Résumé
The Social Discourse-based Approach (SDA) adapts to all types of contextual configurations. Among other topics, it touches upon Discourse mechanisms, some of them barely intelligible, such as insinuation, a priori, digression, displacement of meaning or its shortening. As useful in political science as in criminology, philosophy or information science, this approach enables us to examine what lies within a practitioner's declarations on his or her uses, as well as what is individual or institutional in purpose-oriented conclusions, even going so far as to investigate forms of imprecation or deprecation as documented by ethnopsychiatry.
