Résumé

Based on the fact that anglicisms are lexical items that function in French discourse, our research question can be formulated as follows: how are anglicims primed in French? or more appropriately: how are anglicisms primed in a specific corpus of written text, of a specific genre, for a specific community of French language writers and readers at a given time? The aim of this paper is exploratory, with a relatively limited scope, given constraints of resources; it aims to identify the most frequent ICT-related lexical items and their primings in one particular register and text type, i.e. online (Web) journalistic writing and ICT news in French. We hope to widen the scope in future work to lexical items borrowed from English and used in French or other languages from other semantic fields, a larger quantity and various types of discourse in terms of genre and register and compare primings of imitated loanwords to adapted ones (e.g. compare primings of "système d'exploitation" (operating system) to the commonly used English abbreviation "OS" also used as such in French).
