Recueil Informatisé des Inscriptions Gauloises. Edition, archaeological context, linguistic analysis, socio-linguistic study – RIIG

The preparation of the RIIG (Recueil informatisé des inscriptions gauloises) aims to produce a critical and commented edition of the Gaulish texts known to date, in order to constitute a complete synthesis of knowledge on Gaulish epigraphy and language. The work carried out on the inscriptions aims to place them in an archaeological, historical and social context in order to study the place of writing and to question the modalities of self-representation of the Gaulish populations through their language, in the public domain of the city capitals but also of the secondary agglomerations, an approach that has never been taken until now. Our approach will be fully epigraphic, i.e. it will closely link archaeological and linguistic data in order to have as complete a picture as possible for the socio-linguistic analysis of the texts studied.
