La « Recopilación de las voces mas usuales para empezar á hablar en francés » (1781) de Pierre-Nicolas Chantreau

Abstract

This article shows a detailed analysis about the nomenclature or thematic digest included in El Arte de hablar bien francés (1781) of Pierre-Nicolas Chantreau. This exam highlights three key aspects: the importance of the «Recopilación» particularly between the group of Nomenclatures which combine French and Spanish, specially, with the ones which are addressed to the learning of French between Spanish speakers, the debt of Chantreau in relation with Abel Boyer, author of the nomenclature which is in the origin of the «Recopilación» and, finally, the role of the Nomenclature into the grammar, its relation with other components, specially with those which should be useful in the learning of vocabulary.
