«La France prise aux mots: inventaire des folies du langage», an essay by Pierre Daninos, in paperback (Calmann-Lévy, 250 pages, in French).
Pierre Daninos surveys with humour the errors and oddities of French: frequent confusions, verbal tics and linguistic quirks that creep into everyday speech. The book functions as a critical and entertaining inventory of incorrect usage, showing how the language becomes deformed and, at the same time, enriched by these deviations.
Published in Paris in 1986, the book is catalogued as a dictionary of errors in French usage; the Library of Congress records it under the shelf mark PC2460 .D33 1986.
For students of French, translators and readers curious about the twists and slips of the language.
Pierre Daninos was a French writer and humorist.
