Une étude de D. Nolet (section Montréal-Québec) portant sur le terme "conteneur" (janvier 1984) établit la pertinence des termes "contenant" et "récipient" et signale que l'utilisation de "conteneur" ne semble pas justifiée. Quant à "container", qui se retrouve dans quelques ouvrages français, il demeure un anglicisme. 4, record 1, French, - contenant
