Dictionnaire Comique Satirique Critique Burlesque, Libre et Proverbial
Book •
Philibert Joseph Le Roux's 'Dictionnaire Comique Satirique Critique Burlesque, Libre et Proverbial' is an early modern French lexicon cataloguing popular, comic, and vulgar expressions used in Paris.
Its entries document crude, satirical, and proverbial language from the streets and entertainments, providing insight into everyday speech and social attitudes.
The work influenced other European lexicographers interested in recording nonstandard and underworld vocabulary.
Rob Watts notes Grose drew inspiration from Le Roux when compiling his own 'Vulgar Tongue.
' The book is valued both for its linguistic data and as a cultural record of popular Parisian language.
