摘要:The current research aims to address the contribution of the oral informant Merú Levy to Cynthia Crews’s Judeo-Spanish lexical card index, and especially her synonymic and periphrastic definitions, in order to determine their authenticity, to establish –where possible– whether they are a product of her idiolect, and to examine their reliability as valid lexicographic definitions. Once these explanations had been selected from among the thousands of cards that compose the index, the corpus has been formed by some more than four hundred examples, which constitute the bases for the present study. Therefore, this research consists of: (I) an introduction, where we describe the Judeo-Spanish lexical card index and the sources that form it; (II) a contextualization of the Merú Levy personality and a presentation of their contributions to the card index; (III) a description and analysis of the lexical explanations; and (IV) the conclusions.
