Summary "Dictionnaire Argot-Français" by Napoléon Hayard is a linguistic reference book created during the late 19th century. This work serves as a glossary of modern French slang, reflecting the vibrant and evolving nature of informal language as used by various social classes in urban settings. It is designed as a practical guide for those interested in understanding the argot of the time. The content of the book comprises an extensive list of slang terms and phrases used in everyday French life, particularly within the context of the vibrant street culture of Paris. Each entry provides not only the slang term but often its meaning and usage in sentences, showcasing the rich tapestry of subcultures and the colorful language they employed. The book emphasizes the dynamic and ever-changing aspects of argot, highlighting how it varies across different generations and social groups. Hayard’s work serves as both a dictionary and a cultural snapshot of the era, making it invaluable for linguists, historians, and those with an interest in the complexities of language and societal influences.
