ENDOGÉNISATION DE LA FÉMINISATION DES NOMS DE METIERS
ENDOGENIZATION OF JOB NAMES FEMINIZATION

Summary/Abstract: The present contribution studies the new forms of feminine nouns related to job that are not commonly accepted and express some kind of linguistic and gender emancipation. It is important to question the use of these nouns both in the sense of language appropriation and its consequences. The aim is to demonstrate, in adiachronic point of view, the static and dynamic configurations on these nouns. The dynamic configurations present diverse contextual and individual uses. This analysis on new forms of feminine nouns related to job is inspired from(Lehmann and Berthet: 2014) lexicology reading. This approach considers languages according to the psychologic abilities of speakers and to the lexico-contextual variations. Then the feminization of nouns is a mechanism that participate to the enrichment of the language and to the valorization of the female gender. It is a revendication medium which aims to promote gender equity in any social domains, notably in the professional sector. As we noted, some feminized nouns are not commonly accepted, and the feminization phenomenon is yet to be a personal affair, in the sense that it is trivial. This makes it very complex because the feminization of nouns related to job depends on exogenic and endogenic factors. Then it becomes important to harmonize the used of these nouns in a specialized dictionary, considering that they valorized woman’s identity.
