«Le Plaisir des mots» is the essay on language by Gérald Cahen, published by Editions Autrement in paperback (221 pages, in French).
It starts from the daily relationship with words to explore what satisfactions language provides when spoken, written, read, or used on a computer. It presents French as a currency of social exchange and, at the same time, as a singular mirror formed by the words accumulated over the years and by the voices of those who have used it before.
Its subtitle is «Cette langue qui nous habite»; it belongs to the Mutations series (no. 153).
For a general audience interested in the French language and in reflection on everyday language.
