This second volume on the Dictionnaire Étymologique Roman (DÉRom) contains forty new lexicographical articles as well as an extensive theoretical section which discusses various questions pertaining to the methods, problems and implications of comparative reconstruction in Romance linguistics (phonology, semantics, grammar, geolinguistics and cartography).

The third volume of the DÉRom contains about forty new lexicographical articles, documenting mainly hereditary Protoromance etyma, but also Gallic borrowings. The theoretical section gathers chapters discussing questions such as the Idioromance infrastructure of the DÉRom, polysemy, synonymy, and the substrates of Protoromance.
