- Abstract
The article describes the revision of Augustin Jal's Glossaire nautique, a dictionary of maritime terms. The revision took place between 1970 and 2021 and includes many new primary and secondary sources as well as expanded illustrations. Small thematic articles have also been added. The revision is more systematic than the original edition, although not all inconsistencies have been resolved. The article also deals with the Nouveau glossaire, a dictionary that examines the influence of non-European languages on French. Various words of Arabic, Turkish, and Asian origin are discussed, their meanings and etymology explained. It is noted that the direct and indirect influences from non-European language areas receive comparatively little attention in the dictionary.
