Research Program Overview — Discursive Signatures and Uses of Large Language Models

Abstract

This record provides an overview of the research program Discursive Signatures and Uses of Large Language Models (LLM). The program investigates how different large language models produce self-referential discourse and how these discursive patterns influence their practical use in knowledge activities. Three recurrent discursive regimes are identified: functional translation (the model presents itself as a technical system) reflexive absorption (the model comments on its own operation) conversational dissolution (the model stabilizes a social interaction) The objective is not to attribute cognition or subjectivity to LLMs, but to analyze the operational consequences of these discursive signatures for research, documentation, and learning practices. This document is a research overview and methodological entry point to the associated working papers.

Ce programme étudie la manière dont différents modèles de langage produisent des discours auto-référentiels et comment ces formes discursives influencent leurs usages pratiques dans les activités de connaissance. Trois régimes discursifs récurrents sont identifiés : translation fonctionnelle : le modèle se présente comme un système technique absorption réflexive : le modèle commente son propre fonctionnement dissolution conversationnelle : le modèle stabilise une interaction sociale L’objectif n’est pas d’attribuer une cognition ou une subjectivité aux LLM, mais d’analyser les conséquences opérationnelles de ces signatures discursives pour la recherche, la documentation et les pratiques d’apprentissage. Ce document constitue une présentation générale du programme et un point d’entrée méthodologique vers les working papers associés.
