Abstract
Balzac's lively interest in linguistic invention is related to the widespread fascination with neologism displayed by such contemporaries of his as Charles Nodier and Brillat-Savarin. His self-conscious espousal of lexical innovation in his early journalism is both satirical and creative, as may be seen from the continuity presented by La Peau de chagrin. It forms a core element in the evolution of a narrative discourse that advertises a keen awareness of the ambiguous status of its medium.
