Georges Mounin, born Louis Leboucher, who also wrote under the pseudonym Jean Boucher (June 20, 1910 – January 10, 1993) was a French linguist, translator and semiotician.
Louis Julien Leboucher was the son of a glass-maker.
He started using the pseudonym 'Georges Mounin' in 1943, to escape censorship by the Vichy government.
He was an Italianist who wrote on the theory of translation, the history of linguistics, stylistics and semiology.
