Bonjour
Je vous envoie une copie d'un email envoye ce jour a Lantra a quelqu'un qui
se posait la meme question que vous.
<< Here's a brief summary of the categories used by the Editors' Assn. of
Canada:
- Production editing: overseeing the entire production process from start to
finish. Involves budgeting; negotiating with authors; dealing with content;
hiring and managing editors, designers, printers, etc.; determining optimum
printing formats,dealing with printers, etc.
- Structural & stylistic editing: involves major changes to organization,
content and structure
- Copy editing: Fact checking, tightening language, checking grammar,
punctuation and style, ensuring uniformity of references, etc.
- Proofreading: Finding and marking typographical errors (on proofs) using
standard proofreading symbols.
- Revision (or concordance): Comparing different-language versions of the same
text and ensuring uniformity, correctness, etc.
I'm sure you can find more detailed information on the EAC Web site, if you're
