Synopsis
This book provides an in-depth examination of the evolution of French orthography from the 15th century to the present day. The author argues that the French language has undergone a process of simplification over the centuries, with the aim of making it easier to learn. This process has involved the removal of unnecessary letters, the adoption of phonetic spellings, and the standardization of spelling rules. The author traces the history of these changes, examining the work of influential figures such as Ronsard, Vaugelas, and the Académie française. The author also discusses the arguments for and against further simplification, and concludes that while there is a need for caution, a more simplified orthography would ultimately benefit the French language and its learners.
