Définition(s)

  • Joseph Heller's book Catch-22 (1961) made famous the peculiar nature of military language. A World War II veteran, Heller invented characters who dealt with improbable combinations of words that led to officers named Major Major and tackled entirely new situations that seemingly exhausted the possibilities of the English language.
