L’héritage lexicologique des langues méditerranéennes dans la communication politique

Political communication raises several questions. Firstly, the Mediterranean languages that are considered are Greek and Latin—from the standpoint of the legacy of rhetoric: Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero have not only left us with logos, pathos, and ethos, but also inventio and elocutio. This is also a legacy that manifests itself in everyday vocabulary: l’agora, la propagande, and even les médias. But this heritage is being challenged by the influx of English words, particularly those related to new technologies.
