English summary: Condillac’s Dictionary of Synonyms is a work designed to teach the French language to the infant Ferdinand, Duke of Parma and grandson of Louis XV, rather than a dictionary in the strict sense of the word. The work permits the reader to jump from one topic to another, from proper to figurative meaning, connecting etymologies, proverbs, and examples. French text. French description: Le Dictionnaire des synonymes, plus qu’un dictionnaire, est une methode d’apprentissage de la langue francaise destinee a l’infant Ferdinand, duc de Parme et petit-fils de Louis XV. Condillac y transforme ses contraintes de precepteur en liberte de pensee. Recusant l’abus des mots et tous les jargons, il analyse la justesse de la langue francaise en montrant comment en elle l’arrangement du discours est analogue a celui des idees. Ce dictionnaire n’a pas d’equivalent : il permet au lecteur de circuler d’un article a un autre, d’un sens propre a un sens figure, liant les definitions, les etymologies, les proverbes, mais aussi les exemples et les citations au service de la fabrique active de la langue. Sans jamais etre identiques, les synonymes se renvoient les uns aux autres et deploient la richesse des usages, leur simplicite et leur nettete . Tout a la fois philosophe, linguiste et ecrivain, Condillac invente ici un laboratoire experimental : celui de notre langue.
