1 hr confidence:
lend (concrete) support Explanation: I think whether or not to include "concrete" depends upon how strong you need the "faire corps" bit to be and that depends upon knowledge of more of your text. However, I get the impression that it is about the words becoming almost a physical aspect of (and changing the reality of) the subject they are expressing. |

5 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2become one Explanation: faire corps often has the sense of "unite" (in this case words and experiences?) - it is not quite clear to me the point the whole sentence is making, more of the sentence or paragraph might be helpful. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2010-03-13 20:42:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I've found the original sentence in Chantal Dupas (see other threads), and would now suggest either this or "come together"; the words come together in the sentence in the same way as things "se réunissent" from the starting point of the body, etc. (Merleau-Ponty). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2010-03-18 19:53:14 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thank you, hope it was helpful. |
