Plut\u00f4t que de dire \u00ab\u2009une tendance que l\u2019on observe dans d\u2019autres \u00e9tudes\u2009\u00bb, on mettra plus volontiers \u00ab\u2009une tendance observ\u00e9e dans d\u2019autres \u00e9tudes\u2009\u00bb.
Au lieu d\u2019\u00e9crire \u00ab\u2009vous pourriez \u00e9prouver des sentiments d\u2019intense col\u00e8re\u2009\u00bb, on favorisera \u00ab\u2009il se peut que vous \u00e9prouviez une intense col\u00e8re\u2009\u00bb.
Enfin, \u00ab\u2009au cours de ces extraordinaires aventures, le requin deviendra son meilleur ami ou son pire ennemi\u2009\u00bb deviendra de pr\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00ab\u2009au cours de cette fabuleuse qu\u00eate, le requin sera-t-il un formidable alli\u00e9 ou un redoutable pr\u00e9dateur\u2009?\u2009\u00bb.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pourquoi\u2009? Euh\u2026 parce que \u00e7a sonne mieux\u2009?!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

C\u2019est \u00e0 la suite de ce genre de situations \u00e0 r\u00e9p\u00e9tition que M\u00e9lodie Benoit-Lamarre, traductrice agr\u00e9\u00e9e et cofondatrice du petit cabinet Traductions Herm\u00e8s au Qu\u00e9bec, en est arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 lister \u00ab\u20097 lois du style\u2009\u00bb permettant d\u2019expliquer et de justifier pourquoi les r\u00e9visions apport\u00e9es am\u00e9liorent le texte. Elle les expose, avec moult exemples, dans sa formation Magistrad \u00ab\u2009Dans la jungle du style : 7 lois qui expliquent pourquoi \u201c\u00e7a sonne mieux\u201d\u2009\u00bb illustr\u00e9e par de tr\u00e8s jolies diapositives.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Le cours commence par une d\u00e9finition de ce qu\u2019on entend par \u00ab\u2009style\u2009\u00bb, puis M\u00e9lodie d\u00e9roule une \u00e0 une les sept lois, accompagn\u00e9es de ce qu\u2019elle appelle leur \u00ab\u2009contrepoint\u2009\u00bb (qui cr\u00e9e un effet oppos\u00e9 \u00e0 celui de la loi expos\u00e9e). Ainsi, \u00e0 la premi\u00e8re loi de \u00ab\u2009l\u00e9g\u00e8ret\u00e9\u2009\u00bb, par laquelle on s\u2019\u00e9vertue, comme son nom l\u2019indique, \u00e0 all\u00e9ger le texte, s\u2019oppose le contrepoint d\u2019\u00ab\u2009articulation\u2009\u00bb, qui ancre le texte, par exemple par l\u2019introduction de mots-charni\u00e8res pour mieux articuler l\u2019id\u00e9e ou le concept. \u00c0 ce sujet, M\u00e9lodie nous a orient\u00e9s vers la tr\u00e8s utile\u00a0banque de mots-charni\u00e8res de l\u2019Office qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois de la langue fran\u00e7aise<\/a>. [Ceci n\u2019\u00e9tant qu\u2019un \u00e9l\u00e9ment parmi plusieurs autres recommand\u00e9s pour l\u2019articulation.]<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dans chaque cas, M\u00e9lodie pr\u00e9sente de nombreux exemples, illustr\u00e9s de fa\u00e7on tr\u00e8s visuelle en proposant d\u2019abord la phrase initiale, puis la m\u00eame phrase apr\u00e8s application des modifications effectu\u00e9es en rouge et en soulign\u00e9, \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re de la fonction \u00ab\u2009suivi des modifications\u2009\u00bb de Microsoft Word.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Enfin, chaque chapitre\/loi se conclut avec un exercice qui sera le fil d\u2019Ariane de tout le cours : l\u2019am\u00e9lioration d\u2019un texte traduit par DeepL, auquel on applique successivement les 7 lois. En fin de compte, nous obtenons une r\u00e9daction beaucoup plus lisible et \u00ab\u2009vendeuse\u2009\u00bb, avec pourtant un taux de foisonnement n\u00e9gatif par rapport \u00e0 la version anglaise\u2009!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cet exercice, expliqu\u00e9 et comment\u00e9 par M\u00e9lodie au fil de son expos\u00e9, nous est ensuite remis dans un document montrant clairement les diff\u00e9rentes \u00e9tapes de correction puis les deux versions c\u00f4te \u00e0 c\u00f4te, DeepL et le texte final r\u00e9vis\u00e9.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

La pr\u00e9sentation est \u00e9galement enrichie par de nombreuses citations, parmi lesquelles j\u2019affectionne particuli\u00e8rement celles-ci :
– \u00ab\u2009La grammaire est la science de ce que l\u2019\u00e9crivain ne peut pas faire, la stylistique, de ce qu\u2019il peut faire.\u2009\u00bb (Pierre Guiraud, La Stylistique)
– \u00ab\u2009Le style est la mani\u00e8re propre \u00e0 chacun d\u2019exprimer sa pens\u00e9e par l\u2019\u00e9criture ou la parole.\u2009\u00bb (Antoine Albalat, L\u2019art d\u2019\u00e9crire)
– \u00ab\u2009Le style doit \u00eatre comme un vernis transparent : il ne doit pas alt\u00e9rer les couleurs, ou les faits et pens\u00e9es sur lesquels il est plac\u00e9.\u2009\u00bb (Stendhal, M\u00e9langes de litt\u00e9rature)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Par ailleurs, M\u00e9lodie nous a recommand\u00e9 diverses lectures sur le th\u00e8me du style, dont on peut voir une s\u00e9lection sur la photo ci-dessous.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

L\u2019exercice se poursuit ult\u00e9rieurement \u00e0 la maison, avec la possibilit\u00e9 de reporter, dans un questionnaire cr\u00e9\u00e9 par la formatrice, nos occasions d\u2019appliquer les sept lois dans nos projets de traduction en cours. Exemples que M\u00e9lodie rassemble ensuite et commente sous forme de flashcards consultables sur la plateforme proprofs.com.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Vous l\u2019aurez compris, je recommande vivement cette excellente formation Magistrad \u00e0 tous mes coll\u00e8gues prenant la plume en fran\u00e7ais\u2009!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
