Abstract
Reputation in the Medieval French Language : Outline of an Onomasiological Glossary of Middle French. - The glossary of Middle French presented here comprises terms illustrating the actual concept of reputation with its dual meaning of « honorability » and of « notoriety », that is to say, honneur, gloire, fame, los, bruit, renommée. Gloire is opposed to honneur in the way that heaven is opposed to earth, while the term los emanates from decisions taken by the community. Los, having become archaic, is replaced by cri, then bruit. Lastly, renommée, having taken the feminine gender, designates the synthesis of bruit and of the ancient fame, preparing the way for the modern réputation.
