The different activities that characterize the planning, sponsoring and execution of terrorist acts, measures and strategies for countering terrorism, lead to new terminological constructions in English and French. However, research shows that terminologists are yet to show interest in the study, analysis, and development of the field even though the daily activities, exchanges, debates, etc., involving specialists, scholars, researchers, politicians, stakeholders, or terrorists, who either perpetrate or fight against terrorism, lead to abundant lexical creativity. The present terminological inactivity in the field of terrorism may be, among other reasons, due to the fact that the definition of terrorism remains a purely theoretical issue and that one mans terrorist often turns out to be another mans freedom fighter. This study is an effort to remedy the terminological lacunae in the field of terrorism. It contributes to the increasing efforts to understand and document terrorism in all its ramifications. The study explores the concept of terrorism from the etymology of the term, its present lack of a generally acceptable definition, to the different reactions and measures for countering terrorism at both domestic (from the perspective of a select number of countries) and international (from the perspective of the international communityUnited Nations) levels. It explores the status of terrorism as a terminological domain with the aim of: a) analyzing the concepts and notional structures of the field of terrorism; b) identifying the terms assigned to the concepts; c) establishing correspondence between terrorism terms in French and their English equivalents; d) compiling a bilingual (French/English) lexicon for the subject field. The study highlights not only the functions of terminological units in different discourse contexts, but also the attitudes of humans in relation to term usage in a variety of cultural, ideological and religious contexts.

The present terminological inactivity in the field of terrorism may be, among other reasons, due to the fact that the definition of terrorism remains a purely theoretical issue and that one man’s terrorist often turns out to be another man’s freedom fighter.

Cette thèse de doctorat porte sur la première crèche parentale bilingue anglais-français établie dans la ville de Strasbourg, France. En utilisant une approche ethnographique, cette recherche examine le lien qui existe entre la politique linguistique identifiée et les facteurs sociaux. La problématique de recherche a été formulée ainsi : comment fonctionne une structure éducative bilingue dédiée à la petite enfance du point de vue des politiques linguistiques, quelles sont les implications du choix de la politique une personne, une langue (UPUL) sur les pratiques des acteurs éducatifs et des familles au sein de la crèche en question, et quel est le lien entre le bilinguisme déclaré de la structure et le multilinguisme des familles ? Enfin l’étude des choix de langues dans un contexte tel que celui de la petite enfance apporte-t-elle une compréhension nouvelle de la notion de politique linguistique éducative ? De plus, cet effort de recherche vise à combler une lacune dans les études de LP qui, dans une certaine mesure, sont concentrées soit sur le cadre familial, soit sur le cadre de l’éducation formelle. / This doctoral thesis focuses on the first parental English-French bilingual crèche established in the multilingual city of Strasbourg, France. Using an ethnographic approach, this research looks into the relationship of language policy with social factors. With the one person, one language (OPOL) policy as this ECEC setting’s identified language policy (LP), my aim is to understand its language policy processes. Primarily informed by Spolsky’s tripartite LP conceptualisation, I seek to analyse the following: the declared language policy or what the proponents say about how they manage languages; the perceived language policy or what they believe about OPOL; and the practiced language policy or what they do and how they implement the said LP. Moreover, following Johnson (2009), I also address the multilayered dimension of LP and look at the agents, goals, processes and discourses involved in the creation of this crèche. Moreover, this research endeavour aims to address a gap in LP studies that to a certain extent have focused on either family or formal educational settings.

Cette thèse s'inscrit dans une dynamique et une perspective plurielles car elle interroge essentiellement les sciences du langage, les sciences de l'éducation, mais emprunte également à l'économie de l'éducation, la sociologie de l'éducation, et la docimologie. Le point de départ de ce travail s'enracine dans notre questionnement permanent sur les faiblesses des systèmes éducatifs d'Afrique subsaharienne. Le cœur de notre travail interroge le bilinguisme officiel français-anglais à l'Éducation de base et les raisons pour lesquels le Cameroun ne parvient pas à atteindre ce bilinguisme scolaire. L'analyse à visée évaluative de la politique linguistique éducative montre in fine que le bilinguisme officiel au Cameroun est un bilinguisme de façade et les raisons essentielles de ce constat sont identifiées.Sur le plan méthodologique, les observables relèvent de techniques qualitatives courantes en sciences humaines (enquêtes de terrain fondées sur des entretiens semi-directifs, observations de classes, méta-analyses) et de techniques quantitatives issues principalement du domaine de l'économie de l'éducation.La perspective retenue dans la formulation des recommandations relève d'une approche aussi systémique que le permettait le cadre de notre étude et d'une tentative de pont entre le Nord et le Sud. Cette démarche nous a notamment conduit à nous appuyer, en particulier, sur les travaux sur le plurilinguisme du Conseil de l'Europe. Certes le terrain de recherche qui est le nôtre, l'Afrique subsaharienne francophone, est totalement différent du contexte européen, en apparence. Mais des points de convergence existent et il est certainement possible de dégager matière à réflexion de ces recherches axées uniquement sur l'Europe. S'il ne s'agit pas de plaquer les résultats obtenus dans ces recherches sur un terrain aussi différent que le Cameroun, il nous a semblé cependant qu'une contextualisation pourrait permettre, dans une perspective de mutualisation des bonnes pratiques, des évolutions intéressantes du bilinguisme scolaire au Cameroun.L'originalité de ce travail repose sur la thématique choisie, une contribution à l'analyse de la politique linguistique éducative dans une perspective évaluative, et sur l'introduction de méthodes issues du monde des consultants en éducation pour l'examen de cette politique. / This thesis is part of a dynamic and pluralistic perspective because it essentially asks the language sciences, science education, but also borrows from the economics of education, sociology of education, and docimology. The starting point of this work is rooted in our constant questioning about the weaknesses of sub-Saharan Africa education systems. The heart of our work questions the official French -English bilingualism in basic education and the reasons for which the Cameroon fails to reach this school bilingualism. The analysis referred to evaluative language education policy ultimately shows that official bilingualism in Cameroon is a bilingual facade and the main reasons for this situation are identified.On the methodological level, observable within current qualitative techniques in the social sciences (field surveys based on semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, meta-analyzes) and quantitative techniques mainly from the field of economics of education.The perspective adopted in the formulation of recommendations is part of a systemic approach also permitted the scope of this study and an attempt to bridge between North and South. This approach has led us to support us including, in particular, the work on multilingualism of the Council of Europe. While the field of research that is ours, Francophone Sub-Saharan Africa is totally different from the European context, apparently. But the points of convergence exist and it is certainly possible to identify to think of this research focused only on Europe. If it is not to flatten the results obtained in this research one as different as Cameroon ground, it seemed, however, that contextualization could afford, with a view to sharing best practices, interesting developments bilingual school in Cameroon.The originality of this work is based on the chosen theme, a contribution to the analysis of language education policy in an evaluative perspective, and the introduction of methods from the worlds of education consultants for review of this policy.
