#3790. 650年以前のラテン借用語の一覧[lexicology][latin][loan_word][oe][borrowing]

2019-09-12

 過去3日間の記事(「#3787. 650年辺りを境とする,その前後のラテン借用語の特質」 ([2019-09-09-1]),「#3788. 古英語期以前のラテン借用語の意外な日常性」 ([2019-09-10-1]),「#3789. 古英語語彙におけるラテン借用語比率は1.75%」 ([2019-09-11-1]))でも触れたように,650年辺りより前にラテン語から英語へ流入した単語には,意外と日常的なものが多く含まれている.
 これを確認するには,具体的な単語一覧を眺めてみるのが一番だ.Durkin (107--16) を参照して,以下に,意味の分野ごとに,各々の単語について古英語の借用形,現代の対応語(あるいは語義),ラテン語形を示す.先頭に "?" を付している語は,早期の借用語であると強い根拠をもっては認められない語である.
