• Book Reviews 259 Journal of French Language Studies Stephen F. Noreiko Department of French University of Hull Hull HU6 7RX UK e-mail: s.f.noreiko@french.hull.ac.uk (Received 21 February 2001) Baldinger, Kurt (ed.), Dictionnaire onomasiologique de l'ancien gascon, fascicles 19 (19751998), x + 720 pp; Dictionnaire onomasiologique de l'ancien occitan, fascicles 17 (19752000), x + 561 pp; Dictionnaire onomasiologique de l'ancien occitan, Supplement; Horsch, Nicoline (ed.), DAO/DAG: Index (nos 11185), xviii + 251 pp. The approach taken here, because it starts with the realities of the world around, has the marked added advantage of ensuring that non-literary language perforce features prominently in the dictionaries' treatment, to an extent hitherto absent from Occitan lexicography. [...]DAO 544,13 abetado (Toulouse, 1637) `lieu plante de sapins' is absent from the DOM, as is 488,13 abore `hetre', despite being recorded in Simin Palay sub haboure. Not only are detailed semantic studies suddenly easily achievable where once laborious data-collection across half the alphabet would have been involved; the DAG presentation also opens up real possibilities of quasi-dialectological treatments of semantic elds of vocabulary (socio-historical as well: within 71 nord, the politico-historical reality of the Anglo-French connection is recorded for 71,111 nord, nort, northt, the rst quotation (by nearly 200 years) for which emanates from Westminster.) If we turn then to DAO 1215 graisse, this is conrmed: the obvious graissa (*crassia) is set beside the competing sagi, seu, pena (pan porcin), paolha.
