Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'usage du mot «bow-window» a été interdit [en France] : depuis 1973, on doit le remplacer, dans tous les documents officiels ou pédagogiques, par celui d'«oriel». 7, record 1, French, - bow%2Dwindow
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le terme «oriel» proposé comme traduction de «bow window» et de «bay window» par la Commission de terminologie du ministère de l'Aménagement (France) et repéré dans le dictionnaire des néologismes officiels (DNEOL 1984, page 471) et dans le grand dictionnaire Robert 1985 semble abusif et correspond plutôt à l'anglais «oriel window» se traduisant lui par «oriel» ou «fenêtre en encorbellement». 8, record 1, French, - bow%2Dwindow
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
Pour éviter l'anglicisme malgré un certain usage, éviter la confusion avec «oriel» ainsi que par économie verbale, il semble que les termes «fenêtre en saillie arrondie» et «fenêtre en saillie courbe» soient à privilégier. 8, record 1, French, - bow%2Dwindow
