International audienceOver the course of the years, French language has been – and is still – impacted by various interferences and additions from the English language, such as loanwords, as well as a growing and alarming degradation of lexical and grammatical competencies of native speakers; furthermore, it has to face the development of young people language, typically tied to a specific area or social-cultural group. This article will attempt to present key decisions taken by the French government for primary schools, high schools and university, in order to safeguard the French language from these changes.Quest’articolo si propone di presentare i provvedimenti presi dalla scuola primaria e secondaria e dall’università francesi, tramite interventi legislativi e direttive dei rispettivi ministeri, a salvaguardia della lingua francese, toccata da anni da interferenze e prestiti dall’inglese nonché da un degrado progressivo e allarmante delle competenze lessicali e grammaticali dei locutori e uno sviluppo di parlate giovanili spesso legate a determinati territori o gruppi socio-culturali
