je préfère ma solution déjà mentionnée, toutefois on pourrait aussi penser à "lourd de sens"pour "loaded"

just a question...
Je pense qu'à part les traductions déjà fournies, loaded language peut être aussi "langage engagé". Aussi, il peut s'agir de "discours à message subliminal". Vous pouvez donner plus de contexte ?

Car "lourd de sens" (magnifique construction) respecte un certain registre stylistique et est plutot poetique. Pour un texte pedagogique, il est un peu vague. Ce n'est pas une expression des linguistes, mais des ecrivains et des poetes.

: désolée but "loaded language" en anglais n'a pas ce sens-là - cela veut dire qu'on choisit des mots exprès pour influencer le lecteur/auditeur. Lourd de sens = joli mais pas ça

Discussion
This is at least impolite. The translation was perfect. I don't know if it suited you or not, but this is not important here. Someone helps you and you answer "thanks, but you're not smart enough ?"
