1938-02: (Comhaire-Sylvain’s “Vocabulaire des Croyances Paysannes” — Her First Publication Being a Glossary of Words Used by the Rural Peasant Population Printed in Dictionary-Style Columns Comparing Haitian Kreyòl Words to Similar Words and Meanings from the Dahomey in Africa): Comhaire-Sylvain wrote and published while still conducting research. Her first publication, “Vocabulaire des croyances paysannes,” was a glossary of words used by the rural peasant population. Printed in dictionary-style columns, the essay compared Haitian Kreyòl words to similar words and meanings from the Dahomey in Africa — a lexicographic bridge between the Caribbean present and the West African past, published not in an academic journal but in a feminist newspaper.
