Abstract
«No one says more consult the dictionary but see what the Larousse says». This slogan in the preface of the 1948 Petit Larousse edition makes us to understand the importance of this compact version of a dictionary that has gradually become a fundamental linguistic and encyclopedic reference. Its enormous diffusionboth at schools and at home, makes it a privileged source to study how the image of concepts, notions, facts, figures evolves in the French school and popular culture. In this article, we intend to analyze the idea of peace and pacifism, also in comparison with war, and its evolution in liguistic and encyclopedic terms along the different editions of the dictionary between the first (1905) and more recent.
