Meeting Description:

Drawing on both written and spoken texts, corpus linguistics
operationalizes metadata such as the date of composition, author(s),
linguistic variety, and genre.
Nevertheless, despite a strong theoretical tradition, in corpus
linguistic inquiries the term 'genre' is often used without being
defined, replaced by other terms such as text types, discourse types,
or abandoned in favor of other descriptive variables (e.g., register:
written/spoken; narration/representation of speech; theme: feminist
discourse, ecological; communicative nature: immediacy/distance,
etc.).
Within the framework of this two-days workshop, we would like to turn
to the practical aspect of using the notion of genre in corpus
linguistics. The meeting is thus proposed as a methodological
reflection on the operationalization of the notion of genre in
linguistic inquiries. It also aims to strengthen the dialogue between
researchers working on old states of the French language and those
studying its contemporary state. The Workshop will thus highlight the
variety of perceptions and ways of operationalizing the parameter of
genre according to the chronological period, the linguistic level, and
the theoretical approach.

Call for Papers:

We invite proposals for talks presenting analyses on corpora of any
state of the French language at any linguistic level; comparative and
multilingual studies including French are also welcome.

The proposed themes are as follows:
 - Moving genre(s): difficulties in genres demarcation, the need to
form an ad hoc classification in synchrony or diachrony; implications
for the constitution of electronic corpora and/or corpus linguistic
analyses;
 - Problematic genre(s): the parameter of genre as an obstacle to the
study of a linguistic phenomenon; analyses that invalidate the
relevance of genre as a variable of linguistic inquiry.

Proposals of 400 words maximum (bibliography not included) in French
or English should be sent to the two organizers (Zinaida Geylikman
zinaida.geylikman at gmail.com and Angelina Aleksandrova
angelina.aleksandrova at u-paris.fr) by February 15, 2025. The Workshop
will result in a collective publication in the form of a thematic
journal issue.

The workshop will be funded by the ANR Access ERC Starting 2023 Grant
