Abstract:
Is it true that French people enjoy reading grammar articles over their coffee
and croissants? Can matters of language really be so interesting and
absorbing?
For thirty years, Aristide composed his Usage et grammaire and Divertissements
grammaticaux for one of France’s foremost daily newspapers, Le Figaro. His
fans avidly read his weekly chroniques de langue, corresponding with him and
asking him questions, which he delighted in answering.
His linguistic writings, topical, witty and elegant, are both entertaining and
instructive. This book on Aristide’s work will be appreciated by lovers of the
French language the world over. Although written in English, it is peppered
throughout with extracts from Aristide’s weekly rubriques.
Aristide stood in the long tradition of French grammarians, some purist and
others relatively laxist. Bernard Pivot described him as one who was «sévère
pour une faute de français, indulgent pour un français en faute».
