La signalétique : de l’appartenance catégorielle à l’appartenance sociale La valeur linguistique des dénominations monoréférentielles de tiers-lieux collaboratifs

The case of monoreferential names of collaborative cultural spaces (“third places”, neither work nor home) is used to show how linguistic intuition plays a role in working out what has been called “signage” (signalétique). The hypothesis is that a lexical innovation will be adopted or not according to the linguistic value attributed by a given social group.
