Dear colleagues,

Last week I asked the following question (Vol. 13.2058):

>Could anyone help me with the French translation of the terms
>"optimality theory" and "back formation"?

I received four responses for the first, two for the second term.
They all agree that the following are the French translations:

optimality theory: théorie de l'optimalité

backformation: rétroformation

I would like to thank Bert Peeters, Jean-Charles Khalifa, Martin
Forst, Rémy Viredaz and <pkcyber at intnet.bj> for their answers.

Best wishes,
Pius ten Hacken
