A lexical analysis of the titles and key words from 1972 to 2010
This article studies the material produced by l’Espace géographique since the creation of the journal in 1972 on the basis of the titles and key words of the 1090 articles published in this period. The statistical processing of this corpus enables the key-words specific to a given period to be pinpointed, and these provide good indications of the main stages in the history of the journal. In addition, lexical analysis of the titles of the articles evidences successive lexical fields. These approaches enable the scientific trajectory of the journal to be traced, and they reveal the journal’s spheres of reference. This provides a transect of the history of French geography over the last four decades, through the upheavals in the world to which the journal chose to devote page space.
