Résumé
This paper aims to put into perspective various issues surrounding categorization and approximation, two frequently opposed yet essentially indissociable operations, by comparing the taxonomic expressions in two languages belonging to different language groups (French and Latvian). We mean to verify in particular whether the expressions exhibit the same kind of semantic multifunctionality in the studied languages or, on the contrary, if we observe specific constraints in each language (lexical and grammatical variations, syntactic marking, etc.).
