Designing technical concepts in the elaboration of a thematic bilingual French/Yambeta agricultural lexicon (De la dénomination des concepts techniques dans l'élaboration d'un lexique thématique agricole bilingue français yambetta) [in French]

This paper lashes out processes and methods of coinage used to set up a bilingual thematic lexicon (French-Yambetta). Yambeta is a not very known Cameroonian language. The cultural approach suggested by Marcel Diki-Kidiri and the others (2008) has enabled on one hand to analyze the conceptual content of the agricultural terms in French in order to specify what they refer to indeed; and on the other hand to analyze the motivations at the basis of such denominations. Thanks to these pieces of information, the perception of the content of the studied terms has been revised. This revision has led to a new coinage in conformity with the Yambeta culture. Therefore, unlike the French language, Yambeta has both lexical and grammatical peculiarities which are perceivable through the lexicon set up. Mots clés : dénomination, terminologie culturelle, lexique agricole, yambetta.
