Lexique as a reflection of social representations: its variations according to the body considered ; Le Lexique comme reflet des représentations sociales : ses variations selon le corpus considéré

Abstract

The distributional analysis of the words in the dwelling area, such as apartment, house, studio, shows that they have different connotations in speeches: they reflect the sometimes surprising way in which society represents their reference, but this representation is likely to vary depending on the speech. The value of a lexem can therefore be taken into account only after an analysis of a body of various genders has been carried out. ; International audience ; The distributional analysis of the words in the dwelling area, such as apartment, house, studio, shows that they have different connotations in speeches: they reflect the sometimes surprising way in which society represents their reference, but this representation is likely to vary depending on the speech.

La valeur d'un lexème ne peut donc être saisie qu'au terme de l'analyse de corpus de genres divers.
