Translating Polysyndeton: A new approach to “Idiomaticism”
This experimental study is a synthetic presentation of a series of “rules” relative to the construction of complex sentences in French, specifically with regards to the use of coordinated structures. It is an adaptation of part of my PhD dissertation, whose subject was the translation of “polysyndet...

These “rules” or “tendencies” could be particularly useful for learners of French as a foreign language. Cette étude expérimentale présente, de manière synthétique, une série de « règles » relatives à la construction de la phrase complexe en français, en s’attachant plus spécifiquement à l’usage des structures coordonnées. Il s’agit d’une adaptation d’une partie de ma thèse doctorale portant sur la traduction de la « polysyndète » de l’anglais au français, menée dans une optique « pragmatique » tel que ce concept a été défini par Jean-René Ladmiral. En tant que traductologue, l’approche qui est la mienne n’est ni celle d’un linguiste, ni celle d’un spécialiste en études littéraires, mais bien celle d’un chercheur intéressé principalement par la pragmatique de la traduction. À cet égard, ce travail ne se place dans aucun cadre théorique — et en particulier, linguistique — exclusif (la traductologie étant, par nature, un champ pluridisciplinaire). Le principal objectif de cette recherche était d’aboutir à une meilleure compréhension de ce que l’on nomme traditionnellement — mais de façon trop floue — l’« idiomatisme », notamment en ce qui concerne la langue française. Tout au long de l’article, le concept d’« idiomatisme » a été décrit comme étant une série de « tendances de l’esprit » ayant une certaine influence sur la syntaxe de la phrase française, mais sans qu’elles en soient des constituants formels (c’est-à-dire, grammaticaux). Ces « règles » ou « tendances » pourraient s’avérer particulièrement utiles pour les étudiants de FLE. |

This experimental study is a synthetic presentation of a series of “rules” relative to the construction of complex sentences in French, specifically with regards to the use of coordinated structures. It is an adaptation of part of my PhD dissertation, whose subject was the translation of “polysyndeton” from English into French, observed from a “pragmatic” perspective as defined by Jean-René Ladmiral. As a translatologist, my approach is neither that of a linguist, nor that of a literature scholar, but that of a researcher mainly interested in the pragmatics of translation.
