@Lambie A newspaper's opinion and a comment expanding on what would constitute at this point an anglicism don't supersede the Dictionnaire historique de la langue française or other established lexicographic sources. It is initially a calque. Just as you are not bound to my criteria, we are not bound by your seal of approval and inaccurate statements.reSHARPen51-4– reSHARPen51-42025-08-17 16:49:47 +00:00Commented Aug 17, 2025 at 16:49

@Lambie Today it is. Negocier un virage was a calque, 100 years ago; it is fully substantiated. Therefore your statement that it is not is inaccurate, this is not a personal remark, it is fact. See community wiki, which settles it. The JdM echoes the sentiment it is no longer perceived as such, nothing more and expands on another anglicism, using courbe for curve.reSHARPen51-4– reSHARPen51-42025-08-17 17:12:04 +00:00Commented Aug 17, 2025 at 17:12

1@Lambie Suit yourself. This negocier in négocier un virage comes from English. The DHLF, Vitrine and the TLFi all concur. The rest is irrelevant FUD. Thank you.reSHARPen51-4– reSHARPen51-42025-08-17 17:58:57 +00:00Commented Aug 17, 2025 at 17:58

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. choix-de-mot), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
