QUAND LA TERMINOLOGIE REVISITE LES ARCHIVES POUR LA CONSTITUTION D’UN PATRIMOINE (LINGUISTIQUE) VIVANT : VERS UNE ECO-TERMINOLOGIE

Abstract

This study presents an innovative methodological approach to terminology through
the archives of the Grande Saline of Salins-les-Bains (Jura, France). By combining
terminological analysis, historical sociolinguistics, and eco-terminology, it highlights the
value of organizational archives for understanding linguistic, cultural, and professional
dynamics within a specialized milieu. The exploration of an original corpus of written and
oral data reveals the diachronic construction of terms related to salt production and its socio
economic environment. Linking memory, heritage, and linguistic practice, the research
examines how language contributes to the transmission of technical and cultural knowledge.
It also outlines concrete perspectives for heritage and museum valorization through
collaboration between institutions and researchers, situating terminology within a living,
interdisciplinary, and context-sensitive framework.
