Ce que la reconstruction comparative peut apporter Ă la morphologie constructionnelle. Une cavalcade Ă©tymologique
This paper reconsiders the etymology of the lexical units Cat. cavalcar, encavalcar,
descavalcar and their cognates, e.g. Span. cabalgar, Port. encavalgar, or It.
discavalcare. An etymological cavalcade in the framework of the Dictionnaire Étymologique
Roman (DÉRom) yields three Proto-Romance etyma: */ka'βall‑ɪk‑a‑/,
*/ɪn‑ka'βall‑ɪk‑a‑/, and */dɪs‑ka'βall‑ɪk‑a‑/. These etyma, out of which only the first one
presents a correlate in written Latin, owe their existence to the application of comparative
reconstruction to the Romance lexicon, the last ones respresenting derivatives from
*/ka'βall‑ɪk‑a‑/ with the prefixes */ɪn‑/ and */dɪs‑/
