  • Abstract: Classifying means keeping. Classifications are a way to open new perspectives to the language, looking at the future. The history of the dictionary goes on along with the history of man and of his language, the history of the representations of the world. Language has never been separated from society. Language classification goes beyond expectations. Everything is classified, but the importance of this schedule activity is often disregarded.
