Terminologie discursive et traduction : « mode de vie » vs « way of life / lifestyle » dans les documents institutionnels français et anglais de l’Union européenne (1964-2019)

This article will investigate a corpus drawn from Eur-lex – the EU’s legal documents database – from 1964 to 2019 to see how the French syntagm “mode de vie” and its equivalents (“way of life” and “lifestyle”) in the English “eurospeak” (Goffin 1994) are used in discourse and how, on the contrary, they are present in IATE –the EU’s multilingual terminology database– for translation purposes. The research, which covers a broad diachrony, will show these terms refer to concepts that are different in English. This will allow us to revisit the discourse approach and analysis of terms for translation purposes and to enrich multilingual terminological databases such as IATE.
