Argotica 10

"ONOMASTIC RESEARCH in the field of slang is rather rare, but the activity of a few researchers is nevertheless quite commendable. As far as French slang is concerned, we owe, among others, to DAUZAT (1929: 147-149) as well as to SAINÉAN (1920: 407-410) interesting researches in which anthroponyms (e.g. Joseph, Jacques or Jean 'sot, imbécile' or Charlot 'voleur'), (pseudo)hagionyms (e.g. Saint-Lâche 'paresseux') and (pseudo)toponyms (e.g. pivois de Rougemont 'vin rouge') have been collected and classified. These early and preliminary observations from the beginning of the 20th century have been, until now, completed by a few scattered studies. The limits imposed by the often lexicographical sources have undoubtedly restricted the scope of onomastic studies of this type. However, it is worth noting KENNETH (2002) as well as the work of GIRAULT (2006) for the field of anthroponymy in dictionaries of slang French as well as SZECSKÓ (2017) for slangography in the second half of the nineteenth century, specifically the dictionaries published by Lorédan Larchey."
