Sobre el valencià «gemecar» 'gemegar'
2002
This paper focuses excusively on Valencian gemecar ‘gemegar’, “to whine”. It asserts that it is a generalized form in Valencian areas, where it can be found as early as the 15th century. On the one hand, it refutes the hypothesis that the word should be a back-formation from gemec, and on the other, that it should be linked to Mozarabic. The author shows the continuity with Aragonese gemecar, and underlines that Aragonese keeps intervocalic voiceless consonants, that gemecar can be found in Aragonese documents since the 14th century, and that it has expanded into neighbouring varieties, related to Aragonese (Murcian and Eastern Andalusian). Finally, the paper justifies the acceptance of the…
Sobre el mossarabisme alatxa (Sardinella aurita)
2011
L’origen de l’ictiònim català «alatxa» i els seus congèneres romànics s’ha atribuït al tractament mossàrab de «ce» del mot llatí «hallece», traspassat a l’àrab. Tanmateix, segons Joan Veny, la distribució geogràfica d’aquest tipus lèxic per les costes de la Mediterrània occidental, on dialectes centromeridionals italoromànics practiquen el canvi «ce» > «tx», convida a replantejar el seu origen geogràfic que seria el litoral de Toscana i Nàpols d’on la isoglossa hauria passat a Ligúria que, per la seva força expansiva, hauria propagat el mot cap a les costes occitanes i d’aquí a les catalanovalencianes fins arribar a Andalusia: seria un exemple més de l’expansió lingüística genovesa que va a…
Sobre els significants de 'blasfemar' i 'renyar': geolingüística, semàntica i etimologia
2004
This paper has a double purpose. On the one hand, to carry an onomasiological study on the concept “blasfemar, renegar”, using the Atles lingüístic del domini català (ALDC) (Q. 598) to establish its meanings and analysing its origin and evolution. On the other hand, given that one of these concepts («renegar») has derived towards “renyar, reganyar”, this article will try to establish a lexicogenetical typology of some mainly dialectal words related to that concept and, focusing on one of the most productive types (“rondinar, murmurar”), make a new etymological suggestion for the word ‘runar’, ‘renyar’.
La geollingüística catalana, ahir i avui
1998
After surveying a number of books on geolinguistics which have completely or partially focused on the Catalan language from the seventies, this paper points out the importance of continental atlases and linguistic research groups to the development of linguistic cartography. They have done so by means of tables of summaries and comments about dialectal data classified and presented in maps with structural, onomàstic and motivational criteria. The second part of this paper updates geolinguistic work done on the Catalan language in the last decades from a renewed geographical, thematic and social dimension.
