fantomisation; spectrification : Les formes verbales correspondantes sont «se fantomiser» et «se spectrifier»(verbes pronominaux). En effet, bien que les verbes «fantomiser» et «spectrifier» soient parfois employés, sous l'influence de l'anglais, en tant que verbes transitifs directs, ils devraient être employés de façon pronominale pour traduire «to ghost», car c'est la personne qui rompt de cette façon qui devient le «fantôme» ou le «spectre». Dans leur sens littéral, ces verbes signifient «transformer en fantôme ou en spectre». 2, record 1, French, - fantomisation
