French term or phrase: analyse transversale
here is the context :
analyse du contenu (analyse verticale, entretien par entretien, permettant de restituer la logique discursive et comportementale de chaque interviewé et analyse transversale qui relie l'ensemble du discours, thème par thème, et conduit à mettre en évidence les différentes attitudes et positions).
