In a journalistic text about a demographic survey, I have the following:
une approche sociologique ou sociologisante
Can anyone explain the word 'sociologisante'? I have been unable to find it in any dictionaries or glossaries. How does it differ from 'sociologique'?
From context, I suspect it may be slightly derogatory.
Thanks
