Du colinguisme à l’emploi des termes multilingues. Une nouvelle perspective sur la dynamique des langues

Abstract

Languages grow and continuously evolve as new units, including terms, enter the communicative circuit, therefore bringing up to date the communicative means of the speakers from different societies. Nevertheless, consideration should be given to the effects of globalisation, which at the present time, are leaving their mark on all areas of human activity, and terminology is no exception. In this paper, we shall try to reassess the results of the functioning of these phenomena with an outlook towards a series of terms that underwent an analysis from a multilingual approach.
