Dictionnaire Étymologique Roman (DÉRom)

The book series Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für romanische Philologie is among the most renowned publications in Romance Studies. It covers the entire field of Romance linguistics, including the national languages as well as the lesser studied Romance languages. The series publishes high-quality monographs and collected volumes on all areas of linguistic research, on medieval literature and on textual criticism.

Le Dictionnaire Étymologique Roman (DÉRom) constitue la première tentative d'étymologisation du lexique héréditaire roman depuis le REW. Se détournant des pratiques reconnues en étymologie romane, le DÉRom adopte une méthode jugée jusque là peu rentable en raison du témoignage massif du latin écrit : la grammaire comparée-reconstruction. Le présent volume comporte un choix d'articles lexicographiques, rédigés par une quarantaine de linguistes romanistes, précédés d'une présentation détaillée des prémisses théoriques et méthodologiques du dictionnaire.

Klappentext

The Dictionnaire Étymologique Roman (DÉRom) presents the first attempt at etymologizing the ancestral vocabulary of the Romance languages since the publication of Meyer-Lübke s REW. Deviating from practices commonly accepted and applied in etymological research, the DÉRom adopts a method that has so far, due to the extensive documentation of written Latin, been dismissed as being little viable for Romance Studies: the comparative analysis of grammar, used to reconstruct proto-Romance lexemes. This volume contains some 250 articles, written and revised by 40 specialists in Romance linguistics based in twelve countries, as well as a detailed presentation of the theoretical groundwork of this project.

Zusammenfassung
