Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an analysis of the language and vocabulary used by French soldiers during World War I. The author not only provides the text of these words and phrases, but also explains their origins and cultural significance. French soldiers created a slang, drawing on words from the military, popular culture, regional dialects, and even foreign languages, that expressed the reality of trench warfare, including references to the landscape, their equipment, and their enemies. The author explores the way soldiers made use of metaphor, euphemism, and other literary devices, and the ways in which this language shaped their experience of war. The book is an important contribution to our understanding of the cultural history of World War I, and it also sheds light on the nature of language itself and the ways in which it can be used to express both the horrors and the camaraderie of war.
