La traduction anglaise
de la Grammaire de Vastin Lespy

n 1888 fut publi, la fois Pau et Londres, un livre en anglais

de Roger Gordon Molyneux, intitul Grammar and vocabulary of
the language of Bearn, destin aux dbutants, abrg et traduit. Deux
adresses de publication se trouvaient runies sur la page de titre :
Lon Ribaut, rue Saint-Louis, Pau, et Henry Prowde, Amen Corner,
London. Amen Corner est situ entre la Cour dassises (the Old Bailey)
et la Cathdrale Saint-Paul, en plein cur de Londres, dans la City.
Dtail amusant, Amen Corner voisine avec la rue Ave Maria et la place
Pater Noster. Le livre a t ralis par limprimerie-strotypie Garet,
11, rue des Cordeliers Pau.
Il ma paru que cette double domiciliation voulue par lauteur est
significative. Elle me semble exprimer que Pau en Barn tait plac
sur un pied dgalit avec la capitale du monde britannique. La reine
Victoria invitait Henri IV ou linverse. Autour dune tasse de th,
ou dun verre de Juranon, on parlerait ncessairement barnais,
the language of Bearn , ni un patois ni mme un dialecte. Ainsi
lexistence de ce livre me parat tre la rponse tout indique la
question si souvent pose : le barnais, cest une langue ? Of course
it is !
Touchant lobjectif vis par ce livre, il nous faut lire en partie lAvertissement au Lecteur de Roger Gordon Molyneux, que je traduis :
Je crois quun abrg en anglais de cet ouvrage sur la langue barnaise sera utile et acceptable pour les nombreux visiteurs anglais et
amricains venus dans le sud de la France et dsireux de communiquer avec la paysannerie, si pleine de gentillesse et de bonne humeur, de ce pays ensoleill .
Nous allons voir ce que lesdits visiteurs allaient trouver dans ce
livre, qui, je le rappelle, est une grammaire suivie dun vocabulaire
essentiellement les mots cits dans la Grammaire. Cest une rduction : nous navons que cent quarante-cinq pages, alors que le livre
de Lespy en compte plus de cinq cents. Mais tandis que dans loriginal le Vocabulaire ne reprsente quun huitime du volume, dans la
traduction il en fait tout prs de la moiti. Cest que le vocabulaire
na pas t abrg (sans doute le traducteur anglais a senti que cette
partie-l tait vitale). En fait, il a t doubl puisque, au vocabulaire
barnais-anglais, Molyneux adjoint une partie anglais-barnais entirement originale, Lespy nayant donn que la partie barnais-franais.
Cest ce dsquilibre entre la grammaire et le vocabulaire qui me
parat laspect le plus intressant. Je ne sais pas si louvrage ainsi
conu a permis beaucoup danglophones de communiquer avec le
Barn profond celui des paysans ou sil leur a donn seulement
loccasion, auprs de llite cultive des Palois, de placer quelques

mots de notre belle langue ainsi dsigne surtout par ceux qui la
connaissent peu. Je crois que les choses nont pas chang depuis
cent ans. Ce que je sais de lapprentissage dune langue trangre
me fait dire que ce que lamateur de langues souhaite, cest de savoir des mots, surtout des noms, et parmi ceux-ci, des noms de choses concrtes. Donc, prfrence donne au vocabulaire, alors que savoir
une langue, cest matriser sa syntaxe. Par parenthse, ce qui distingue aujourdhui encore les vrais Barnais , des autres qui nont
pas assimil la langue la mamelle, cest que la langue quils parlent est aise et franche dallure, mme si le lexique se rapportant
certains domaines est pauvre et encombr de gallicismes.
Il faut dire ici que Molyneux fait du vocabulaire barnais une observation pertinente et fine. Les quivalents anglais quil donne sont
honntes et prcis ; ils montrent souvent de loriginalit et une comprhension en profondeur. Le pittoresque de nos tournures ne lui a
pas chapp. La partie anglais-barnais en fait parfois une utilisation savoureuse et pleine de pittoresque. Pour moi, angliciste dont la
langue maternelle est le barnais, la lecture du Vocabulaire de
Molyneux est une promenade linguistique instructive et fort agrable, amusante et parfois attendrissante. Certes, on a loccasion, de
temps en temps, dy sourire dune bourde bien excusable dans un
ensemble intelligent. Ce sont presque toujours des erreurs de manipulation, fausses lectures, confusions, lorsque langlais ne recouvre
pas exactement le barnais ou le franais de la traduction quen
donne Lespy. Je citerai en exemple le mot barnais ter, bien connu
des leveurs : en franais vairon , parasite des bovins dont la larve
provoque une tumeur et une perforation de la peau. Lespy dit dans
sa dfinition : le ver qui troue les cuirs . Molyneux a cru quil sagissait
du cuir des livres, do la traduction quil en donne : bookworm, littralement ver des livres et au sens figur rat de bibliothque .
Autre exemple : le patronyme Darrenougu, mot mot derrire-lenoyer , est devenu la dernire Noix (the last nut). Ailleurs cest
la bime qui devient chvre (she-goat). On peut citer aussi pi de
mas confondu avec balle des crales (lou cabelh de milhoc e
lou poub). Il est vrai que, pour un Anglais, le mas est une plante
exotique ! II arrive parfois que le typographe lise mal les notes manuscrites. Ainsi langlais b-o-i-l (furoncle) est traduit par boucherie . En fait, il sagissait de bouchorle (ampoule) mot dans lequel
le o et le l avaient t pris pour e et i ! Quelques accents sont oublis,
ce qui fait quon ne distingue plus bouhade (souffle) de bouhad (soufflet).
Je maperois que je traite de plus en plus la traduction du livre de
Lespy comme un vocabulaire et non comme une grammaire. Sans doute
parce que le vocabulaire permet de passer facilement dune langue
lautre. Ce qui me fait penser que cest ce ct qui a d intresser au
premier chef les anglophones. la lecture de ce livre qumaillent
ces expressions idiomatiques qui pour lapprenti linguiste reprsentent un idal difficilement atteint, je nai pas pu mempcher de songer quil est bien dommage que Molyneux nait pas entrepris une vraie
mthode dapprentissage, la rfrence ici tant la Mthode Assimil avec lAnglais sans peine qui a permis des gnrations
daborder la langue de Shakespeare par la phrase lgendaire : My
tailor is rich . Cette phrase fait toujours rire, mais la mthode mar-

che ! Les tudiants de gascon qui ont utilis Lo Gascon lu e plan de

Michel Grosclaude peuvent en tmoigner.
Dans sa traduction de la Grammaire proprement dite, Molyneux,
tout en sefforant dtre concis, a le souci de rester clair. Son texte
est calqu point par point sur le texte franais de Lespy (et la numrotation est la mme, ce qui est une bonne chose). Il en a les qualits
et les dfauts. Il en a la dmarche patiente qui procde pas pas,
tenant le lecteur par la main. Il en a aussi, hlas ! le caractre excessivement scolaire qui inflige au lecteur une surdose de termes abstraits. Ctait sans doute invitable, tant donn lapproche purement
grammaticale, sappuyant presque exclusivement sur la langue crite.
On aura remarqu que les indications de Lespy sur la manire de
prononcer sont minutieuses. Il ne se lasse pas de rpter, par exemple, la description du son e final sonnant comme un o doux, distinguer du e final doucement ferm. Molyneux est, par la prcision et la
patience pdagogique, la hauteur de Lespy.
Habituellement, Molyneux dcrit les sons par rapport au systme
franais avec servilit, dirais-je. Il sen libre rarement pour faire
appel la phontique anglaise. Il signale le son de y dans minya,
rapproche la prononciation de beroy de celle de boy, note que n en fin
de mot a le son anglais. Il me semble quon aurait pu, sadressant
des anglophones, tenter plus souvent une explication par les sons de
langlais. Il ne dit jamais que le h barnais ressemble au h anglais.
Il ne semble pas avoir remarqu que le barnophone a plus de facilit pour prononcer langlais que le francophone !
On peut se demander aujourdhui si faire un livre pour que des Anglais apprennent le barnais ntait pas une gageure. Pourtant ceux
qui lont tent ntaient pas fous. Il devait exister un rel besoin. Si je
me reporte un peu plus dun sicle en arrire, je suis peu prs sr
qu cette poque-l la masse des paysans barnais ne comprenait
pas bien le franais. Mon grand-pre, n en 1871, avait donc dix-sept
ans lorsque parut le livre de Molyneux. Il savait parler le franais,
quil avait appris lcole du village, mais beaucoup moins couramment que le barnais, qui tait sa vraie langue, sa rfrence de tous
les instants. Jai connu personnellement, il y a moins de dix ans, une
vieille femme qui il fallait traduire le franais de la vie courante en
barnais !
Cependant, sil sagissait de permettre aux Anglais de communiquer avec les barnophones, je ne crois pas que la chose tait ralisable. Le succs du livre a d tre un succs de curiosit. crire une
grammaire descriptive du barnais nallait pas apprendre aux Anglais parler notre langue. Cela ne pouvait tre au mieux quun divertissement. Cependant, Molyneux, en dpit de sa finesse dans lanalyse, ne semble pas avoir os se lancer franchement dans ce qui aurait
pu convenir son public : une sorte de causerie familire autour du
barnais. Au contraire, dans sa traduction de la Grammaire proprement dite, il sen tient aux notions purement grammaticales. Dans le
souci de ne pas faire trop long, sans doute, il a laiss dlibrment
de ct les parties les moins techniques, qui auraient t plus accessibles. Ainsi les cinquante-deux pages du Recueil de textes au
moyen duquel Lespy illustre lvolution de la langue sont cartes.
On aurait pu en donner une traduction anglaise. Il en est de mme
des aperus historiques, philologiques et anecdotiques parfois
polmiques dont Lespy aime entrelarder son cours. Molyneux rend

en quatre lignes les onze pages de Lespy sur Quelques noms de

lieux en Barn tels que Abidos, Siros, Glos. Refusant la polmique, il dclare prudemment que personne nest jamais parvenu une
conclusion satisfaisante sur ce sujet (quoique nombreux sont ceux
qui ont essay dtablir une relation entre la Grce et le Barn). Ailleurs,
traitant des Noms juxtaposs , Lespy se laisse aller son got
pour les questions lexicales. Il explique longuement des expressions
telle que bouhe-brac (essouffl), bernat-pudent (punaise des
bois) ou camaligue (jarretire). Son traducteur essaie de suivre en
condensant et tout en faisant un tri. Il note los binat (la pomme
dAdam), mais il saute berret de boeu , symbole du mari tromp.
Le refus du dtail anecdotique lui fait gagner de la place, mais au
prix dune impression assez pnible de scheresse.
Pour terminer, je dirai que lentreprise de Molyneux a ceci de paradoxal quelle se situe dans une atmosphre danglomanie. Lors de
lexposition Pau ville anglaise en 1978, le professeur Tucoo-Chala
pouvait souligner limpact britannique sur le commerce palois. Il cite
lhumoriste Bertall qui crivait en 1875 :
Pau nest pas une ville franaise. Pau appartient videmment et
clairement lAngleterre. Nos amis Anglais, qui jadis ont occup la
Guyenne et la Gascogne, ont conserv une invincible attraction pour
le Barn et ils ont conserv Pau comme leur dernier boulevard. Ils y
ont transplant leurs murs, leurs coutumes et leurs plaisirs... Ce
ne sont partout que family htels, boarding houses, cottages et english
houses. Les Anglais sont chez eux Pau .
Ils se sentaient tellement chez eux quils ont pu tre agacs par la
servilit des commerants palois soucieux surtout de traire, si je puis
dire, la poule aux ufs dor. Ainsi lintrt port par eux la langue
barnaise serait une recherche utopique sans doute de la puret originelle en pays de Barn...
