This paper presents relationships that exist among legal concepts within a selected domain. The domain is based on corpora created for the purpose of this study. All the described relationships are those of sense, but they are of different nature. We distinguish three groups: semantic relationships, relationships based on legal text and semantic roles. After delimiting key notions, such as “concept” and “term”, this study briefly describes each group of relationships and offers examples and analyses related to the presented data. We attempt to find a uniform way to formalize the relationships by using lexical functions...
LegTerm : projet d’une banque de données multilingue des termes juridiques du droit nationalFrench

Designing a bilingual or multilingual lexicographic tool that captures the equivalences between legal terms in different national laws and helps translators understand the intended meaning poses a complex challenge. Legal terminology is characterized by non-corresponding concepts, term polysemy, and imprecise meanings. Existing tools either focus on content for legal professionals or provide simple word-form equivalences for translators. The LegTerm project aims to bridge this gap by offering a simple and efficient terminological tool that combines the advantages of a dictionary and an encyclopedia, catering to different legal systems and languages....

The aim of this study is to examine terminological variation in the field of textile fibres in French from the 18th century to the present day, with a focus on two communicative situations: production and marketing. The analysis is conducted on a corpus comprising different text types, published in the specified period. After a presentation of the theoretical framework and methodology, a typology of textile fibre names used in production (chemical names, code names, etc.) and marketing (brand names, trade names, etc.) is proposed. In addition, different types of references involved in the creation of these terms are analysed in order to formulate hypotheses...
¿Lo tácito pero sobreentendido? Una primera inmersión en la elipsis en la interacción coloquial argentinaSpanish
Tacit but understood? A first immersion in ellipsis in Argentine colloquial interaction

Écho des études romanes 2023, 19(2):61-82 | DOI: 10.32725/eer.2023.016
Existing research on ellipsis in Spanish has primarily relied on prototypical examples analogous to Anglophone literature, applying an a priori theoretical framework that involves the principle of economy, coordination, and polarity, along with a list of concepts such as gapping, sluicing, short answer. In response, this study presents initial observations on elliptical constructions in spontaneous spoken interaction based on its own sociolinguistically balanced oral corpus of Argentine Spanish. The core of the study is the description of data in a sequential context using the conversation analytic case-by-case method, aiming to highlight the...

De Vengeance de Julie D. Kurtness et Nauetakuan de Natasha Kanapé Fontaine : une amérindianité urbaine ?French
De Vengeance (Of Revenge) by Julie D. Kurtness and Nauetakuan by Natasha Kanapé Fontaine : an urban Amerindianity?

Écho des études romanes 2023, 19(2):97-104 | DOI: 10.32725/eer.2023.018
The literature of the First Nations constitutes a recent and, until now, specific stratum within Quebec literature. For a long time attached, both in poetry and in prose, to places of origin, such as reserves, forests, nature, and to stories oriented towards the past and traditions, it is beginning to permeate the urban space. What then becomes of urban modernity and how does it articulate with the identity modelling that accompanies Quebec literature as one of its components? To explore these questions, we examine two recent novels – De Vengeance by Julie D. Kurtness and Nauetakuan by Natasha Kanapé Fontaine – which offer...
Roses – texte et/ou image : Louise Dupré et Anouk Van RenterghemFrench
Roses – text and/or painting : Louise Dupré and Anouk Van Renterghem

Écho des études romanes 2023, 19(2):105-120 | DOI: 10.32725/eer.2023.019
The collection Roses by Louise Dupré, a Quebec poet, novelist, playwright, and by Anouk Van Renterghem, a Brussels artist, highlights a compelling synergy between the arts-literature and painting. This colorful collection engages both the eye and the ear, inviting to a musical perception of the poetic word, while retaining the scentof a particular spring. Roses stands out through the incorporation of the textual and graphic universe. Each poem is accompanied by a pastel in pink tones that enriches and complements the poetic text. Our focus is on the artistic strategies facilitating the correspondences, the analogies, and the union of...
Les « littératures de terrain » dans le Québec contemporain. Premier balayage théorique suivi de quelques exemples concretsFrench
"Field literature" in contemporary Quebec. A first theoretical overview, followed by some concrete examples

Écho des études romanes 2023, 19(2):121-130 | DOI: 10.32725/eer.2023.021
The article analyzes the notion of “field literature”, recently introduced by Dominique Viart, and questions the extent to which it would be applicable to certain contemporary Quebec novels. On the example of La Femme qui fuit (Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette, 2015), Kuessipan (Naomi Fontaine, 2019) and Encabanée (Gabrielle Filteau-Chiba, 2018), it demonstrates that, on the one hand, there is a similarity of approaches between today’s French literary theory and Canadian book production. However, at the same time, the three novels examined express a specifically Canadian sensibility which only partially corresponds...
