44dimension‖ present in DiCoInfo is the fact that the syntactic behaviour of email 1 andemail 2 can provide clues to the correct use of their equivalents. The countable anduncountable distinction of email (email 1 ) vs an email (email 2 ) corresponds to uncourriel (courriel 1 ) and du courriel (courriel 2 ).Table 1.

For the moment, it is important toadd that in DiCoInfo the ―situational or discursive dimension‖ of terms is not explicitlydescribed. We believe this can be explained by the fact that the subject field ofcomputing and the Internet is taken to be a relatively culture-independent domain whoseterminology does not differ immensely from language to language in terms of―situational dimension‖. The same, however, cannot apply to culture-bound domainssuch as Law in which the discursive intricacy of terms can be of utmost importance (cf.sub-chapter 2.1). Here, indeed, the use of an entity entirely external to the entities of theequivalence relationship, as advocated by Piotrowski (1994), could be of great
