 The ERC grant allowed me to achieve in five years what I would have done in 20 years. Professor Olivier Patrang does not disguise the immense importance of the ERC grant he received in 2007. The grant enabled the French professor of linguistics to build a world-class interdisciplinary team. We have philosophers, historians, linguists, paleographers, and we all work together in order to better understand the political science vocabulary. Based at the laboratory at TILF, in Angsi, Professor Patrang and his team are uncovering the history, meaning and evolution of the political science vocabulary and how it has evolved throughout the centuries. This work is based upon the first translation of St. Augustine's The City of God, in which political words and concepts emerged in the French language for the very first time. Here is the manuscript and here is the program on the computer that we use to make the transcription. So either with this format or with this format, so we can really make a very good edition of the text. In particular, Professor Patrang works on new words and concepts called neologisms and examines their evolution, for instance, the word democracy. The word democracy in French, democracy has been created at the end of the 14th century in France, in Paris, by a translator of Aristotle's politics. Today, when you look at people using this word, most of them use it with the meaning of liberty. According to Professor Patrang, excellence in his field of research is essentially all about working together with people from different fields of research. When asked about his dreams for the future, Professor Patrang also stresses the wish for more scientific collaboration across Europe. Actually, my academic dreams for the next decade would be to work with other specialists of the evolution of languages, but not only in French, but also in English, in German, in Spanish and other languages.
