摘要：
This paper investigates the argumentative stakes attached to the definition of the word "marriage" during the discussion of the draft law opening marriage to same-sex couples in French Parliament in 2013. We first examine the conditions for defining activity to emerge in this context. We put to the fore the existence of a tension between the normative dimension of definition and its descriptive dimension. Then we analyse the forms taken by the conflict of definitions. At last, we focuse on the moments when deputies adopt a reflexive attitude to question the relationship between language and reality: is the disagreement on opening marriage to same-sex couples due to a mere war of words, which could be easily settled, or is there an intimate connection between the definition attached to a word and the way one perceives the surrounding word and acts upon it?
