Description:
Ce volume analyse le rapport étroit qui existe entre la structuration des connaissances et l'évolution terminologique et langagière dans la presse scientifique française, en tant que genre textuel, au cours des quarante premières années du XVIIIe siècle.
Review Quotes: «Over and above the purely terminological study which Grimaldi has produced, and which was presumably his primary purpose, it is possible to see through his detailed discussion a facet of the fascinating history of the construction of knowledge during this period when the new sciences were still in the complex process of establishing their bases. [...] It is this contribution to our understanding of the construction of knowledge which makes this book more than a study in historical terminology, and hence of interest beyond the community of terminologists and lexicographers. [...] It will be noted that the book is written in French. However, even for those for whom this is not their native language, the extra effort in reading in this language will pay dividends.»
