Résumé anglais Verlan 2000. Based on the analysis of a corpus collected over a ten year period, this article presents a small number of rules which will account for coding in « verlan » of monosyllabic and polysyllabic words as well as two syllabe words. The analysis shows the evolution in the application of the rules which has resulted in the complexification of the encoding process, the existence of stylistic variants and an alteration of the phonological and morphological structure of the coded words. An evolution can also be noted on the level of the basic vocabulary which, by incorporating words of origins other than French, has made verlan a true reflection of the marginalized multiracial youth culture, a form of argot which can still function as a secret language.
