Une approche pragmatique de l’analyse Alceste

2005, Les Cahiers Internationaux de Psychologie Sociale

Abstract

Semantic approach is very often the only one used for the interpretation of the automatic discourse analysis results. In this article we are interested in one of these software, Alceste, often used by the researchers working in the field of social representations. We support that a pragmatic approach of communication and language is essential from theoretical and practical point of view. From an empirical illustration, we underline the possibility of advancing the indirect traces of communication in the vocabulary, thanks to the concept of temperature of information and, there even, we show how to obtain pragmatic indications beside semantic indications obtained by this software.
