Quel rapport peut-il y avoir entre les mots "vénérable" et "vénérien", entre le "sain" et le "saint" , entre la "caresse" et la "charité" ... et a fortiori entre le "Testament" biblique et le "testicule" ? La proximite des mots qui evoquent la passion amoureuse et lenthousiasme religieux a toujours quelque chose dinsolite, tant les choses du sexe et celles de la religion paraissent appartenir a deux univers opposes - et pas seulement dans notre tradition judeo-chretienne. Pour explorer cette etonnante parente entre le langage du sexe et celui de Dieu, Odon Vallet exhume les mots anciens comme un archeologue, en identifiant une a une les multiples strates de sens successifs et souvent contradictoires qui sont venues se deposer sur les plus vieux vocables. Lambiguite premiere du langage de lamour nous apparait alors en pleine lumiere : il existe bel et bien un erotisme divin, par lequel lhomme et la femme ont de tout temps associe les plaisirs des sens et les jouissances du sexe a la felicite du monde de lau-dela. Avec lerudition et laisance decriture quon lui connait, Odon Vallet decrypte pour nous la grammaire de cet espace commun au sexe et a la religion. Au terme de ce parcours ou lintelligence se fait toujours gourmande et parfois meme jubilatoire, le lecteur aura compris pourquoi le savoir, la sagesse et la saveur sont trois mots de meme origine.

In the first 100 pages of Websters Unabridged Dictionary, Noah Webster embarks on an ambitious mission to standardize American English, meticulously defining words while addressing their etymological origins, uses, and pronunciation. Written in a clearly structured and accessible literary style, this dictionary not only serves as a reference work but also as a testament to the young nations desire for a distinct linguistic identity. It situates itself within the context of early American nationalism, reflecting the cultural and political aspirations of a post-revolutionary society eager to define itself against European influence. Noah Webster, often hailed as the Father of American English, was a lexicographer, grammarian, and educator whose profound belief in the power of language inspired this unparalleled compilation. His experiences as a teacher, coupled with his observations of the linguistic diversity among the American populace, motivated him to create a dictionary that would promote literacy and foster a sense of cohesion across the rapidly growing nation. His dedication to the evolution of American language mirrors the broader journey of the American identity itself. This seminal work is essential for scholars, educators, and anyone interested in the evolution of the English language. Websters Unabridged Dictionary is not merely a catalog of words; it is a rich historical document that encapsulates the formative ideals of American society. Readers will appreciate how each entry provides insight into the language used in everyday life and the profound ideas that shaped a nation.

Esta nueva y póstuma aportación del emérito profesor de la Universidad de Deusto tiene muchos valores dignos de ser destacados, pues se detiene en las definiciones de las distintas acepciones, fija la antiguedad de las palabras con el año de la primera documentacion conocida, recoge los elementos formales de acentuacion y entonacion, pero lo mas sobresaliente es que nos habla, como si le estuvieramos viendo y oyendo, del origen de las palabras, de sus acepciones y derivaciones desde su primer significado, llevandonos, con la pasion e ilusion que ponia en sus explicaciones, a revelaciones sorprendentes y curiosas. Su voz, recia y clara, esta en estas paginas que se interrumpen en la letra "S", dejando sin terminar este tesoro linguistico.

Este diccionario nació en un aula del sur, en una clase de Filosofía del autor, donde la visión racionalista chocaba frontalmente con el pewma o sueño de una adolescente mapuche allí presente. Él tenia que pasar a Aristoteles y ella, afuera, en el patio, no podia celebrar el We tripantu; no estaba en el curriculum de esa escuela Asi fue como la conversacion que se dio en esa clase origino una investigacion llevada a cabo en mas de tres decadas de la cual, una parte, ha servido para dar vida a Zungun, palabras que brotan de la tierra.Se trata de un diccionario que perfila una cosmovision; no de una traduccion desangelada de terminos que por su complejidad merecen ser tratados con la profundidad correspondiente, de modo que los lectores capten tambien los alcances de sus usos.
