Le corpus Ébullition : un outil pour l’analyse de la représentation de l’espace et du paysage linguistique dans la BD québécoise

Abstract

This article presents the possible uses of the Ébullition corpus for research on the representation of space, including the linguistic landscape, in Quebec comics. The Ébullition corpus, thanks to the encoding of the texts of the comics of the corpus in XML-TEI language, makes it possible to carry out advanced searches that highlight the linguistic elements relating to space: not only odonyms, but also any text that is part of the linguistic landscape (place names, business names, posters, signs, etc.). This research will make it possible to highlight, for example, the face of Montreal at a given time or the relationship between French and English, as represented in Quebec comics.
