Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book compiles the linguistic observations of the famed 17th-century French grammarian Claude Favre de Vaugelas, better known as Vaugelas. He was a pioneering figure who proposed a standard form of the French language. This book collects his "Remarks" and the subsequent commentaries by contemporary scholars, providing a fascinating glimpse into the development of the French language. The author argues that "good usage" is the ultimate arbiter of language, advocating for a standard based on the speech of the Parisian elite. Vaugelas believed that usage determined correctness, not rules or logic, and he sought to codify the language as it was actually spoken by educated society. The book reflects the linguistic debates of the time and offers valuable insights into the history of French grammar and usage.
