This finding has significant implications for the study of cynophobia, since one would expect from the classical conditioning model of fear that a dog bite should have a lasting negative impact on a child's attitude toward dogs.

Ce résultat porte des conséquences significatives sur l’étude de la cynophobie, puisque, selon le modèle de conitionnement classique de la peur, on s’attendrait à ce qu’une morsure de chien devrait avoir un impact négatif durable sur le comportement d’un enfant vis-à-vis des chiens.

The hatred for women he acknowledged to Barras found expression in one of his few peevish letters to Josephine, in which he accused her of loving everyone more than her husband, including the dog Fortuné; in the latter assessment of the featherheaded Josephine's cynophilia he was certainly correct.

Sa haine pour les femmes, avoua-t-il à Barras, s’est manifestée dans l’une de ses lettres maussades qu’il a écrites à Joséphine, dans laquelle il lui reproche d’aimer les autres plus que son mari, y compris le chien Fortuné ; il avait probablement raison en ce qui concerne sa prétendue cynophilie.

Attesté depuis 1330. Du moyen anglais forewarnien, issu de l’anglo-saxon forewarnian (« avertir », « prévenir en avance »). Équivalent de fore- (« pré », « en avance ») et de warn (« prévenir », « avertir », « mettre en garde »). Cognat avec l’allemand vorwarnen et le suédois förvarna, de même sens.

to forewarn (infinitive)
forewarns (present third-person singular)
forewarned (preterite)
forewarned (participle past)
forewarning (participle present)

Beaucoup d’anglophones désapprouvent l’usage de ce terme, le trouvant redondant, du fait qu’avertir est une action qui s’effectue forcément en avance. Cependant, du fait de sa présence dans la langue anglaise depuis l’époque anglo-saxonne, ce mot peut être utilisé de manière légitime.
De plus, d’autres supputent que le préfixe fore- permet d’accentuer l’avance avec laquelle l’action est réalisée. Ainsi, le terme forewarn peut également sous-entendre que la prévision, du fait de son avance, est correcte, comme dans le verbe foretell.

to forewarn somebody of something — prévenir quelqu’un de quelque chose

“I came down like a wolf on the fold, didn’t I ?  Why didn’t I telephone ?  Strategy, my dear boy, strategy. This is a surprise attack, and I’d no wish that the garrison, forewarned, should escape. …”

Hypothétique cinquième éon de l’échelle des temps géologiques, suivant le Phanérozoïque, et qui s’étendrait à partir de nos jours.

The Anthropocene may be the beginning of another fundamental transition. This fifth eon could be defined by a radically new type of global change in which cognitive processes—the thoughts, deeds and creations of human beings—become a key part of the functioning of the planet. I propose to call this potential new eon the Sapiezoic, for “wise life”. For the first time in Earth’s history, a self-aware geologic force is shaping the planet.

What annoys me the most is that she had to katakanise "snobbish", "scoop" and "sustainable" (and "get", really??) I get that she travels a lot and speaks English (and probably a few others) but couldn't she just say it in Japanese, which is her native language and the reader's as well? It took me good two minutes to realise she meant snobbish. If she had to use English words that often to speak her own native language, why bother at all trying to write in Japanese.

Kappa, how-to-learn-any-language.com,1ᵉʳ mars 2012

Many Japanese learners of English when faced with difficult words tend to katakanise them (Martin, 2004). This happens because wordsborrowed from other languages or difficult words in the target language are treated according to the sound system of the receiving language.

Similarities in English words pronunciation errors between Japanophones and Bembaphones, sur International Journal of Advanced Multidisciplinary Research and Studies, 2022

That's mostly true of the 2E Complete Fighter as well. What's really weird, is that samurai, a Japanese word, is written in katakana, the 'alphabet' used in Japanese for foreign words. 😕 You might think they did it for consistency as the other kit/class names are in 'katakana English' but the Japanese weapons are written in kanji (Sino-Japanese ideographs used for Japanese words) while the western weapons are 'katakanised'. Go figure!
