//Jurilinguistique: entre langues et driots// = //Between law and language// (2005) - **the law of Obligations plays a special role within the civilian ‘common law’ that justifies the preparation of a free-standing dictionary** (apart from vocabulary/dictionary of private law generally) - not an autonomous topic but obligations seen as playing a special role within the general law///droit commun// - much of the terminology of obs has wider ambitions as part of common law of QC - some terms are important signs for braoder themes in private law - obligations as the “centre du driot”: vocab of law of Obs can be seen as having rich pedagogical value - terms from Obs that have ambitions for structuring or regulating broad areas of private law ex. “juridical act”; “obligation” mobilizes one of law’s great metaphors (//lien de droit//) - lexicographers may have challenges discerning the 4 corners of the common law of the common law (fencing law of Obligations as against other sectors of the general law – dispute over boundaries)
