«Alice au pays du langage» is Marina Yaguello's linguistics essay, published by Editions du Seuil in paperback (207 pages, in French).
Starting from wordplay, puns, charades, slogans and poetic deviations, the work shows how verbal creativity reveals speakers' linguistic competence. With Lewis Carroll's Alice as a guide, it sets out the major themes of linguistics and offers a rigorous introduction for non-specialists.
Published in Paris in 1981 in the Sciences humaines (H.C.) collection by Editions du Seuil.
A work for those approaching linguistics for the first time who want to understand language through humor, wordplay and poetry.
