The author analyses here the reasons why there are many constraints on nominal compounding, limiting its productivity to certain morphological types. The main constraints are the length of Latin words and the productivity of prefixation and agglutination (in the sense of F. de Saussure). The various productive types are listed and exemplified. The author also discusses some cases of final short i before the compound boundary and asks whether we are dealing here with a case of Caland variation or with another phenomenon developed within Latin itself.

The aim of this article is to present the main lexicographical works written by French scholars that have been published as Latin dictionaries. The 1934 Latin-French dictionary by F. Gaffi ot, usually called Le Gaffi ot, was recently revised and reissued as Le Grand Gaffi ot (2000). Some « pocket » dictionaries or lexicons of Ancient and Medieval Latin were also published recently. Thanks to its scientifi c modernity, the dictionary of Christian authors by A. Blaise (1954) is still essential reading for our knowledge of Late Latin, and likewise the Latin etymological dictionary by A. Ernout and A. Meillet is still outstanding. Among the works currently in preparation, we look at the Novum Glossarium Mediae Latinitatis, a Medieval Latin dictionary, as well as the DHELL (Dictionnaire historique et encyclopédie linguistique du latin), a four-year internet-based project that will make available a wide variety of current research in the fi eld of Latin linguistics. Pour répondre au thème général traité dans ce volume, nous tenterons de présenter ici les principaux événements ayant marqué les travaux de lexicographie portant sur la langue latine en France dans les dernières décennies, en rappelant les outils lexicographiques en usage. Après ce bilan, nous présenterons les travaux actuellement en chantier. Au titre du bilan, nous traiterons, dans un premier temps, des dictionnaires et lexiques présentant les lexèmes latins par ordre alphabétique à l’usage des latinistes plus ou moins confi rmés, à qui ils sont destinés à apporter une aide dans la compréhension des textes latins et dans leur traduction en français. Comme les textes et inscriptions en langue latine s’étalent sur un grand nombre de siècles, le lexique latin – expression que nous employons ici au sens linguistique de « l’ensemble des unités lexicales attestées dans les textes latins » – a connu des évolutions importantes au fi l de la latinité. Le latin de l’Antiquité commence avec les premières inscriptions

Summary Latin gradable adjectives can be modified by prefixes and suffixes which can be intensifies or disintensi fiers. They have the semantic particularity of showing the notion of a scalar progression, a subcategory of quantification. They could be called scalar morphemes. The intensification may be either towards a high or a low degree of realisation of the notion. We study here three productive scalar morphemes : -cuius /-ulus, sub-, per-.

EnglishNoms dagent et noms daction en indo-europeen (1 948) opens with the well-known preface where E. Benveniste presents a new theory and method for the study of suffixes and suffixal junction. The axiom or postulate he sets up asserts the existence of a bi-univocal relationship between the elements of the signifiant and those of the signifie of suffixes. This extreme point of view, mathematically inspired, appears to us to be difficult to hold when confronted whith the reality of a natural language, and in particular with suffixes. This postulate obliges him to equate the number of Junctions with the number of forms, sometimes Increasing and sometimes decreasing the number offunctions. The underlying Benvenistian conception of suffixal function in this book can also be defined by the following caracteristics : 1°) only one function per suffix (corollary of the bi-univooal relationship) ; 2°) its semantic nature ; 3°)it is an abstract notion, to be found behind its variety of uses ; 4°) it is to be situated sometimes in a diachronie, sometimes in a synchonic perspective. francaisNoms dagent et noms daction en indo-europeen (1948) souvre par le celebre avant-propos theorique qui Jette les bases dune nouvelle methode pour etudier les suffixes et leursfonctlons.
