Analysing the uses of the wooden language in political and media circumstances first requires situating this concept in an appropriate field of scientific research. This field is indeed multidisciplinary, because the wooden language, as a manifestation of language and a phenomenon of communication inspiring speakers with "an ordinary rhetorical feeling" (Krieg-Planque), constitutes a kind of "metalanguage specific to political discourse" (Fiala, Pineira, Sériot, 1989 and Krieg-Planque, 2010), whose analysis thus places us at the crossroads of at least three different disciplines, but close at the same time: linguistics, discourse analysis and information and communication sciences (although the path can take us to sociology, rhetoric or political science). This interdisciplinary rapprochement, as explained by Claire Oger in a chapter of the book Discourse Analysis and Human and Social Sciences, opens up "possibilities of interdisciplinary cooperation in the study of communication phenomena", from a pragmatic and enunciative perspective targeting the practices and discursive strategies of the social and political actors who are at their origin. In this perspective, the study of the wooden language can involve us in a field of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary analysis at the same time, because it is a question in particular of analysing the modes of manufacture and manifestation of this element integrated in the material of political and social discursive reality.
