Le concept de langue de bois sera étudié à travers un corpus composé de programmes électoraux publiés lors de l’élection générale britannique en 2010, dans lesquels des données polysémiotiques entrent en interaction pour construire le sens et les procédés rhétoriques. Cet article vise à montrer, d’une part, les limites d’une approche purement quantitative pour rendre compte des stratégies discursives de manipulation et, d’autre part, à trouver des points de convergence entre la rhétorique, la linguistique et la sémiotique de manière à rendre compte avec précision des phénomènes observés dans le corpus.
Abstract
The concept of Doublespeak will be envisaged through the study of a corpus composed of manifestos for the 2010 general election in the United Kingdom, in which occurrences belonging to different semiotic systems interact to construct meaning and set up rhetorical strategies. This article aims at showing the limitations of purely quantitative analyses to account for rhetorical devices of manipulation. It is also an attempt at bringing to light cross-connections between rhetorics, linguistics and semiotics so as to give an accurate account of the phenomena encountered in the corpus.
