Charlotte asked her fiancé. "I can't stand today's pop music. That genre's full of generic garbage, there's no imagination anymore." George replied without hesitation. "I had no idea you were such a connaisseur of popular culture," Charlotte smiled, rolling her eyes. "A pop connaisseur! I'll add that to my resumé." I may not be an expert, but I know good music when I hear it!"This felt like deja vu to George, but he had no problem with that. He enjoyed his lunch-time rendez vous (rendezvous) at the café with his fiancée. Her sarcasm made their dialogue a pleasant escape from his mundane schedule. "We should check out the new salad buffet that opened,"  Suggested Charlotte enthusiastically.  "we've got to start a diet to prepare for the big day!

Richard Scholar, "Émigrés: French Words That Turned English" (Princeton UP, 2020)

New Books in Early Modern History

English has borrowed more words from French than from any other modern foreign language. French words and phrases—such as à la mode, ennui, naïveté and caprice—lend English a certain je-ne-sais-quoi that would otherwise elude the language. Richard Scholar examines the continuing history of untranslated French words in English and asks what these words reveal about the fertile but fraught relationship that England and France have long shared and that now entangles English- and French-speaking cultures all over the world. Émigrés: French Words That Turned English (Princeton UP, 2020) demonstrates that French borrowings have, over the centuries, “turned” English in more ways than one. From the seventeenth-century polymath John Evelyn's complaint that English lacks “words that do so fully express” the French ennui and naïveté, to George W. Bush's purported claim that “the French don't have a word for entrepreneur,” this unique history of English argues that French words have offered more than the mere seasoning of the occasional mot juste. They have established themselves as “creolizing keywords” that both connect English speakers to—and separate them from—French. Moving from the realms of opera to ice cream, the book shows how migrant French words are never the same again for having ventured abroad, and how they complete English by reminding us that it is fundamentally incomplete. At a moment of resurgent nationalism in the English-speaking world, Émigrés invites native Anglophone readers to consider how much we owe the French language and why so many of us remain ambivalent about the migrants in our midst.
