« Facile à apprendre » (rTogs par sla ba) (1737) comme source pour l’étude des relations lexicographiques tibéto-mongoles

Abstract

“Easy to learn” is the title of a Tibetan-Mongolian dictionary composed by Гomboǰab (Cl. Mo. mGonbo skyabs) et al. in 1737 for the purpose of teaching the Tibetan language to Mongols. Through a comparative analysis of its macro- and microstructures with related dictionaries, this paper finds that this dictionary was composed based on a Sanskrit and Tibetan lexicography, describes its distinctive lexicographic methodology, and illustrates how this source represents the Mongolian and Tibetan lexicographic relationships.
