«Bâtons, Chiffres et Lettres» is the essay book by Raymond Queneau, published by Gallimard in paperback (337 pages, in French).
The book brings together Queneau's essays on French and its evolution, and raises the gap between the language taught and defended by academies and the language actually spoken. Given the absence of an established «neo-French», he argues that writers must contribute to its birth and that their work is a form of linguistic maieutics.
