Dire le(s) risque(s). Une analyse linguistique des discours du nucléaire

Through a corpus of vulgarisation texts on nuclear energy, issued from industry, associations or media, we study the senses of the word " risk " inside its different contexts and we evaluate its usage. We try to enlight the discursive strategies elaborated by the enonciators when they speak of risk. Our approach is sociolinguistics and aims to show how different discourses build the meaning of a term like "risk".
