Hybridité du mot en français

   What is a word? Where do words come from? How are they cre- ated? Words are born and then, from one country to another, they are borrowed and they are not given back. They become part of the new language, they come in contact with other words and they become hy- brid. Their meaning is hybrid; their form is hybrid; they are reshaped after other words; they appear in pairs in French (hotel, hospital). These hybrid words, derived from others through analogy give birth to <>. These words that have become monsters, in turn, give birth to other <> and the procedure never ends up because his- tory and geography are always there to reshape words.
