Summary/Abstract: Literary practice in one or more foreign languages has been experienced by an impressive number of authors over the centuries. Translingual writers are writers who have practiced literature, exclusively or not, in a second language or in several. Many French-speaking writers have the tendency to produce a reflection on languages and language, and often even to make language one the main subjects of their writing. The change of language and its consequences in the life of exiles also occupy a prominent place in autobiographical accounts, novels and essays.
