But what will be the adjectival form of Beyoncé (assuming it is a noun)?

Quote

'"The notoriety of the person and their work in France and in the French-speaking area; the permanence of this notoriety; its legitimacy and recognition among the public, critics and their peers; the universality of the work; the accessibility of the content of this work and its availability; and consistency with the values of Petit Larousse, those of excellence, to the promotion of French culture,"

This will be the third word she is responsible for adding into a dictionary.

 

And people claim she has no cultural impact, and that we cannot measure it if she did...and yet language is perhaps one of the most used aspects of culture and we have tangible instances where she has not only swayed and impacted language, but contributed it in such a way that requires an actual dictionary to take notice and put it in their "book".
