How Young Is Standard Average European

Le terme europeen moyen standard a ete cree en 1939 par Whorf afin de souligner les differences radicales existant entre les langues nord americaines, en particulier le hopi, et les langues europeennes. Ce concept prend une nouvelle dimension avec les etudes typologiques realisees aujourd'hui dans le cadre du programme EUROTYP qui tente d'identifier une aire linguistique europeenne, a partir des traits structuraux qu'ont en commun les langues europeennes. Dans cet article, l'A. decrit 11 traits syntaxiques saillants qui sont partages par les principales langues europeennes et qui servent a distinguer l'europeen moyen standard des langues voisines n'appartenant pas a l'aire linguistique. Il examine ensuite les circonstances historiques qui les ont crees (contact de langues, emprunts, diffusion et conservation linguistique, etc.)
