I was checking if the OED recognises Derrida's (I think) coinage, "differance". Apparently, it does not. There are a couple (of) quotes by Derrida, but none on the 'differance'. Matter of fact, under 'difference', the OED notes a variant spelling, 'differance', but fails to give a quote for it.

When spoken in French, differance sounds no different than difference, a clever subtilty that, again, is lost in the translation. ... www.cyberartsweb.org/cpace/ theory/maslin/Differance_750.html - 2k - _Cached_ (http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:VS7-T7eZI2MJ:www.cyberartsweb.org/cpace/theory/maslin/Differance_750.html+"difference"+"differance"&hl=en&ie=UTF-8) - _Similar pages_ (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=related:www.cyberartsweb.org/cpace/theory/maslin/Differance_750.html) ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
