An archaetypale typology of discursive intentions for mythanalysis

Abstract

Traditionally, speech analyses focus on the description of socio-semantic structures and networks through, among other techniques, the use of textual statistical tools. In this article, we propose an alternative approach that positioning the analysis ahead of the speech and prioritises the building blocks of a myth as a discursive construction. Focusing on discursive intent allows for a different understanding of myth speech by making it possible to decrypt its history. Our aim is to achieve an archetypale typology of discursive intentions that can explain the origin of myths. The intention expressed refers to a system of knowledge and values and aims to meet specific needs. The archaetypale typology of discursive intentions emerges from all possible combinations of three types of knowledge – empirical, scientific and intuitive – of three types of values – individual, contextual and universal – and three types of needs – physical, social and transcendental. A speech/myth is not limited to a single archetytype of the proposed typology, it is the result of prioritisation of different types of needs, knowledge, and values in a single and individual combination. Such a typology would make it possible not only to describe the discursive intentions constituting myths, but also to examine dominant trends within an organisation or trade, or in society. This model is currently used to match indecent people as to their career orientation with occupations, based on an inventory of discursive intentions reported.
