Frederic Dame's Contribution to the Development of Romanian Lexicography

Summary/Abstract: The revision of Frédéric Damé's work is necessary and opportune today, almost half a century after the attempt made by the researcher from Cluj, Petru Kovacs in the article "Frédéric Damé, his cultural and lexicographical activity". A cultural personality as well known in his time as he is ignored today, Frédéric Damé has remarkable lexicographical and didactic contributions, which give him a distinct, indisputable place in our culture. Our approach aims, in this article, the importance of the linguistic / lexicographical research of the French intellectual that resonated with the Romanian spirituality and culture, promoting with ardor and consistency the Romanian-French intercultural dialogue. The works presented attest to Frédéric Damé's constant preoccupations in the field of linguistics and lexicography. At the time they were written and published, they had a major cultural impact. Current and modern then, today they have a historical and documentary value through the role played in the evolution of the two sciences of language. No history of Romanian linguistics can ignore the name of the French intellectual that contributed to the modernization / Europeanization of Romanian culture at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
