RABELAISDADA
Plunged into the world of words, here language dominates:
different languages, invented languages, invented words.
There’s a wide variety of speech styles,
accents, jargons, patois, artificial speech, translationese, the language
of signs, the language of line,
even the language of birds.
We join Pantagruel, Panurge and their friends,
on their sea voyage to seek the Ultimate Truth About Life,
visiting islands with sights both marvellous
and appalling.
