| Summary | "La Querelle de l'Orthographe" by Marcel Boulenger is an essay written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the contentious debate surrounding the reform of French orthography, addressing the perspectives of philologists and traditionalists. Boulenger argues against the imposition of an orthographic reform, defending the complexity and beauty of the existing language as integral to its literary value. The opening of the essay establishes the context for this debate, illustrating the clash between advocates of orthographic reform and defenders of traditional spelling. Boulenger critiques the notion that linguists, despite their expertise, have the authority to dictate the evolution of contemporary language, emphasizing that true understanding of language requires a grasp of its nuances, history, and aesthetic qualities. He presents his thoughts on the delicate balance between preserving historical linguistic forms and advancing towards contemporary usage, highlighting the potential dangers of rushing change without due respect for tradition.
