%X Au cours du dernier si¨¨cle, et plus singuli¨¨rement encore au cours des cinquante derni¨¨res ann¨¦es, la famille a connu des transformations majeures. Le champ de la famille a alors vu appara tre une multitude de termes traduisant l¡¯¨¦mergence de ces r¨¦alit¨¦s nouvelles, mais aussi, et peut-¨ºtre surtout, leur progressive reconnaissance sociale, ou ¨¤ tout le moins, la mise ¨¤ l¡¯agenda des questions soulev¨¦es par celles-ci. Dans cet article, ¨¤ partir de deux paires de concepts ¨¦mergents (couple parental et couple conjugal d¡¯une part, pluriparent¨¦ et pluriparentalit¨¦ d¡¯autre part), nous proposons quelques r¨¦flexions sur les potentialit¨¦s et les limites des cat¨¦gories d¡¯intelligibilit¨¦ produites et diffus¨¦es par les chercheurs en sciences sociales. In the course of the last century, and still more singularly in the last fifty years, the family has undergone major transformations. The domain of the family has thus seen the appearance of a multitude of terms revealing the emergence of these new realities, but also and perhaps especially, their progressive social recognition or, at the very least, the questions they raise being placed on the social agenda. In this article, starting from two pairs of emerging concepts (parental couple and conjugal couple on the one hand, and multi-parentage and multi-parentality on the other), we propose some reflections on the potentialities and limits of the categories of intelligibility produced and popularized by researchers in the social sciences.
