Comme disent les Anglais/Américains: Identifying and Analyzing Anglicisms in Corpora by Means of Metalinguistic Comments

Résumé

The metalinguistic comments comme disent les Anglais and comme disent les Américains (as the English/Americans say) tend to precede or to follow Anglicisms of all sorts, especially foreignisms, buzzwords, compounds, idioms and other multi-word units mainly as borrowings but also as loan translations in the Francophone press. A corpus-based research on the online archives of sixteen Francophone daily papers and weeklies show the wide range of these Anglicisms. Contrary to idioms such as adopter un profil bas (keep a low profile) or jeter l'éponge (throw the sponge) that have been loan-translated and are consistently used in French, compounds and other types of multi-word units seem to be used much more frequently in English, e.g. snail mail, box-to-box, soft power, out of the box, business is business, the right man at the right place, etc. Quantitative results confirm the increase of multi-word direct borrowings in Francophone journalism. Francophone journalism; metalinguistic comment; newspaper corpus; single-word direct borrowing; multi-word direct borrowing; phraseological loan-translation
