Anthropologie de la communication : la question du féminin en français

Abstract

This contribution aims at exposing the communicational difficulties caused by the variety of French language treatment of feminization around the world, and especially of the feminization of professional functions. After an historical approach, we expose the present situation through comparisons between Quebec, Belgium and France, based on an Internet corpus and the problems it leads to regarding the teaching of French language itself.
