:Människor%2B%2Bbygd%2BGeografi%2B%2Blokalhistoria%2BSpråkvetenskap'\"\u003eSpråkvetenskap\u003c\/button\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHitta fler liknande böcker med dessa ämnesord:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:Pitcairn%2BIsland'\"\u003ePitcairn Island\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:platsnamn'\"\u003eplatsnamn\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:ursprung'\"\u003eursprung\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:betydelse'\"\u003ebetydelse\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:Pitkern'\"\u003ePitkern\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Götesson%2BLars-Åke%2BThe%2Bplace%2Bnames%2Bof%2Bpitcairn%2Bisland%2Btheir%2Bmeaning%2Band%2Borigin'\"\u003eSök fler exemplar av denna bok\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Lars-Åke%2BGötesson'\"\u003eFler böcker av Lars-Åke Götesson\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eAnvänd gärna länkarna nedan för att hitta liknande böcker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:G%C3%B6tesson+Lars-%C3%85ke\"\u003eGötesson, Lars-Åke\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:The+place+names+of+pitcairn+island+their+meaning+and+origin\"\u003eThe place names of pitcairn island their meaning and origin\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Nomen\"\u003eNomen\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Geografi+och+resor\"\u003eGeografi och resor\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 31580211\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nomen","offers":[{"title":"Förlagsny bok \/ Förlagsband","offer_id":43954230657291,"sku":"31580211","price":718.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8856\/1163\/files\/no_image_3a284b1d-d83c-40b0-88d2-8f5d78788c2a.jpg?v=1719628865","url":"https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/products\/31580211","provider":"bok.hstrom.se | Antikvariat \u0026 Bokhandel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
