Art/Literary - Linguistics | | English term or phrase: standard linguistic authority | Bonjour,
S.V.P, Je voudrais avoir vos suggestions quant à la traduction de standard linguistic authority dans le contexte suivant:
We don’t have a standard linguistic authority to Frenchify newly introduced terms, or to decide which expression is right and which is wrong.
Merci |

| | French translation:autorité linguistique (reconnue) | Explanation:
linguistic authority = autorité linguistique, tout simplement.
On peut laisser tomber "standard", ou alors le remplacer par "reconnue/établie" ou "institutionnelle" selon le contexte.
- "Parmi les mots retenus à la nomenclature, il y en a un certain nombre qui ont fait l'objet d'une recommandation officielle (ou du moins d'une proposition) de la part de l'Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF), ou d'une autre autorité linguistique francophone." http://franqus.usherbrooke.ca/systeme_marquesIII_normetat.ph...
