[EN] Celtic, Latin and romance : a lexical approach to Mirouer de la Mort.
In order to cast some light on the genesis of Breton, the authors define a lexicometric method which enables one to determine exactly the Celtic, Latin, Romance elements in a particular corpus. As an example, they have chosen the vocabulary of Mirouer de la Mort, a religious poem in Middle-Breton. After sorting the words according to frequency, to grammatical or stylistic nature (grammatical words - padding words - referenced word), the Celtic vocabulary appears to be dominant amongst current words and grammatical words, but the majority of “referenced words” has been borrowed from Latin or Romance. This analysis is finally compared with that of three other texts.
