Book Description:
|
Paris mushroomed in the thirteenth century to become the largest city in the Western world, largely through in-migration from rural areas. The resulting dialect-mixture led to the formation of new, specifically urban modes of speech. This book examines the interlinked history of Parisian speech and the Parisian population through the various phases of in-migration, dialect-mixing and social stratification.
