Abstract

En aquest article d’orientació geolingüística i diacrònica, basat fonamentalment en dades de l’Atles lingüístic del domini català (ALDC) i del Corpus Informatitzat del Català Antic (CICA), s’analitzen més de vuitanta denominacions catalanes del crepuscle. D’una banda, se’n proporciona una doble classificació per criteris morfosintàctics, primerament, i motivacionals, després. De l’altra, se n’estudia la distribució geogràfica actual per lexemes, que s’ofereix cartografiada, i quan és possible, es ressegueixen les traces històriques de les diverses denominacions.

Abstract

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’.

Abstract

The materials from the «Atles Lingüístic del Domini Català» related to the names of «leuconíquia», or small white spots under people's nails, a geolinguistic and anthropological study is performed of the various folk names {«mentides, regals, alegries», etc.) as compared to other languages. The origin of such names is based on the belief that they represent different signs (that someone has been telling lies, that there is a forthcoming present, etc.) mostly developed in the world of children.
