Everyday vocabulary in medieval documents from the Southern province of Ávila (2)

Abstract

This article sheds light on some lexical items from the semantic field of everyday life (agricultural activity, livestock, other activities and food) in a corpus from the south province of Avila throughout the 15th century. It is also the continuation of another forthcoming article (2019). First of all, it starts with a description of these lexical items in context; next, there is a contrastive analysis with similar diachronic corpora using different lexicographical sources. It also offers some information on the current uses of the words in the area, based on information obtained through field surveys. Thus, this lexical repertoire provides a better characterization of the current use of this linguistic variety from the diachronical and diatopic point of view.
