William Safire dabbling in French

Le présent billet a été rédigé par notre premier guest blogger (blogueur invité), Jonathan Goldberg.

In March this year, William Safire, the American linguist who has just passed away, devoted much of his weekly column in the New York Times (republished in the International Herald Tribune) to the word “tranche”, explaining how it was becoming more commonly used in political circles in Washington. More interestingly, he completes the article with some definitions of French words (under the sub-heading “GUIDE DIPLOMATIQUE”).
