Médiation et anglicismes en français et en italien

As a result of the harmonizing framework of European law, mediation practices in France and Italy are highly influenced by North American concepts. Legally, mediation is reduced to one of the modes of conflict resolution aiming to avoid recourse to institutional justice. Linguistically, discourse on mediation is increasingly full of anglicisms, observable, for instance, on official Web sites or in a terminographic bilingual book. This article provides illustrations of this influence from a comparative French-Italian terminological perspective
