ALF LOMBARD’S LEXICOGRAPHIC PREOCCUPATIONS. THE ROMANIAN-FRENCH DICTIONARY
ALF LOMBARD' S LEXICOGRAPHIC CONCERNS. THE ROMANIAN-FRENCH DICTIONARY

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the lexicographic activity of the Swedish Romanist, from his first preoccupations in the domain, which go back to the beginning of his career as a linguist, in the last 20 years of the last century (Europas och den vita rasens språk. En systematic översikt (The languages of Europe and of the White Race. A Systematic Approach), Upsala – Stockholm, 1926) to the end of his life (Språken på vår jord (The languages of the world), Symposium, Stockholm, 1990, with subsequent editions). The article insists on his preoccupations concerning Romanian lexicology and lexicography, with special emphasis on his two important works in this domain Dictionnaire morphologique de la langue roumaine, Lund – Bucuresti, 1982, and Dictionnaire roumain-français. Unfortunately, the latter was left unfinished. The authors present new aspects concerning these two works and examine Alf LombardŃs importance as a lexicologist and lexicographer in the 20th century Romance and Romanian linguistics.
