Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author explores the phenomenon of the Italianization of the French language during the 16th century. The author posits that this trend was the result of several factors, including the influence of Italian culture on the French court, the rise of humanism, and the desire of French writers to create a more refined and elegant language. The author traces the development of Italianized French from its beginnings in the early 16th century to its peak in the mid-16th century and examines the various ways in which Italian words and phrases were incorporated into French. The author also discusses the reaction to Italianized French, which ranged from enthusiastic embrace to outright hostility. Ultimately, the author argues that the Italianization of French was a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that had a profound impact on the development of the French language. The book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the French language, the history of Italian culture in France, or the broader topic of language contact and change.
