Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a sweeping compendium of vocabulary, language, and storytelling from the Parisian undergrounds of the 1800s. By traveling the streets, listening to the people, and scouring the literature, the author presents a linguistic landscape born out of secret societies, criminal subcultures, traveling carnivals, bohemian living, and more. Uncover how a rich tapestry of vocabularies, like that of the "argot" spoken by thieves, developed alongside the French language, and explore the cultural and historical insights these words and phrases provide about a society brimming with intrigue and hidden worlds. This book is an invaluable guide for linguistic historians, students of French language and literature, or anyone interested in the secret world of the Parisian underworld.
