Avec la tempête dévastatrice Sandy, nous venons de
découvrir un nouveau terme qui a été adapté à cette situation, Frankenstorm ,
ce mot est inspiré de deux mots qui sont franckenstein , le monstre de Mary
Shelly et Storm qui signifie tempête.
je vous invite alors d’une
part si vous étes des amoureux de la lecture de vous mettre à la lecture de
cette belle histoire de Mary Shelly et d’autre part, à lire ce billet:
Frankenstorm est un mot composé comme il a été expliqué auparavant et est maintenant considéré comme un mot officiel par l'organisation linguistique du Texas GLM.
La presse américaine a vite adapté ce mot pour décrire l'ampleur de la catastrophe de ce monstre qui est Sandy , je me suis posé la question si je devais traduire un article de presse avec ce terme nouveau vers l'arabe , que dois-je mettre comme équivalence ; surement j'aurais mis en exergue un mot tel que Tornade, cyclone, tempête,ouragon... mais il serait moins fidèle mon texte à l'image du monstre dévastateur comme il est décrit , alors le monstre الوحش en arabe dans notre culture arabe qui portera ce mot? , dans notre culture algérienne , nous avons Bouloulou pour faire peur aux petits enfants , mais en plus diabolique que doit-on mettre?
Je vous laisse le soin de me donner vos suppositions;

MANILA,
Philippines - "Frankenstorm," a noun describing hybrid Hurricane
Sandy, is now considered an official English language word, according to
Texas-based Global Language Monitor (GLM).
The word, a
portmanteau or combination of horror monster "Frankenstein" and
"storm" has met the English language criteria after the number of
citations for "Frankenstorm increased 1,000% in the past few days, GLM
said.
"Frankenstorm
crossed those threshold earlier today with tens of thousands of references in
the global media," GLM president and chief word analyst Paul JJ Payack
said.
His
organization, which analyzes and catalogs the latest trends in word usage, word
choices, and their impact on culture, said the word Frankenstorm is also at the
center of vigorous internet meme creation.
"It
appears the the Frankenstorm might cross-pollinate with any number of now
circulating Internet Memes on the pending Presidential Elections on November
6th," Global Language Monitor said.
However,
not all are embracing the coined word.
John
McIntyre, Baltimore Sun editor and night content production manager, said in
his column on language and journalism [12] that he ruled
against use of the word in the publication.
"Yesterday,
I sent this message to the newsroom staff: We will not be using the word
“Frankenstorm” in coverage of Hurricane Sandy, because the term trivializes a
serious and potentially deadly event. It’s acceptable in direct quotes, but
even there we shouldn’t overdo it," he said.
McIntyre
said Phil Blanchard of the Testy Copy Editors online forum earlier posted such
advice on Facebook. He said CNN has also adopted the same policy avoiding use
of "Frankenstorm."
"The
advisory to the staff was not a flat ban, as you see from the mention of
quotes, and Frankenstorm is a word that people are using, and using as an SEO
term to find information. We just don't want to belabor it," he explained.
"I
think that that was the right editorial decision, but I also understand the
impulse to come up with these ludicrous nicknames," he added.
"It is
the very threatening nature of the storm that moves people to come up with
nicknames, to stave off fear and apprehension by naming the source of the fear
and trying to trivialize it," McIntyre said.
