El besar en el Llibre de les dones de Francesc Eiximenis i la seua traducció castellana

Abstract

From an interdisciplinary perspective, this paper will focus on the research topic of the kiss in the Llibre de les dones (1396) by Francesc Eiximenis and in its Castilian translation (1st half of the 15th century). The union between literature and linguistics allows us to combine a philological study on the kiss as it appears in this treatise on women with a morphosemantic reflection on the same topic. Hence, beyond its presence as an object of the didactic and moral speech, the kiss or the kissing act hosts a diversity of meanings and contrasting particularities depending on the context.
