Summary/Abstract: This article explores the linguistic and cultural consequences of the increasing anglicization in the Paris metro, highlighting its role in marginalizing French in public space. Using a multidisciplinary approach combining sociolinguistic analysis, language law, pedagogy and cognitive psychology, it shows how daily exposure to English advertising messages weakens the transmission of the French language. The study also offers recommendations for a reform of urban language policy.
