Les marques d'usage logiques établissent les relations logiques entre termes correspondants. La relation logique qui se rencontre le plus souvent en recherche terminologique est celle de générique à spécifique. (...) Le terme français "table de salon", par exemple, correspondant à "coffee table" en anglais, se situe dans cette relation. TABLE DE SALON peut recouvrir d'autres espèces de tables : "cocktail", "lamp", "cigarette", "end tables". (...) La conséquence de ces rapports logiques entre termes correspondants est de limiter les possibilités de traduire un terme par son correspondant. (...) "coffee table" peut se rendre par "table de salon" si l'on n'a pas à identifier ce type de table particulier. Le cas échéant, il faudra trouver des spécifiques français comme "table basse" et même à la rigueur "table à café". 1, record 3, French, - table%20de%20salon
