« Anonymous » quotations in Feraud's Dictionnaire critique. Abbé Féraud's Dictionaire Critique (1787), with its made-up examples and quotations, contains a rather large number of anonymous quotations. Either these are followed by the sign Anon. , which Féraud seems to use more freely than usual ; or they are attributed to « a modern author » unnamed ; or the reference is reduced to the title of a periodical. This type of example, which is neither the quotation of an author nor a made-up example — but nevertheless an example — functions at times as an « objet de critique » (the model of the Dictionnaire Grammatical is continued in the Dictionaire Critique), at other times as a « simple exemple ». Féraud is a grammarian and it is the grammatical tradition, rather than the lexicological, that accounts for ordinary discourse, in order to correct it, or in order to describe it and define therein the usage.
