Porter une somme au débit d'un compte. 4, record 4, French, - d%C3%A9biter
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
On dit «débiter quelqu'un ou un compte d'une somme», «imputer une somme à/sur ...», «porter une somme au débit de quelqu'un ou d'un compte», «inscrire une somme au débit de quelqu'un ou d'un compte». Il faut noter que le terme général «imputer» recouvre les deux notions anglaises «debit» et «credit» (voir COMPB, 1980, page 441). 5, record 4, French, - d%C3%A9biter
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 OBS
La construction «Sont débitées à ce compte les sommes ...» constituerait un calque syntaxique fautif de «shall be charged all moneys ...». En revanche, la construction inverse est possible avec «porter au débit», («Sont portés au débit du compte les paiements...»). 6, record 4, French, - d%C3%A9biter
