Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Employer «appartement» au sens de «pièce» est un archaïsme : [en français moderne,] un appartement comprend nécessairement plusieurs pièces. C'est par une sorte de fiction administrative qu'il existe, cependant, des appartements dits d'une seule pièce. Cette convention se justifie par le fait qu'un appartement dit d'une pièce, contrairement à une simple chambre, offre les éléments de deux autres pièces qu'on ne compte pas : la cuisine et la salle de bains. Se garder [enfin] de commettre l'anglicisme orthographique «apartement», avec un seul p. 7, record 1, French, - appartement
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
Noter qu'en général on n'accède pas à un appartement directement de la rue; on y accède plutôt en passant par des espaces collectifs : même entrée principale, même ascenseur ou escalier, couloir, etc. 8, record 1, French, - appartement
