Summary/Abstract: In this article, we intend to follow the spread and circulation of the fake news loan in French, Polish and Czech. We will analyze in particular the way in which this lexical unit is assimilated by these three languages, from a phonetic, graphic, morphological and semantic point of view and we will be interested in examining the possible equivalents proposed, either spontaneously by the speakers, or by official French sources.
