Remember: every ASW model of description* can be reduced, in fine , to two
types of conceptual configurations - the schemas of the objects of analysis , on the
one hand, and the schemas of analytical or descriptive activities on the other hand.
Consequently, the ASW meta-lexicon of conceptual terms is made up of two
mutually complementary sets of conceptual terms (see Figure 11.3):
1. the first set of the meta-lexicon: the vocabulary of conceptual terms whose
root term is [Objectofanalysis] ;
2. the second set of the meta-lexicon: the vocabulary of conceptual terms whose
root term is [Procedureofanalysis] .
In the previous chapters, we distinguished between several large categories of
objects for analyzing an audiovisual text or corpus:
‒ the objects which make up the domain of reference (i.e. the domain which the
audiovisual text being analyzed “speaks about”);
‒ the objects which contextualize the former in time and space;
‒ truly discursive objects (which therefore enable us to understand how the text
being analyzed speaks about its subject);
