La linguistique et les mathématiques sont deux disciplines souvent et injustement opposées alors qu’elles sont en dialogue permanent, car la langue est la spécificité de la science dure, dans le sens de la précision cognitive, de l’élaboration applicative et de la communication interprétative. En particulier, la définition constructive et fonctionnelle du langage mathématique est le reflet d’un système hypothético-déductif, dont les concepts formels dépendent strictement de la logique, car ils doivent respecter un certain nombre de lois internes. Le livre s’ouvre sur la présentation des caractéristiques linguistiques générales d’un texte mathématique pour aborder, dans un deuxième temps, la production de Diderot dans ce secteur de spécialité à partir de ses Mémoires sur différens sujets de mathématiques de 1748, recueil savant à l’intention didactico-empirique. Vient ensuite une comparaison des travaux de Diderot et de D’Alembert à propos de l’acoustique. Le volume se clôt sur la lecture analytique des écrits de Diderot consacrés aux probabilités. Autant de sujets scientifiques bien connus des experts qui traversent le siècle des Lumières, mais dont l’étude linguistique, rarement envisagée jusqu’ici, ne manque pas de révéler la profonde actualité. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… Linguistics and mathematics are two disciplines that are often and unfairly opposed, while they are in constant dialogue, because language is the specificity of hard science, in the sense of cognitive precision, application development and interpretive communication. In particular, the constructive and functional definition of mathematical language is the reflection of a hypothetico-deductive system, whose formal concepts depend strictly on logic, since they must respect a certain number of internal laws. The book opens with the presentation of the general linguistic characteristics of a mathematical text to approach, in a second step, the production of Diderot in this area of specialty from his "Memoirs" on different subjects of mathematics of 1748, scholarly collection to didactico-empirical intention. Next comes a comparison of the work of Diderot and D’Alembert on acoustics. The volume ends with an analytical reading of Diderot's writings devoted to probability. So many scientific subjects well known to experts who lived through the Enlightenment, but whose linguistic study, rarely considered until now, does not fail to reveal the profound topicality.]
