Papa, maman, bébé, Twingo :une famille de noms propres recomposée
The difficulties in classifying family names such as dad, mom, uncle, son, etc., as proper names or common names, take on a new dimension if we integrate, on the one hand, certain uses of undetermined common names such as baby (ex: If mom is okay, baby is okay), and on the other hand some uses of un...
