Internet, Search engines, Discourse controlAbstract
Any concrete statement is a link in the communication chain of a particular human activity field” (BAKHTIN, 2003, p. 296). If it is true, my discourse is now a response to another discourse with which I interacted yesterday. If search engines can control the voices of whom I am able to talk on the Internet, they are also able to control my own discourse. From this point of view, this article discusses the criteria of relevance adopted by search engines to select theirs outputs, especially Google’s criteria, responsible for half of the Internet searches.
KEYWORDS: Internet. Search engines. Discourse control.
