The proceedings of the IX PatRom colloquium (Oviedo 1995), designed to extend the purview of the PatRom project to Asturian (a language situated between Galician and Castilian), assemble studies on a) patronymics in Romance tongues in general (Chambon, DENS) and Asturian in particular (Buchi on names derived from place-names, Maas-Chauveau on names derived from professions, Schmid on sobriquets); b) comparative, Asturian and Romanian onomastics (Sala on names derived from common nouns, Tomescu on names stemming from animal names); c) sociolinguistics (D'Andres); and d) etymological problems (Garcia Arias). Most of the articles are explicitly methodological, such as that of Chambon (on the subject of Dental).
