英语词汇hobson-jobson的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Hobson-Jobson. The substitution of native English words, unrelated in meaning, for foreign ones, especially oriental ex- pressions, is called Hobson-Jobsonism. Hobson and Jobson were applied to the Muslim processional chant “Ya Hassan! Ya Hus- sein!” by British soldiers in 19th-century India because these traditional English surnames sounded something like the re- peated exclamations of the parading Muhammadans (Hodge was the first of the English names, but it became Hobson by re- duplication). The Hassan and Hussein of the chant are the grandsons of Muhammad, their names still honored at the fes- tival of Murarram. The term Hobson-Jobson, for “a kind of pidgin language,” was popularized with the publication of a book of the same name by the English Sanskrit scholar Arthur Coke Burnell in 1886.
