Inspired by the political structures of England, the revolutionaries have used in 1789 many English terms.
Both World Wars of the XXth century have accentuated the presence of English in France, until the wave of the technical and scientific terms at the end of the century.
English words have been assimilated into French, either popularly or by governmental decisions.
How were they originated and how are they actually used? How does the population react?
Do we have to define a kind
of "Neo-French"?
