| Summary | "Nouveau Glossaire Genevois, tome 1/2" by Jean Humbert is a linguistic reference work written in the mid-19th century. The book serves as a glossary that compiles terms, expressions, and vocabulary peculiar to the Geneva region, aiming to capture the vernacular and idiomatic phrases that are not commonly found in standard French dictionaries. The work also addresses grammatical errors prevalent in the local dialect, thus serving both as a resource for linguists and a guide for speakers of the Geneva dialect. At the start of the work, the author explains the purpose of the glossary, which is to document and maintain the local vocabulary of Geneva, including popular expressions and terms that may be considered vulgar or improper. Humbert outlines the meticulous effort put into gathering the vocabulary, which includes contributions from the general public and comparisons with neighboring dialects. This introduction sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of the linguistic characteristics of Genevan speech, making it valuable for readers interested in dialect studies, linguistics, or local cultural identity.
