|
| Nico van den Boogert |
Travaux et documents de l'Iremam n° 19, Aix-en-Provence, 1998, 241 pages, 50 FF |
Les matériaux berbères présentés dans cet ouvrage proviennent de deux lexiques arabo-berbères. Le premier date du XVIIe siècle et a été compilé par Abdallah al-Hilali ; le second datant probablement du XVIIIe siècle est anonyme. À ces données, s'ajoute le vocabulaire berbère contenu dans trois listes anonymes de substances médicinales. Une étude introductive décrit et analyse ce corpus lexical. Ces matériaux enrichissent utilement la lexicographie tachelhit, apportant également un nouvel éclairage sur l'usage du berbère au Maroc, par des savants traditionnels (jurisconsultes, notaires, médecins, droguistes). Une liste d'emprunts romans et arabes et quatre index complètent ce volume.
