 Howdy folks
A good bit of the ink that gets spilled in corpus linguistics is spent on sussing out lexical and structural correlates of written genres and registers in English (and, I would guess, other western-European majority languages), e.g., Biber and Conrad's: Register, Genre, and Style (2009).
I'm curious if there have been focused efforts along these lines for under-documented/minority/low resource languages that don't have much in the way of a written tradition. 
Say you have a minority language community that does a lot of oral storytelling, the kinds of stories they tell might be grouped in genres based on the content of said stories (such as creation stories vs. personal life experience stories), and you want to see if perhaps certain lexico-syntactic, phonetic, or discourse phenomena might be more typical in one of the type of story compared to the other.

If you've done work like this, or have come across work of this type, I'd be very appreciative of any references you might have.
best,--Alex
