Le terme « état frontière » traduit à la fois les termes anglais « borderline » et « borderline case », deux notions distinctes mais étroitement liées. Pour éviter la confusion, il est préférable d'utiliser le terme « cas-limite » pour rendre l'anglais « borderline case » et de réserver « état limite » pour rendre « borderline ». 2, record 1, French, - cas%20limite
