Ma langue maternelle va mourir et j'ai du mal à vous parler d'amour

A plea for diversity and difference.

A love of words… Jaulin?s love of words is nothing new. Language is his working tool, and here he is talking about his tool. He puts words to his own, the French he adores, his head language, and the patois, his emotional language, the veneration for all those small languages escaping the global economy. He joyfully recounts his love of languages in a duet with Alain Larribet, a world musician from Béarn. He talks about his sensitive heritage and his whims: the shame of patois, resistance to standardization, the pleasure of using a non-standardized language, and the loss of transmission, because with words also disappear know-how, knowing how to be in the world.
