Ironie ou malentendu ? Usages techno-discursifs et inégalités sémantiques dans les commentaires des réseaux socio-numériques

Abstract

This contribution is part of the field of digital discourse analysis, specifically the analysis of a techno-genre, that of comments in socio-digital networks. We seek, first, to reveal the particularity of the use of two discursive phenomena that is: irony and misunderstanding in a digital ecology of discourse produced in Web 2.0, then, to make a distinction between these two processes by terms of their semantic reception which generally represents a shift in meaning in terms of their interpretation and understanding. Through a qualitative analysis of the comments, we use an Algerian Facebook page: Diridarek.com to show that irony is the result of a misunderstanding, two processes used with the intention of modifying the meaning of the message emitted by comments in the social networks digital.
