Résumé
Cet article constitue, en quelque sorte, un plaidoyer en faveur d'une étude purement intralinguistique de la réduction des syntagmes terminologiques (ST) au détriment des analyses de type sociohistorique de ce phénomène. La réduction du ST est une manifestation de sa "dynamique discursive". On distingue deux types de réductions : la reprise anaphorique dont les produits ne jouissent d'aucune autonomie contextuelle, et la réduction à caractère lexical qui permet de dériver des ST réduits pouvant transcender le milieu contextuel immédiat.
Abstract
In this article, we argue in favor of a purely intralinguistic approach to the study of the reduction of complex terms (CT), and reject any sociohistoric analysis of this phenomenon. The reduction of complex terms is one of a number of ways in which a CT interacts with the sentence or sequence of sentences in which it appears, and is an expression of its "discourse dynamics'.' We've identified two types of reduction: an anaphoric one, the products of which have no contextual autonomy, and a lexical one, the products of which are able to transcend the immediate contextual environment in which they were derived.
