"Un habit à la française". La métaphore vestimentaire dans les paratextes de traductions

Abstract

This articles examines the metadiscourse of translators, from the Renaissance to the present day, in order to measure the degree of vigor of the sartorial metaphors that appear there and to uncover their socio-poetic and intercultural stakes. Indeed, at first a simple lexical substitute for traduction / translation, the metaphor is enriched over time by ethical and aesthetic nuances.
