Abstract EN:

Four complementary monographs concerning the gipsy minority in spain, mainly in the linguistic field (lexicology and lexicography). Reconstitution of the social and political context confronting this minority during the age of enlightenment, based on the legislative tets applied throughout andalusia, where they were particularly active. A tentative reconstruction of calo, the common linguistic base of this nomadic group which arrived in the iberian peninsula in the 15 th. Century. It is a dialect of romany, an indo-european language of the north-west indian sub-group, carried by its users through persia and armenia all over europe. The present state of studies of this dialect which has greatly influenced colloquial spanish through the multiple forms of andalusian culture, but which was considered until the end of the 19th. Century to be an artificial jargon, similar to other romance slangs. The elaboration of two calo dictionaries, one of which, a comparative romanycalo dictionary, is based on the linguistic material collected by two eminent philologists: jose antonio conde (1765-1820), the academician, and the erudite scholar luis de usoz y rio (1805-1865). All the documentary sources on which the four studies composing this thesis are based, come from spanish, british and north american archives, and are entirely impublished.
