| Summary: | International audience Languages possess severa! means of expanding their lexicons, the most important of which are derivation, compounding and borrowing. However, the vitality of the lexicon can also be assessed in terms of the new uses which words may take on. This paper highlights the creative capabilities of Newfoundland French in this area by providing numerous instances of extensions in use observed in everyday French, special purpose French (naval vocabulary), as weil as in French words that are now regional. A relationship is hence established between Newfoundland French and Acadian lects, particularly those of Nova Scotia. La langue dispose de plusieurs moyens lui permettant de régénérer le lexique : essentiellement, la dérivation, la composition et l'emprunt. Mais la vitalité du lexique s'apprécie aussi aux valeurs nouvelles que peuvent prendre les mots. Cet article montre la créativité du franco-terre-neuvien dans ce domaine. Il fournit de nombreux exemples d'extensions d'emplois, que ce soit à partir du français général, du vocabulaire spécifique de la marine ou des mots déjà régionaux en français. Ces observations permettent d'établir une parenté du franco-terre-neuvien avec les parlers acadiens notamment de Nouvelle-Écosse. |
