In speaking or writing English , a Gallicism often results from a direct translation from French, giving an unidiomatic expression. False Cognate s often provide occasions for Gallicisms: For example, using the verb ''to assist'' to mean ''to be present at'' (as in the French ''assister à'') is a Gallicism. SEE ALSO
