This thesis aims at a comparative analysis of the anti-migrant political discourse of the (French) Rassemblement National and the (Italian) League. In particular, it focuses on the discourses conducted on Twitter, by the main members of these two parties, during the 2019 European elections. This period was characterized by the rapprochement of the two parties and by the many arrivals that led to a resurgence of the debate on migration throughout Europe. The objective is to study the anti-migrant discourses of both parties in order to highlight their differences and similarities, while taking into account the particularities of the discursive place. To achieve this, we posed the following questions: do the similarities depend on the canons of the populist discourse of the European right-wing parties or on the rapprochement of the two parties? Are the differences due to political choices, to linguistic specificities or to the historical-cultural context of each country? To this end, we have created a vast corpus of almost 50,000 tweets posted by the main members of both parties in a period ranging from one year before to one year after the 2019 European elections. To answer these fundamental questions, we used several methods: a lexicometric analysis (using corpus statistical processing software) to determine the semantic universes and the positions of the speakers involved; an enunciative analysis to identify the locutive behaviors of the actors and an argumentative analysis in order to highlight the logics and the reasoning that characterize these positions.

Abstract

This thesis aims at a comparative analysis of the anti-migrant political discourse of the (French) Rassemblement National and the (Italian) League. In particular, it focuses on the discourses conducted on Twitter, by the main members of these two parties, during the 2019 European elections. This period was characterized by the rapprochement of the two parties and by the many arrivals that led to a resurgence of the debate on migration throughout Europe. The objective is to study the anti-migrant discourses of both parties in order to highlight their differences and similarities, while taking into account the particularities of the discursive place. To achieve this, we posed the following questions: do the similarities depend on the canons of the populist discourse of the European right-wing parties or on the rapprochement of the two parties? Are the differences due to political choices, to linguistic specificities or to the historical-cultural context of each country? To this end, we have created a vast corpus of almost 50,000 tweets posted by the main members of both parties in a period ranging from one year before to one year after the 2019 European elections. To answer these fundamental questions, we used several methods: a lexicometric analysis (using corpus statistical processing software) to determine the semantic universes and the positions of the speakers involved; an enunciative analysis to identify the locutive behaviors of the actors and an argumentative analysis in order to highlight the logics and the reasoning that characterize these positions.

Cette thèse a pour objet l’analyse comparative du discours politique anti-migrants du Rassemblement National (français ) et de la Ligue (italienne) En particulier elle se focalise sur les discours menés sur Twitter, par les principaux membres de ces deux partis, lors des élections européennes de 2019, qui a été une période caractérisée par le rapprochement des deux partis et par les nombreux débarquements qui ont porté à un resurgissement du débat sur la migration partout en Europe Notre objectif est d’étudier les discours anti-migrants des deux partis afin d’en faire ressortir les différences et les similitudes tout en prenant toutefois en compte les particularités du lieu discursif. Pour ce faire nous nous sommes posé les questions suivantes : les similarités dépendent-elles des canons du discours populistes des partis de droite européens ou du rapprochement des deux partis ? les différences sont-elles plutôt dues à des choix politiques, à des particularités linguistiques ou au contexte historico-culturel de chaque pays ? A ce but, nous avons créé un vaste corpus de presque 50mille tweets postés par le principaux membres des deux partis dans une période allant d’un an avant à un an après les élections européennes de 2019. Pour répondre à nos interrogations fondamentales nous avons fait recours à plusieurs méthodes : une analyse lexicométrique (en utilisant des logiciels de traitement statistique des corpus) afin de déterminer les univers sémantiques et les positionnements des locuteurs impliqués ; une analyse énonciative pour cerner les comportements locutifs des acteurs et une analyse argumentative dans le but de mettre en évidence les logiques et les raisonnements qui caractérisent les dits positionnements.
