| Abstract |
The paper discusses the principal issues connected with the study of lexica of ancient specialist languages in the early centuries of vernacular in Italy, focusing on the formal typologies of definitions in Leonardo da Vinci’s works. The insertion of definitions means, above all, an attempt to establish fixed points in the confused linguistic composition of annotations; in the second place, it indicates a growing awareness of a new cognitive fact, preceded or followed by a new linguistic elaboration; the coincidence between model (drawn, at times only sketched) and a word; the temporary suspension of the transferability of terms between fields of knowledge and different linguistic registers; the possibility to verify one or a short list of meanings, at the synchronic level and in a diachronic perspective; the identification of syntactic structures that are becoming conventional for one sole type of communication. |
