Issue 23 of the journal Géolinguistique brings together seven contributions highlighting subjects or works that are now at the centre of geolinguists’ thinking. The Linguistic Atlas of France is particularly highlighted (research into the material conditions of E. Edmont’s surveys, use of phytonymic data (wild flora) as part of the semantic motivation approach advocated by Mario Alinei. Another aspect is the lexical creativity in zoonymy through the designations of the guinea pig in the southern Italo-Romance varieties of Basilicate. The approach favoured by researchers working on semantic motivation, notably in the Roman Linguistic Atlas and the Atlas Linguarum Europae, is also present thanks to Corsican anemonyms (a very strong link between this phenomenon and representations of magical-religious beings).

Only one article is devoted to phonetics, since its subject is considerations on the sound aspects of the Franco-Provençal variety of San Vito, an alloglot colony in Apulia, Italy.

Finally, the perspective of multilingual geolinguistics is well represented by the contribution on the Verba Alpina enterprise, which focuses on a transnational linguistic area of convergence between three major Indo-European families: Romance, Germanic and Slavic.
