What Do Some Collocatives Have in Common with the Environment or How to Interpret the New Preferred Terms of Ecological Discourse?

Summary/Abstract: Currently, lexical creations from the ecological domain are invading the press. What are the circumstances? Are there new lexical patterns? We have noticed that the collocations formed by noun + green adjective are anchored, then those formed with clean or responsible appeared, however, are these patterns fixed? We will propose in this article some lexical creations that we call collocations—and we will explain why; then, to appreciate their meanings in and by the media (Moirand 2007 : 4), we will see the semantic features, whether transparent or not, that emerge from the contexts studied.
