520 _a"Argot and Slang: A New French and English Dictionary of the Cant Words, Quaint Expressions, Slang Terms and Flash Phrases Used in the High and Low Life of Old and New Paris" by Albert Barrère is a linguistic reference book written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive dictionary aims to document the rich variety of cant and slang terms that pervade French society, from the language of the criminal underclass to that of fashionable society. Its focus on the colloquial expressions used in modern French literature invites readers to explore the evolution and depth of the vernacular. The opening of the text provides insight into the author's personal journey in compiling the dictionary. Barrère shares his motivation to record the vast array of slang that he encountered throughout his extensive studies and interactions with various social strata in France. He emphasizes the significance of argot as a lively part of the French language that reflects the culture and society from which it arises. Barrère appreciates the ingenuity of the terms and their figurative nature, presenting a snapshot of the vibrant linguistic landscape surrounding criminality and everyday life in both historical and contemporary contexts.
