About This Book
An alphabetical glossary of regional and historical French vocabulary from the Geneva area, presenting headwords with concise definitions, pronunciation guidance, variant spellings, usage examples, and prescriptive notes on correct or preferable forms. The edition preserves original orthography while indicating typographical corrections and includes an explanation of abbreviations and signs. Many entries contrast dialectal or obsolete senses with standard French, offer occasional etymological or regional provenance, and flag colloquial, technical, or antiquated usages for the reader.
