| Summary: | In this paper we intend to analyse how terrorism is represented as a discursive referent in the discourses of the current European Parliament’s committees (2014-2017). We will adopt a discursive approach to the lexicon that is influenced by the French discourse analysis in order to examine the discursive occurrences of the words “terrorism” and “terrorist”, as well as some related words such as “Jihadist”, “Daesh” and/or “Islamic state”. We will show that the European Parliament’s discourse about terrorism refers to a contractual object that is different from the social referents existing in the political discourses in French and that is influenced by the “smoothing” process of the “discursive materiality” that is typical of this kind of institutional discourse. |
