[...] malgré son sens relativement étroit dans la langue courante, le verbe alléguer recouvre, dans la langue juridique, essentiellement la même notion que le verbe anglais «to allege». Toutefois, contrairement à «to allege», le verbe alléguer ne s'applique qu'à des faits et non pas à des personnes. Ainsi, on peut dire les faits allégués par la défense, mais pas le meurtrier allégué, calque de l'anglais «alleged murderer». Enfin, l'emploi du verbe français alléguer est beaucoup moins fréquent que celui du verbe anglais «to allege». 4, record 6, French, - pr%C3%A9tendre
