La presència de la tradició lexicogràfica valenciana en el Diccionari Normatiu Valencià (DNV)l’exemple del "Vocabulario Valenciano-Castellano" de Cabrera (1868/1899)

Abstract

The aim of this contribution is to evaluate the presence and use of the 19th century lexicographical sources in the Diccionari Normatiu Valencià, a lexicon that has increased with more than 20.000 words the DIEC. In order to demonstrate the presence of those sources, we will examine the Vocabulario valenciano-castellano -1868-, which gathers, in a time of a strong Spanish influence and undervaluation of the own language as a cultural fact, a considerable part of Valencian lexemes of etimologies and forms different from their Spanish counterparts. The Vocabulario’s aim was to help the acknowledgment and improvement of the Spanish language spoken by the Valencians, following a tradition started in the 17th century by Carles Ros in 1764 and later by Salvà in 1838. The contrast between the DNV and the Vocabulario occupies the main part of this paper, in which is is possible to see how the traditional Valencian lexemes from the 19th century, still in use, are integrated in the new dictionary by the AVL, that fulfills one of its main principles: the integration of traditional terms that are still in use in the Valencian regulations, yet frequently as secondary forms.
