Author: René Étiemble Genre: Essay, Linguistics, Cultural Criticism Publication Date: 1964Overview: In Parlez-vous franglais?, René Étiemble offers a scathing critique of the creeping influence of English on the French language, coining the term “Franglais” to describe this hybrid language phenomenon. Étiemble’s work is both a defense of the French language and a warning against its perceived dilution by Anglicisms, which became more prevalent in post-World War II France due to increasing globalization and the dominance of American culture. Étiemble blames various sectors—ranging from media, advertising, and politics to everyday citizens—for this linguistic shift, arguing that the integrity of the French language is at risk. He expresses concerns that such widespread incorporation of English terms undermines the rich history and culture associated with the French language.
