COSEDI (Corpus de genres spécialisés : caractérisation, méthodes et
applications didactiques) follows previous conferences held at the
University of Grenoble Alpes (UGA) in the fields of Languages for
Specific Purposes (LOSP), Lexicology, Terminology and Translation
(LTT) as well as Linguistic resources and pedagogical applications in
specialised languages (RADELAS). In 2023, COSEDI will take place in
Grenoble from December 6th to December 8th.

In France, the research carried out in the late 90s (Habert et al.,
1997) paved the way to major developments in corpus linguistics, which
has since become a well-established discipline (Frérot & Pecman,
2021). Both the applications of corpora -e.g. translation,
terminology, language teaching- and the research on building and
analysing corpora testify to the prominence of corpus linguistics as
shown by the body of literature in the field.

The notion of genres is of crucial importance when one needs to build
and classify corpora as well as to understand discourses produced by
specialised domains. Mastering the genres frequently used in a field
means being recognised as a legitimate member of a specialised
community (Swales 1990; Bhatia 2004). Genres, having a typical
internal structure and, therefore, being conventionalised forms
through which discursive practices exercise their performative form,
represent a culturally recognised message (Biber et al., 2007).
Although there are a number of genre studies, they have not yet
produced any tools for empirical analyses that can be applied on a
large scale across a variety of texts (ibid.). Hence, researchers lack
knowledge about “the general patterns of discourse organization”
across a representative text sample (ibid.).

Many researchers in language for specific purposes (LSP) rely on
corpora based on specialised genres (Millot, 2018; Dury & Picton,
2009; Coutherut, 2016; Parodi, 2008; Venegas, 2008; Calvi, 2010; De
Beni & Hourani-Martin, 2020), thus demonstrating the interest of the
intersection of the notions of corpus and specialised genre for this
type of study. The goal of this conference is to confront these two
theoretical frameworks to better understand how they can mutually
enrich each other. As Handford (2010, p. 256) points out:

This complementary combination of corpus and genre is a logical and
desirable development in discourse analysis: corpora have much to say
about language, but they can be lacking in contextual
interpretability; genres are intrinsically contextual entities, but
their linguistic features may be underexposed.
