A study of the attempt by French politicians to use the law to
forbid the use of words of English and American origin. Classifies
some of these words and lists expressions in current use in America
and England which are particularly difficult to render in French,
comparing these with some equally untranslatable French turns of
speech. The book should interest students of language, history and
politics. It shows how some of Gramsci's ideas on the nature of
cultural hegemony look in practice.
