lempisonnement

Lempissonnement is a concept in French humor and satire, particularly associated with Mauricette Berhouet, a French writer and poet. The term describes the manner of speaking or writing in a monotone, like a limp, dragging or sloping sound, and is often used to mock individuals or styles where an exaggerated flatness and dullness of inflection or expression are perceived.

Lempissonnement is often used to characterize speakers or writers who mechanically deliver their words without much inflection, as if droning a sigh, making them sound bored, dull, or abstracted. This is a concept opposed to elocution, where speakers intentionally use intonations, stresses, or variations in speaking speed in order to express themselves clearly and expressively.

Berhouet, who wrote several treatises in French literature, used Lempissonnement in their writings to describe different forms of exaggerated, unwieldy language use that result in partial or unclear expressions of thought or ideas. However, perspective on the utility and validity of these works are mixed among literary critics. Additionally, beyond criticism of language in literary circles, Lempissonnement has sometimes been used in popular satire and humor.
