Talk:procès d'intention

How could we translate this?

@Languageseeker: You've added a (philosophy) label. That gives the impression that this expression is found in philosophical discourse only, but that's not true; it's also used in everyday language. PUC – 21:11, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

@PUC: In this case, I would split the two senses. I think the philosophy sense is the original one and the everyday usage would be a by extension case. Languageseeker (talk) 00:19, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

@Languageseeker: I agree. I just don't know how I'd word the everyday sense; as you can see from the thread I've linked to above, it's not a straightforward task. PUC – 09:36, 7 February 2021 (UTC)'

@PUC: Looking more into it, I think the definition should remain with the philosophy label. According to the TLFI and Académie, the figurative case seems to be confined to the expression faire un procès d'intention à quelqu'un, what do you think of the English expression "to twist someone's words"? Since the figurative case is confined to a specific expression, should we create a separate entry for it? Languageseeker (talk) 13:09, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
