Les égouts de montpellier : mots crus et mots propres
Résumé
Crude and correct language on the sewers of the city of Montpellier
Sewermen of Montpellier have elaborated a system of protection against the depreciation of their profession by using transgressions and maintaining a certain opacity about their work. The use of crude words helped them to this end. By contrast the management of their company promotes in writting an euphemised language marginalizing the sewers so far as to exclude them. These measurements accompany and mark the disappearance of this profession.

A Montpellier, les égoutiers ont élaboré un système de protection contre la dévalorisation dont leur profession est l'objet, en usant de la transgression et en maintenant une certaine opacité autour de leur travail. L'emploi de mots crus les y aidait. Cependant la direction de leur entreprise promeut par écrit un vocabulaire euphémisé, qui marginalise, jusqu'à exclure, les égoutiers. Ces mesures accompagnent et signent la disparition de ce groupe professionnel.
