Abstract
Pietas : Reflection on Semantical Analysis and Lexicographical Study of a Medieval Word - The publication and development of CDRoms, which offer new possibilities for the study of medieval Latin texts, do not rule out the more traditional instruments such as dictionaries. Compared to the unsorted mass of information given by CDRoms, dictionaries continue to offer the essential elements for a quick survey, as well as an invaluable orientation for a more elaborate study of vocabulary. However, lexicographers should not exempt themselves from a thorough methodological reflection. From the examination of a single example, that of the word pietas, we attempt to show the interest which can be offered by the application of the technical and conceptual tools that over many decades have been elaborated in field of linguistics, in particular those of lexical statistics and semantics.
