Students are specifically trained in survey techniques (data collection, observation, interviews, documentary survey) and in techniques for analyzing oral or written corpus. They are also introduced to the manipulation of software specialized in the processing and analysis of language corpus. For them, it is a matter of concretely experimenting with research work as well as a diversity of methods for analyzing discourse in society, discourse designed in connection with contemporary issues: gender, urbanization, migration, group identity practices, languages minority, media (digitalization and social networks), ideologies, schooling. The training allows above all the students to wonder about what the discourse can teach us about the role of language in social organization and in the game of social relationships (power relations, social differentiation, identity constructions, cultural aspects, interpersonal relationships, etc.). It leads them to develop a critical and distanced look at the different types of discourse produced in society (professional, political, media, common sense discourse, urban discourse), including discourse on discrimination (gender, generational, social, ethnic?). We examine the ways in which discourse contributes to the construction of inequalities, but also the ways in which it can remedy them.
