Entre les termes «animateur», «conducteur» et «directeur», la différence essentielle repose sur l'aspect directif ou autoritaire du rôle qui va en progressant de l'animateur au directeur de discussion. L'appellation la plus moderne est certes «animateur». 2, record 4, French, - animateur%20de%20discussion
