Langue française - Année 1995 - Volume 108 - Numéro 1 - Pages 108-111A. GOOSSE : The Conseil international de la Langue française and Orthography On two consecutive occasions, the CILF devoted long working sessions to the problem of orthography : firstly, when a report on the Thimonnier project was requested by the Education Ministry and the Académie française ; and secondly, when a number of lexicographers were brought together at the behest of CILF president Joseph Hanse in order to reduce the number of discrepancies both in and between major dictionaries. These two substantial reports were not followed by any immediate effect, in spite of their being well accepted by the other French-speaking countries. However, the reports paved the way for the recent rectifications of French orthography, proposed in 1990 by the Conseil supérieur de la Langue française. 4 pages Source : Persée ; Ministère de la jeunesse, de l’éducation nationale et de la recherche, Direction de l’enseignement supérieur, Sous-direction des bibliothèques et de la documentation.
