Extension des Aires marines protégées (AMP) et concertation citoyenne. Analyse linguistique des discours de co-construction

Abstract

This article examines the evolution of postures and discourses around the creation of a protected natural area located in a coastal zone, a territory physically delimited and occupied by a historical diversity of stakeholders/users, and more specifically at what is at stake in the participatory episodes of a consultation process initiated as part of a development project, the extension of a marine reserve. It proposes a cross-analysis between linguistics and geography, in line with the interdisciplinary perspective prevailing in environmental sciences (Hicks et al., 2010). Our first approach, based on discourse analysis, is based on a textometric study to identify shared vocabulary and lexical specificities. The results lead us to mobilize the linguistics of enunciation to characterize the enunciative positioning of stakeholder groups, and to describe the different postures adopted during the consultation process.
