Corradini, Maria Sofia, "El paper de la terminologia catalana en el procés formatiu d'una Fachsprache medicobotànica de l'occità antic", dins: Müller, Isabel - Savelsberg, Frank (eds.), Sabers per als laics: vernacularització, formació, transmissió (Corona d'Aragó, 1250-1600), Berlín - Boston, De Gruyter (Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für romanische Philologie, 463), 2021, pp. 67-80.

Resum

A detailed analysis of scientific texts written in Old Occitan clearly shows that Catalan exercised a strong influence on the medical-botanical lan-guage of Old Occitan, both from the point of view of language in the narrow sense (e.g., in some graphic-phonetic traits), and from the lexical point of view. The reason for this lies in the fact that, when Occitan was preparing to free itself of the supremacy of Latin even in science, it had to be able to create its own specialized vocabulary and, at the same time, a common language easy to be understood, and also able to establish the correspondence between the two systems. These requirements were met by the use of terms belonging to the Catalan lexical heri-tage (which penetrated into Occitan area for different geographical, historical, social reasons) and by their integration into the Occitan lexical system.
