Resumen

In 2014, the Prix Goncourt-winning novel, Pas pleurer (Seuil), by the French writer of Spanish origin Lydie Salvayre (1953) was branded by purist French critics as a hybrid, and even unintelligible, due to the abundance of Spanish terms and locutions included in the French text. The newspaper El País described the work as “a Goncourt that is written neither in French nor in Spanish but in Frañol”. For her part, far from being intimidated by the critics, the author claimed that it was a “bras d’honneur à la langue dominante”. Written in Frañol, the text reveals a language alternation (code-switching) in which French and Spanish coexist at both lexical and morphosyntactic levels. Therefore, this is an “other language”, essentially oral and unregulated, which shows the historical population movement from Spanish-speaking areas to different regions of the Francophonie, representing a challenge to borders and a literary commitment to linguistic hybridity.
