About This Book

This glossary assembles regional Norman vocabulary with local citations and abbreviations indicating where terms were collected, accompanied by an editor's preface describing the project's enlargement and editorial choices. It catalogs patois words with meanings, pronunciation variants, and local usages, and incorporates supplements drawn from manuscripts and other collectors. The preface reflects on the dialect's locality and variability, the methodological difficulty of creating a complete list, and the urgency of recording vernacular speech before it is leveled by wider linguistic change. The work aims to preserve lexical diversity across Normandy and to provide a foundation for further regional lexicographic study.
