Les traits linguistiques du discours conflictuel dans l’espace numérique

Abstract

The internet has become a platform where critical thinking and people’s e-participation in deliberating certain crucial problems of their town manifest themselves. Conflictual public communication, structured according to oppositional code, can be interpreted as being the acute phase of the process of reclaiming the ideological battle field, reflecting the instable balance of forces and the permanent regroupings within the social sphere. The fact that conflictual discourse works within the public space illustrates the hidden power of the powerless.
