Le discours hypertextualisé des magazines de vulgarisation scientifique français en ligne

This research analyzes the hypertextual discourse of four French scientific popularization magazine websites: Futura-Sciences, Pour la Science, Science & Vie, Sciences et avenir. Our approach, based on digital discourse analysis, focuses more in general on dissemination of scientific knowledge to lay people. At a macro-linguistic level, we will identify from the homepage the popularizing and/or commercial intention of these magazines, as well as the type of digitalization of each magazine, which generally publishes also a more ancient version which is not freely available to the public. At a micro-linguistic level, our analysis deals with the techno-discursive structure of one document per website, namely as far as hyperlinks are concerned. As a consequence, we will place our documents on a scalar level of digitalization and innovation, reached by productions which originally come from the web.
