  Abstract:  Sustainability is a concept that incorporates a multitude of perceptions, attitudes and practices, from opinion leaders to decision makers, generating a lack of common framework and vision. Through our research, we question this lack at its origin: language. This paper explores institutional discourses in the European space, with the aim of collecting the vocabulary used in communicating sustainability principles. Automated tools are applied to explore raw text data of public discourses practiced in three European dimensions: European institutions (political dimension), UN consultative bodies (civil dimension) and European news outlets (media dimension). We use a mixed methods and mixed techniques research design, which combines text mining through Topic Modelling (TM) with a glossary-based approach using key words in context (KIWC) analysis. We analyze our corpus to discover keywords, topics proportion, social mood trends, for each type and source of discourse.

Keywords: sustainability lexicon, European discourses, topic modeling, discourse analysis, social moods, NLP
