      Bréal's own preface names this book the introduction to the science he called 'Sémantique', backing the claim that the 1897 Essai is foundational.

      “Je prie donc le lecteur de regarder ce livre comme une simple Introduction à la science que j'ai proposé d'appeler la Sémantique”

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
