About The Book

A reference work on the history and functioning of the French lexicon. Also a practical book that helps to enrich your vocabulary.

Le  Vocabulaire pour tous   aims to respond to the interest that a large public has today in language and words. It is made up of six parts:
1. Describe, classify the words.   To understand the basic notions of linguistics.

2. Understand the history of the French lexicon.   To discover the origins of French, borrowings from ancient languages and foreign languages; go back to the sources of etymology; understand where French spoken outside France comes from.

3. Form the words. To identify families of words, wonder about the role of prefixes and suffixes; observe the peculiarities of compound words and truncated words down to their most recent forms.

4. Know the meaning of words.   To better understand the diversity of meanings and changes in meaning encountered throughout history.

5. Use the right word, enrich your vocabulary.   The objective here is to learn how to choose words for their precision, the nuances they bring, to integrate the word into the appropriate context…

6. Avoid the pitfalls.   This last part provides precise answers to questions about spelling or the correct use, in the face of the pitfalls of resemblance and confusion.
