Digital writing formats. A topological analysis of screen publishing
language: french
publication date: June 2024abstract: Digital writings, like writings in general, are presented visually to the reader through different forms depending on the discourse of circulation and the distribution devices. These visual forms typical of certain discourses and appropriate to certain devices are generally identified as formats. The concept of format has long escaped attempts at definition in semiotics and linguistics. However, it is a key concept for the analysis of texts, because it is closely linked, on the one hand, to the writing medium and, on the other, to the genre of discourse. We then propose to analyze the format by observing newspapers on paper and digital media.
