About this book
In the early 20th century, France grappled with a linguistic revolution as the debate over orthographic reform intensified. "La Querelle de l'Orthographe" by Marcel Boulenger critically examines this conflict, highlighting the clash between progressive philologists advocating for simplified spelling and traditionalists fiercely defending established norms. Boulenger's essay not only explores the implications of language on national identity but also addresses the tension between accessibility and cultural heritage. Ideal for students, linguists, and civic activists, this thought-provoking work invites readers to consider the role of language in shaping society. Engage with Boulenger's insights to understand how orthography reflects deeper societal values and conflicts, making it a vital resource for anyone interested in the evolution of language.
