Abstract EN:

In order to respond to the documentation needs of the INA (the National Broadcasting Institute), which indexes French television program archives, we propose to use "paradocumentation" in computer-aided treatments. The so-called "paradocumentation" is comprised of all of the textual or photographic documents produced in the making of the audiovisual document. As long as the "peritexts" exist in an electronic format, they can be structured in the form of corpora of which the content is closely linked to the audiovisual program and can therefore enrich its description. The scientific goal is to exploit the results obtained from the treatments in a general language with an approach historically developed for sublanguages (methods, tools). There is a pragmatic reason for this choice (no other tools are available) as well as a theoretical one : general language resists automation as showed by Zellig Harris. We have conducted several experiments on the semantic acquisition of different peritexts taken from political programs : indexing files, transcriptions from soundtracks, press articles. . .
