Pierre de Marivaux#Marivaudage
As Marivaudage one called scientific literature until the 19th century a " spruce, bolted and antithetical pointed " writing style. This type of expression goes back to the French writer Pierre Carlet de Marivaux ( 1688-1763 ).
Even during his lifetime Marivaux's his language and psychological analyzes were by his reviewers (not the audience) pejoratively dismissed as Marivaudage. Even in 1786 blamed the writer La Harpe in Lycée (Vol. I, vol. V, Part 5 ), Marivaux's style as " le mélange de le plus bizarre métaphysique subtle et de locutions trivial, de sentiments Alambiques et de dictons populaires ". Like the first Préciosité was also this "nouvelle préciosité " 1720-1730, the most productive representatives Marivaux was initially in a dictionnaire néologique of Desfontaines, 1726 ridikulisiert. As part of the upgrading of the Rococo literature was Marivaux and the Marivaudage estimated as at least amusing dalliance. As the Marivaux researcher Frédéric Deloffre has demonstrated was the Marivaudage more: a radical new style that would have a suggestive effect in view of the newly recognized insufficiency of language and possessed analytical power.
