Introduction

[Laurent Gautier]

I joined the DISCOURS list a few weeks ago and I would like to introduce myself to the other subscribers.

I’m a French germanist teaching as assistant (German linguistics and translation) at the Marc Bloch University in Strasbourg (France). My researches focus on phraseology (in language system and language use) and on the links between culture and language (especially on the Austrian variety of Standard German). I’m now working on this last topic for my doctorate thesis trying to put together the main key-words of Austrian culture as reflected in literary and technical texts (e.g. autobiographies, diaries and constitutions) ranging from 1900 to nowadays. In this way, ‘discourse’ and ‘text’ are central concepts for my research and I hope getting some interesting impulses from the DISCOURS list.
