dinterprétation

D'interprétation is a French noun phrase formed by the preposition de followed by the feminine noun interprétation. In standard spelling the elision is written as d'interprétation. The expression does not refer to a single fixed concept; rather it denotes matters related to interpretation, such as the act, method, or scope of interpreting something.

The phrase is widely used across disciplines to qualify interpretative aspects. In law, it appears in expressions like règles d'interprétation des textes juridiques (rules of interpretation of legal texts) or principes d'interprétation des clauses contractuelles. In philosophy and hermeneutics, it can refer to approaches or problems of interpretation, for example un problème d'interprétation philosophique. In linguistics, it may describe interpretive analyses of language data, while in the sciences and humanities it can introduce guidelines for how results should be understood or explained, such as un guide d'interprétation des résultats expérimentaux.

Usage notes: d'interprétation commonly forms part of compound nouns and adjective phrases rather than standing alone. Its precise meaning depends on the head noun it modifies and the disciplinary context. The term reflects the central role of interpretation in scholarly work, analysis, and textual study.
