descriptionRésumé

"Nouveau Glossaire Genevois, tome 2/2" by Jean Humbert is a reference work, likely produced in the mid-19th century. This publication serves as a lexicon of the Geneva dialect, detailing local expressions, vocabulary, and grammatical nuances of the French language as it is spoken in Geneva and the surrounding regions. It appears to be a comprehensive resource for understanding the unique linguistic features and idiomatic phrases prevalent in that area. The opening of this glossary includes various entries and explanations concerning specific words and phrases used in everyday Genevan speech. It begins with transcription notes, detailing corrections made from typographical errors, and then delves directly into the glossary itself. Each entry provides a word or phrase, its part of speech, a definition, often with examples or clarification about correct usage, and notes on common mistakes and local variations. This structured approach highlights the rich tapestry of language within the region, reflecting both historical influences and contemporary usage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
