Let us return now to the
objects of analysis*
. In [STO 11a], we distinguished
five main categories which we use to define the
thematic models
(i.e. models of
thematic description or description of the content). Using those thematic models, we
describe a subject thematized and developed in an audiovisual text or, rather, in a
corpus of audiovisual texts:
1.
referential objects
(i.e. those which form part of such-and-such an empirical
domain documented by an audiovisual corpus);
2.
contextualobjects
(of spatial/temporal localization, etc.);
3.
discursiveobjects
(i.e. of discourse production);
4.
objects of audiovisual expression
(i.e. visual expression, acoustic expression,
syncretic expression, etc.) and
verbal
expression;
5. so-called
reflexive objects
(i.e. those which serve to produce a meta-discourse
concerning the analysis itself).
