| Summary: | Terminologies can be examined in many ways. One of them is to observe when they escape their usual scope of usage. In order to reestablish intercomprehension, discourses that are intended for "non-experts" attempt to give them meaning through an effort of discursive negotiation that seeks to facilitate the emergence of the meaning of terms. The contrastive analysis of a corpus of medical documents, brochures for cancer patients and discussion forums shows a specific economy of discourse through metalinguistic forms that are both similar and specific. If the corpus reveals expected uses of metalinguistics as an explanatory tool, it appears that there is more to it. |
