If the word brevity, which comes from the Latin word breuitas -a translation of the Greek word brakhulogia- has experienced a positive development, for its part, the word brachylogy has joined the tropes with a pejorative meaning. Re-inventing brachylogy between dialectics and rhetoric means to define it as the real poetical form-meaning of brachylogic writing.

Patrick Voisin, agrégé de grammaire, professeur de chaire supérieure (H), membre du laboratoire Babel (université de Toulon) et de l’Académie de Béarn, a dirigé La Valeur de l’œuvre littéraire (Paris, 2012), Ahmadou Kourouma, entre poétique romanesque et littérature politique (Paris, 2015), Réinventer la brachylogie (Paris, 2020) et Relire Rachid Mimouni, entre hier et demain (Paris, 2021).
