Se dit d'un spectacle, d'une émission ou d'un disque enregistrés non pas en studio mais sur une scène devant un public ou d'une émission passant directement à l'antenne sans l'intermédiaire d'un support d'enregistrement. 5, record 1, French, - en%20direct
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[...] le mot anglais «live» ne se substitue pas au français «direct» mais les deux mots sont souvent combinés pour former un nouveau vocable hybride («direct live», «en direct live») qui amalgame deux notions distinctes : le spectacle lui-même, joué en présence de spectateurs, désigné par «live», et une retransmission en temps réel, qu'elle soit radiophonique, télévisée ou diffusée par l'internet, désignée par «en direct». Cet amalgame s'explique par le fait qu'en anglais le mot «live» possède une double signification : ainsi parle-t-on de concert «live» pour désigner un concert donné «en public», et de «live broadcast» pour une émission «en direct». Pour une manifestation artistique, politique, sportive, ou pour un évènement médiatique qui a lieu en présence de spectateurs, au mot anglais «live» correspondent en français les expressions «sur scène», «en public», «devant un public». En revanche, pour la retransmission d'une telle manifestation par un canal médiatique, «live» se traduit en français par «direct» ou «en direct», par opposition à «différé» ou «en différé». 2, record 1, French, - en%20direct
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Ainsi on dira : Notre envoyé spécial va commenter le match «en direct» de Manchester; le débat, qui a eu lieu «en public», a été retransmis «en direct»; nous sommes «en direct» pour vous présenter le concert «public» de cette vedette de la chanson; j'ai acheté un disque de Jacques Brel, c'est un «enregistrement public» (ou «en public») de son dernier spectacle. 2, record 1, French, - en%20direct
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
Les locutions «en direct» et «devant public» peuvent aussi avoir une fonction d'adverbe. Par exemple : enregistrer, présenter devant public, enregistrer, présenter en direct. 5, record 1, French, - en%20direct
