Jean-Claude Chevalier, « La synonymie dans les manuels pédagogiques du début de la Renaissance », Langages, ID : 10.3406/lgge.1997.2131
Question of synonymy is very important in logic, rhetoric and grammar in the Middle Ages. Collections of Synonyma and Aequivoca, written in verses, such as those of Jean de Garlande, with their commentaries in Latin and with annotations in native languages, last over centuries. This article studies how, at the Renaissance, they open way to a new pedagogy of languages.
