Quand la terminologie revisite les archives pour la constitution d’un patrimoine (linguistique) vivant : vers une eco-terminologie
When Terminology Revisits Archives in Order to Establish a Living (Linguistic) Heritage: towards an Eco-terminology

Summary/Abstract: This study presents an innovative methodological approach to terminology through the archives of the Grande Saline of Salins-les-Bains (Jura, France). By combining terminological analysis, historical sociolinguistics, and eco-terminology, it highlights the value of organizational archives for understanding linguistic, cultural, and professional dynamics within a specialized milieu. The exploration of an original corpus of written and oral data reveals the diachronic construction of terms related to salt production and its socio-economic environment. Linking memory, heritage, and linguistic practice, the research examines how language contributes to the transmission of technical and cultural knowledge. It also outlines concrete perspectives for heritage and museum valorization through collaboration between institutions and researchers, situating terminology within a living, interdisciplinary, and context-sensitive framework.
