André Goosse
André Goosse (16 April 1926, Liège – 4 August 2019) was a Belgian grammarian. The son-in-law of Maurice Grevisse, he took over editing and updating Grevisse's last book, ''Le Bon Usage''. In 1988, he married the Belgian writer France Bastia. Professor at the Université Catholique de Louvain, he was also the president of the Conseil international de la langue française. His earliest research was carried out on the work of the 14th century writer from Liège, Jean d'Outremeuse. His work, carried out under the direction of Omer Jodogne, turned into a thesis which he defended in 1959, which was published in 1965. Notable among his publications is a work exposing and commenting on the '' Les rectifications de l'orthographe'' ("corrections to orthography"), which was a report published on 6 December 1990 in the Journal officiel de la République française.

Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. It is called a scientific study because it entails a comprehensive, systematic, objective, and precise analysis of all aspects of language, particularly its nature and structure. Linguistics is concerned with both the cognitive and social aspects of language.
