Pluralism and Plurality of Interpretations

Abstract

This chapter first distinguishes pluralism and the plurality of interpretations. It focuses on the plurality of interpretations that unfold in the chain of operations of discursive materials using a computer. The chapter shows through two examples, how computer resources allow the validation of interpretations at work in different research operations. It examines the categorization process from two research experiments using Sato software. The chapter also focuses on the validation of interpreting results using the triangulation methods proposed by various pieces of software: Sato, Alceste, Lexico3 and DTM. The application of the grid gains in terms of systematicity and accuracy. Finally, through the combination of methods of analysis, we increase the reliability of conclusions by providing a means by which to corroborate or refute assumptions and conclusions.
