Event Details
Join us in the Scott Room to hear from local author and linguist Anthony Lacoudre for a fascinating look at the history of French words that we use in English everyday. From the Norman conquest in 1066 down to the present, the French and English languages have been closely intertwined in both lexicon and grammar. From bargain to justice to champion to toast, come learn about the shared heritage of French and English. Allons-y!
