De quoi Intégration est-il le nom ? L’importation d’une querelle de mots dans le champ de la formation linguistique des migrants

Abstract

The article aims at describing the articulation between argumentation and nomination based on the nominative conflict revived by the publication of the Référentiel Français Langue d'Intégration (FLI), in the viewpoint of a praxematic and sociolinguistic discourse analysis. After having briefly presented the debates which occur about the nomination Integration, my analyses follow two complementary goals. I first describe a situation in which the word becomes the object of the argumentation. By which sociodiscursive strategies speakers legitime and justify their nominative choice ? By a discourse analysis based on a lexical entry, I then try to document and enlighten the conflict by disclosing some elements of the meaning program of the praxem Integration that the authors, in a dialectic way, actualize and contribute to impose in the meantime. The whole text constitutes an additional and critical lighting about the FLI frame of reference, its production conditions and its contents, in the continuity of the debates which occurred since it was released.
