Brunet, Jean-Paul
Meta, v25 n3 p347-53 Sep 1980
Analyzes the structure, origins and meanings of the "-o" formations in French slang, characterizing the social groups within which they have gained currency. Points out that this spoken language device usually has a purely expressive, connotational function and that numerous examples of the same formation are found in American English. (MES)
