Un argot amoureux inventé dans le roman La Toussaint de Jean Espar de Robert Reus
Journal Title: Argotica - Year 2013, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Robert Reus’s unfinished novel La Toussaint de Jean Espar, written approximately in 1950-52 (I have published its adaptation for KDP in 2013), has a special structure and also, in a mysterious chapter, a particular language between a wife and her husband, a sort of lovers’ slang. In this article, I aimed to present this text, to analyze this slang, and then to reveal its origin: it was created for the second volume of an unfinished trilogy, having a larger and more complex use that author’s documents reveal.
