Les traductrices et traducteurs sont tr\u00e8s forts en grammaire. Sauf que, sauf que\u2026 la langue fran\u00e7aise \u00e9crite est un d\u00e9dale dans lequel au d\u00e9tour d\u2019une r\u00e8gle de grammaire on tr\u00e9buche sur une exception, et o\u00f9 abondent les contradictions : prescriptions et usage, id\u00e9es re\u00e7ues et r\u00e9alit\u00e9 linguistique, emploi g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et cas particuliers. On a beau avoir fait ses exercices du Bled en 5e, lire Proust et le Monde diplomatique, mettre le nez une fois par an dans le Grevisse, v\u00e9rifier le genre du mot anagramme et l\u2019orthographe de mont-blanc (le dessert, pas la montagne), il faut bien avouer que les r\u00e8gles complexes nous d\u00e9routent parfois. Et puis, notre m\u00e9moire flanche aussi, recouvrant parfois d\u2019une \u00e9paisse brume les savoirs que l\u2019on croyait fermement ancr\u00e9s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Voil\u00e0 pourquoi il est bon de temps en temps de retourner sur les bancs virtuels de l\u2019\u00e9cole et de r\u00e9viser ses accords et ses r\u00e8gles typographiques. Et pour venir \u00e0 notre rescousse, qui de mieux plac\u00e9 qu\u2019Agathe Bozon, r\u00e9dactrice professionnelle et formatrice en communication \u00e9crite\u2009? Son atelier tr\u00e8s interactif du 1er octobre comportait quatre volets : les r\u00e8gles d\u2019accord des participes pass\u00e9s complexes, les erreurs d\u2019usage courantes, le code typographique et les outils en ligne d\u2019aide \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9criture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Le premier exercice sur les verbes pronominaux fait un peu l\u2019effet d\u2019un \u00e9lectrochoc. Doit-on \u00e9crire \u00ab\u2009Combien d\u2019histoires s\u2019est-il racont\u00e9\u2009?\u2009\u00bb ou \u00ab\u2009Combien d\u2019histoires s\u2019est-il racont\u00e9es\u2009?\u2009\u00bb \u00ab\u2009Les rois se sont succ\u00e9d\u00e9\u2009\u00bb ou \u00ab\u2009Les rois se sont succ\u00e9d\u00e9s\u2009\u00bb\u2009? Agathe nous rappelle \u00e0 cette occasion que l\u2019ordre des mots est important : et que les verbes pronominaux essentiellement r\u00e9fl\u00e9chis s\u2019accordent avec le sujet (\u00ab\u2009Ces images dont elle s\u2019est souvenue\u2009\u00bb : accord avec \u00ab\u2009elle\u2009\u00bb). L\u2019affaire se corse avec le second exercice, sur les participes pass\u00e9s suivis de l\u2019infinitif. Ainsi, on \u00e9crira \u00ab\u2009Les enfants que j\u2019ai entendus chanter\u2009\u00bb, mais \u00ab\u2009La chanson que j\u2019ai entendu chanter\u2009\u00bb. Le participe pass\u00e9 de \u00ab\u2009faire\u2009\u00bb directement suivi d\u2019un infinitif (\u00ab\u2009la tarte que j\u2019ai fait cuire\u2009\u00bb) est quant \u00e0 lui toujours invariable. Eh oui\u2009! On n\u2019\u00e9crit pas \u00ab\u2009Les \u00e9tudiants que j\u2019ai faits inscrire\u2009\u00bb, mais \u00ab\u2009les \u00e9tudiants que j\u2019ai fait inscrire\u2009\u00bb. Pour clore ce premier volet, un test portant sur d\u2019autres pi\u00e8ges d\u2019accord des participes pass\u00e9s : quand on doit accorder \u00ab\u2009ci-joint\u2009\u00bb avec son COD\u2009? Les constructions impersonnelles ob\u00e9issent-elles \u00e0 la r\u00e8gle d\u2019accord du participe avec le COD\u2009? (R\u00e9ponse : non.) Et des n\u00e8fles, vous en avez mang\u00e9 ou mang\u00e9es beaucoup\u2009?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nous embrayons au pas de charge sur les erreurs courantes, par exemple la confusion entre \u00ab\u2009avoir affaire \u00e0\u2009\u00bb et \u00ab\u2009avoir \u00e0 faire\u2009\u00bb. Apr\u00e8s cette remise \u00e0 l\u2019heure des pendules, nous saurons choisir entre \u00ab\u2009nous sommes convenus de\u2009\u00bb et \u00ab\u2009nous avons convenu de\u2009\u00bb, et nous pr\u00e9f\u00e9rerons l\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9gant \u00ab\u2009\u00e0 la suite de\u2009\u00bb \u00e0 \u00ab\u2009suite \u00e0\u2009\u00bb qui fait franchement rapport de commissariat de quartier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Avant-dernier volet de cet atelier, un exercice portant sur le code typographique est l\u2019occasion de nous tester sur l\u2019emploi de la majuscule, des acronymes, sigles et abr\u00e9viations. Si en r\u00e8gle g\u00e9n\u00e9rale le fran\u00e7ais a recours \u00e0 la majuscule beaucoup moins que l\u2019anglais, les prescriptions d\u00e9taill\u00e9es de l\u2019imprimerie nationale sont l\u00e9g\u00e8rement alambiqu\u00e9es. Ainsi \u00e9crit-on \u00ab\u2009le mont Blanc\u2009\u00bb, mais \u00ab\u2009le tunnel du Mont-Blanc\u2009\u00bb, \u00ab\u2009l\u2019appel du 18 juin 1940\u2009\u00bb, mais \u00ab\u2009l\u2019appel du 18 Juin\u2009\u00bb. Le dernier exercice, un QCM sur les abr\u00e9viations, nous rappelle, entre autres, comment abr\u00e9ger correctement nombres ordinaux et titres de civilit\u00e9. Par exemple, on distinguera Mme (madame) de Me (ma\u00eetre), et nous apprenons gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 Agathe Bozon que \u00ab\u2009Leurs Altesses S\u00e9r\u00e9nissimes\u2009\u00bb doit s\u2019abr\u00e9ger en \u00ab\u2009LL.AA.SS.\u2009\u00bb Nous ne serons pas pris au d\u00e9pourvu lorsqu\u2019il nous faudra r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 l\u2019invitation de la duchesse de Brabant…<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pour clore ce stimulant atelier, Agathe nous livre une bibliographie d\u2019outils en ligne d\u2019aide \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9criture, des sites de r\u00e9f\u00e9rence bien connus (Dictionnaire de l\u2019Acad\u00e9mie fran\u00e7aise) \u00e0 d\u2019autres \u00e0 ajouter \u00e0 son propre arsenal (FranceTerme, Crisco\u2026)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ainsi se conclut cet atelier qui nous aura \u00e9t\u00e9 bien utile. Pour preuve, on mentionne d\u00e9j\u00e0 Agathe Bozon sur le r\u00e9seau fran\u00e7ais de l\u2019ITI. Et d\u00e9sormais, lorsque votre client britannique vous reprochera sur un ton l\u00e9g\u00e8rement froiss\u00e9 d\u2019avoir mis une minuscule au pr\u00e9sident-directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de sa bo\u00eete, vous pourrez lui rabattre le caquet en lui apprenant que m\u00eame le pr\u00e9sident de la R\u00e9publique n\u2019a pas droit \u00e0 la majuscule\u2009!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
