Émergence et traitement des métaphores terminologiques dans les dictionnaires

This paper aims at describing the lexicographical treatment of metaphorical terms in French. We will analyse how terms such as cordes (‘ropes’, in string theory), hélice (‘propeller’), nain –(‘dwarf’), which are common language words that acquire a specific meaning in specialised discourse, are integrated into general language dictionaries such as Petit Robert or Larousse.
