UN t\u00e9tradrachme, Ath\u00e8nes, 393-350 av. J.-C.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nJ’ai cherch\u00e9 un peu, et suis tomb\u00e9 sur l’explication suivante:
T\u00e9tradrachme: l\u2019Acad\u00e9mie Fran\u00e7aise donnait ce mot pour f\u00e9minin (\u00e9ditions de 1762, 1798 et 1832) puis masculin (\u00e9dition de 1932). Les arch\u00e9ologues en usent toujours au masculin, se conformant au mot grec qui est neutre.<\/em>
Ah? Ainsi donc un mot serait masculin en fran\u00e7ais, parce qu’il est neutre en grec? Oui, me dit un autre correspondant, dans la mesure o\u00f9 le neutre est grammaticalement plus proche du masculin dans la structure de la langue grecque.
Voici donc un neutre qui ne l\u2019est pas vraiment, quitte \u00e0 heurter les f\u00e9ministes!
Une troisi\u00e8me voix intervient alors: \u00ab\u00a0Le mot Epigramme n’est-il pas f\u00e9minin alors que neutre en latin, et sans doute en grec \u00e9galement?<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0
Et l\u00e0, je trouve sur un vieux Larousse du XXe si\u00e8cle (\u00e9dition de 1930) qu’\u00e9pigramme a \u00e9t\u00e9 masculin jusqu’au milieu du XVIIe si\u00e8cle… Le mot est aujourd’hui effectivement f\u00e9minin, sauf s\u2019il s\u2019agit d\u2019un \u00e9pigramme d\u2019agneau, un morceau de viande plac\u00e9 en haut des c\u00f4tes.
Si les mots fran\u00e7ais changent tout le temps de genre, comment s’y retrouver ? En tous cas, merci \u00e0 tous de vos remarques !<\/p>\n\n\n\nRen\u00e9 Kauffmann<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
