L'expression des sentiments dans le discours numérique. Analyses énonciatives et de la subjectivité (Le cas de commentaires sur un post Facebook)

Abstract

This memo titled “The expression of feelings in digital discourse. Enunciative and subjectivity analyses (The case of comments on a Facebook post)..” aims to identify the linguistic markers (deictic and lexical affect) that translate speakers’ self-understanding. Through an utterance analysis and sentiment analysis of a corpus of 30 utterances (comments on a Facebook post), the study validated the predominance of utterance markers (such as “I”, “here”) and a sentiment-laden lexicon, such as nostalgia. The results show that digital speech, often multilingual, allows netizens to turn language into a veritable tool of affective expression.
