| | cadre conceptuel | Explanation:
Je travaille dans la paire inverse, mais je traduis beaucoup de textes de ce genre et je pense que vous pouvez ici vous permettre de parler du "cadre conceptuel".
J'utilise parfois "underpinning" pour traduire "sous-tendre" ("sous-tendu", des machins qui "sous-tendent", etc.), mais je ne vois pas ici comment vous pourrez incorporer ce dernier.
Bon courage,
Jocelyne |
