520 _a"Pathologie Verbale, ou Lésions de certains mots dans le cours de l'usage" by Émile Littré is a linguistic study written during the mid-19th century. The work explores the evolution of language, particularly how certain words change in meaning or usage over time, providing various examples and anecdotes that illustrate these pathologies of language. At the start of the work, Littré introduces the concept of "pathologie verbale," discussing the types of changes words undergo—such as malformations, confusions, and shifts in meaning. He compares this exploration to a medical examination of language, where he aims to highlight abnormalities and anomalies that arise through common usage. By sharing specific instances from his own experiences as a lexicographer, Littré intends to create an engaging narrative that maintains a focus on the importance of traditional language and its evolution, showcasing the inherent complexities and sometimes humorous fluctuations in meaning that occur in everyday language.
