Historical Corpus of Substandard French. Private letters from the lower classes all over France in three periods (1789-1918) in translitterated and commented edition

CHSF打算为基础研究做出贡献，并弥合法语史学中存在的与大多数人的语言，即社会文化下层的语言之间的差距。在19世纪，法国下层阶级接近共同语言，但在不同地区的法语变体中实现了共同语言。作为另一种选择，还有巴斯克语、德语、意大利语等所谓的地区性语言。自第一次世界大战以来，这种不寻常的脚本更为人所知。关于1914年之前的时期，法国史学确信资料不足。我们的项目收集起来，前往法国各地的档案馆，收集了30,000多份异常文件。这些几乎不为人知的来源也使我们有可能从底层为法国谱写一部语言史。我们请求财政支持的第二个阶段将专门用于这些文本中近十分之一的历时版本。它们将以外交音译进行编辑，并附有评论和精选的传真件。语料库的其余部分将在参考书目中介绍。记载的时间分为1789年至1815年、1816年至1913年和1914年至1918年三个时期。该语料库不仅对语言学、社会史和军事史有用，而且对字母排序、法语在法国的推广、区域语言的经典性以及未受过训练的作家私人信件的发展等方面的研究也很有用。

The CHSF has the intention to contribute to fundamental research and to close the gap that exists in historiography of French in relation to the language of the majority of the population, that is the sociocultural lower classes. During the 19th century, French lower classes approached to the common language, but realized it in different regional French varieties. As an alternative, there exists writing in the so-called regional languages like Basque, German, Italian. This deviant scripturality is better known since the First World War. Concerning the period before 1914, the historiography of French is convinced that sources are lacking. Our project gathered, travelling to archives all over France, a corpus of more than 30,000 deviant documents. These almost unknown sources make it possible to compose for France, too, a linguistic history from the bottom. The second period for which we ask for financial support will be dedicated to the diatopical-diachronical edition of almost one tenth of these texts. They will be edited in diplomatic transliteration with comments and selected facsimiles. The rest of the corpus will be presented in bibliographies raisonnées. The documented time is divided in three periods 1789 to 1815, 1816 to 1913 and 1914 to 1918. This corpus will be useful not only for linguistic, social and military history, but also for research on alphabetization, extension of French in France, scripturality in regional languages and the development of the private letter written by untrained writers.
