  • Descrição: This paper focuses on a shared episode in the linguistic histories of Australia and of America. During the first half of the twentieth century, both nations were together making efforts to assert their linguistic identities as two major English-speaking communities in competition with Britain and the British norm of English. These efforts were notably personified by two stubborn defenders of linguistic identity in Australia and in America, namely Sidney John Baker and Henry Louis Mencken and two of his disciples David W. Maurer and Hugh Morrison. Our paper discusses the Australian and American contexts of such a parallel quest through a correspondence between these famous lexicologists. Cet article se propose d'analyser un épisode commun à l'histoire linguistique de l'Australie et des Etats-Unis d'Amérique. Dans la première moitié du vingtième siècle, les deux nations s'attachèrent à affirmer leurs identités linguistiques comme deux communautés anglophones en compétition avec la Grande-Bretagne et la norme linguistique britannique. Ces efforts furent portés notamment par deux défenseurs opiniâtres de l'identité linguistique de l'Australie et de l'Amérique, respectivement Sidney John Baker et Henry Louis Mencken et deux de ses disciples David W. Maurer et Hugh Morrison. Notre article porte sur les contextes australien et américain de cette quête parallèle et parfois commune, au travers de la correspondance entre ces deux célèbres lexicologues.
