Lexical Treatment Of Environmental Discourse In Algeria: The Case Of Shale Gas Exploitation In The Newspaper " The New Republic " (2012-2014)

Abstract

The aim of this contribution is to study the lexical treatment used by the French-language national press “The New Republic” on the issue of the exploitation of shale gas in Algeria. While the journalist attaches much more importance to the words energy, he tends to use a relatively moderate vocabulary when it comes to protecting the environment.
