PAYS, BASTION AND FORTERESSE CATHOLIQUE? CONSTRUCTION OF THE MEANING OF THE PROPER NAME POLOGNE IN PRESS DISCOURSE This paper is part of a broader study on the social meaning sens social of the proper name Pologne Poland created in the media production. The analysis of press discourse makes it possible to observe the recurrence of the adjective catholique Catholic in the co-occurrences of this toponym. The aim of this paper is, firstly, to examine the syntactic entourage of the name Pologne in which the adjective catholique appears and, secondly, to analyse, on the paradigmatic axis, reformulations of the toponym Pologne where this adjective appears in the diaphoric network. This approach results in the description of the micro-field of the lexico-discursive profile of the name Pologne.
TOWARDS THE SOCIAL MEANING OF THE JIHAD PHENOMENON. THE CASE OF JIHADISTSThe aim of this article is to describe the elements of social meaning given by the French newspapers to the phenomenon of jihad. In this purpose, we adopt the methods of the school of discourse analysis. We study the discursive moment of press production about jihad which emerged after the real event of November 13, 2015. The analysis of this production in a defined time frame makes it possible to establish a list of reformulations of the headword djihadistes in French and to observe semantic values which are attributed to them in the discourse although they do not appear in their common lexical definitions.
About construction of meanings in the press discourse – the comparative approach, based on the example of Norway attacks in 2011The purpose of the article is to describe and analyse the meanings which the media construct in relation to real events ‘événement réel’ by the example of Anders Breivik’s attacks in Norway in 2011. The paper is a comparative analysis of the media productions in three countries – Poland, France and the United Kingdom. The authors use the French Linguistic Discourse Analysis FLAD methods to determine the keywords ‘mot vedette’ – the most common words or phrases naming the event – reconstruct referential paradigms ‘paradigme désignationnel’ – the lists of expressions that rephrase the keywords – and then deliberate their social meanings. The article textualizes similarities and differences of the social meanings of the event in different European countries and contemplates the collective memory of Europeans.
