INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5.

For the Classical Latin period I have drawn largely from the Thesaurus Linguae Lati­ na e. The rdle which the Classical Latin etymons have played in Old French will be reflected, of course, in the part de­ voted to the Old French period proper, and, more precisely, will be pointed out in the conclusions of the thesis. In Medieval Latin, in addition to taking into account the lexi­ cographical material accessible, I have used a number of texts all falling approximately within a terminus ad auem to wit, the year one thousand, with the object of adding to our lexicographical knowledge and concomitantly to our under­ standing of the semantic evolutions of a number of words in Old French. Semantic developments in Medieval Latin as well l A asAClassical Latin paralleling and presaging those in Old French have been pointed out; also, pains have been taken to indicate here as well as in Classical Latin those stereotyped -l' phrases which have survived, into Old French. In addition, attention has been drawn to the survival of these phrases, JrfSrto a period beyond the limit of our study. Thus the importance 2 of the influence of Latin sentence structure upon Old French, and at the same time, the tendency towards stereotyped phra­ seology is brought to light on a small scale, it is true, but, nevertheless, convincingly. In the Old French period, with which we are concerned largely, starting with the sub­ stantive fin, a chronological, lexicographical table of cita­ tions culled from texts will be presented. In the course of this study I have, of course, consulted the various Old French dictionaries and the glossaries included in many of the works. In the recording of the words treated, survival of meanings into a later period is indicated, and more correct datings of first occurrences are, in several instances, established; some corrections are made with respect to the meaning of cer­ tain words as previously interpreted by scholars and also in the matter of semantic interpretation. Last but not least, some additions to Old French lexicography and syntax have been me.de. All in all, the study is an attempt to give a more complete, correct, clear linguistic picture of the evo­ lution of finis. its derivatives and compounds. 3 LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS AND BIBLIOGRAPHY Old French Texts The abbreviations are, for the most part, those found in the Tobler-Lommatzsch Altfranzoslsches WSrterbuch.
