The acronym CAQDAS (Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software) is not familiar to sociologists in France, where the methodological approach to textual analysis reflects the influence of the sociolinguistic tradition. Current approaches to textual analysis include lexicometric, classical content analysis, word association networks, and psycholinguistic methods. Some software has been developed for textual engineering, analysis of sociological surveys and for specific research problems. Article text is in French.
