  • This pocket dictionary contains more than 5000 French words and 7000 Occitan words, corresponding to the basic vocabulary or the Occitan language and covering the basic requirements of the language use in a contemporary context. Variant selection is based on the central and conservative dialects of the language (lengadocian) ensuring the widest intelligibility and standardicity. As the asymmetry between the number of French and Occitan entries suggests, although the dictionary sticks to regular lemmatization principles, it remains open to lexical variation. This book both allows making a coherent use of the language and coping with its variation in real use.

  • : Too few scholars are dedicated to Occitan studies. There are a lot of reasons for such a situation, among which the social and political status of the language is not the least. Occitan studies also are affected by a split in the research attitudes and conceptions. Specifically, there is no regular continuity between works describing dialectal varieties and works contributing to corpus planning, even when the former ones don't undervalue the language status and the latter ones don't ignore dialect complexity. We shall not try here to analyse the reasons for this difficult cooperation. We only want make it clear, on the basis of a few examples, that the orthographic codification of Occitan not only has a practical relevance (allowing to write, use and teach the language), but also is a valuable scientific and descriptive tool . In order to do so, we shall first explain the principles of the so-called "classical" Occitan orthography and we shall then indicate how lemmatizing on the basis of this notation strongly helps organize, from inside the language, the huge wealth of lexical and morphological data included in Thesaurus Occitan (THESOC, cf. Dalbera 1998 and for an online sample : http://thesaurus.unice.fr/).
