«À mots découverts» is a collection of chronicles about the French language by Alain Rey, published by Robert Laffont in paperback.
Alain Rey brings together four hundred words discussed in his France Inter chronicles written between 2000 and 2005. The entries, from «Racaille et Voyou» to «Victime», play with etymology to connect everyday vocabulary with cultural heritage and to counter misunderstandings and prejudices, offering a personal view of the early years of the 21st century.
Subtitled «Chroniques au fil de l'actualité», the work was published in Paris in 2006 and includes a final index.
For those who enjoy etymology, the French language, and short chronicles about everyday vocabulary.
