Les définitions lexicographiques des sept péchés capitaux

The reflection on the lexicographic definitions by French and Italian monolingual dictionaries of the nouns “sin”, “avarice”, “pride”, “luxury”, “laziness”, “anger”, “envy” and “greed” proposed here seeks to illustrate how a thematic approach to dictionaries can be an excellent tool for, on the one hand, the acquisition of lexical networks, and, on the other, the basis of a diachronic reflection on the notion of sin.
