Résumé
Georges Métailié : Terminologie et approche interculturelle : terminologies du chinois. Is Chinese language able to describe world? Can we think with such a language? These questions were rather frequent a few years ago. The paper is dealing with the way Chinese language, by virtue of its way of designating reality, classifies the world. The ideograms, using mimetic keys, cannot but classify objects. There are several historical reasons explaining the constitution of scientific Chinese. Here are described some of them, picking up examples in terminologies of modern Chinese.
