French term or phrase: processus d'appropriation langagière
Course description.

Context:

A 2 Interaction et acquisition des langues

Ce cours offre une introduction aux théories de l'acquisition-apprentissage des langues étrangères, notamment dans le cadre des développements récents qui donnent à l'interaction verbale une place centrale dans les **processus d'appropriation langagière.**

Does this has to do with the appropriate use of a foreign language?

Merci!

process of linguistic appropriation


Explanation:
Nothing to do with appropriate use of a foreign language, but rather the borrowing of words from one language and incorporating them into another, usually with the result that they become part of the latter's morphology. Nowadays we see this mostly in the fields of science and technology, but also sports and tourism.

Many references online if you Google "linguistic appropriation".

disagree  Michele Fauble: 'appropriation d'une langue'/'appropriation langagière' = 'language acquisition'

  -> Ha! I had no idea it was a faux ami! Who'd have thunk?! Thanks for pointing this out, writeaway.
neutral  writeaway: I always translate French with the idea that the more it looks like English, the greater the danger. It always 'looks' so easy but it basically never is.... (au contraire) :-)

  -> Too true! And an excellent reminder. Thank you! ;)
