Spinte centripete e centrifughe attraverso la lessicografia veneziana Il caso di catar ‘trovare’
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This article discusses the presence and eventual disappearance of the verb catar ‘to find’ in the history of the Venetian dialect. It is divided into two parts: the first one offers a sociolinguistic description that explains the absence of the verb in contemporary Venetian, the second one presents some entries from the Vocabolario storico-etimologico del veneziano (VEV), such as catar and a series of its derivatives and compounds. The article will show that, to this day, catar survives in Veneto dialects with the exception of Lagoon Venetian, due to dynamic characteristics that ultimately assign a sociolinguistically low value to catar, explaining in this way its absence in contemporary Venetian.
