La gourmandise et autres « transgressions minuscules ». Le péché dans le vocabulaire culinaire de Philippe Delerm
Gourmandise and other “minor transgressions”. Sin in Philippe Delerm’s culinary vocabulary

Summary/Abstract: Philippe Delerm’s prose extols the joy that comes from contemplating everyday life. Experienced intensely, it is a source of pleasure and happiness. The pleasures of food are a theme particularly exploited in this writer’s novels. The approach taken in this article is onomasiological in nature. Its aim is to analyse the lexical units that fall within the conceptual field of the term sin, while referring to different types of food and the sensations associated with its consumption. The occurrences have been systematized according to the list of the seven deadly sins established by Evagrius Ponticus.
