premise: Writing Degree Zero (French: "Le degré zéro de l'écriture" ) is a book of literary criticism by Roland Barthes. First published in 1953, it was Barthes' first full-length book and was intended, as Barthes writes in the introduction, as "no more than an Introduction to what a History of Writing might be."
hypothesis: Le degré zéro de l'écriture is french for writing degree zero.
reason: As per the statement both the french and english names of the book are mentioned. I think the system found it difficult because it wasn't able to relate both names.
