Résumé
This paper examines the communicational and linguistic mechanisms associated with the circulation of conspiracy-oriented discourse on Twitter, based on a corpus of more than 55.5 million tweets in French about Covid-19 vaccination. Using an innovative tensor decomposition method, the paper identifies clusters of accounts structured over time around specific events relayed in the media. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of tweets from a specific cluster highlight the influence on its circulation of the constituents of a given tweet, and of the constructional and pragma-semantic level of the hashtags which are associated with the cluster.
