Title: Corpus construction processes in Discourse Analysis and beyond
The theory-laden condition as well as the methodological implications of the process of turning a mass of empirical evidence into a proper object of research is rarely addressed as such, notwithstanding its cruciality in research endeavours of various sorts. This is the topic of the session, which will be aproached mainly from a discourse analysis point of view, though the basic lines of reflection expand easily unto other disciplinary concerns. A monographic journal issue which contains 8 (eight) articles that make those corpus-construction operations their focus will allow the students to choose one of those texts as their reading assignment, together with the introduction to the issue, which will be read by all of them. An article by the lecturer, which appeared independently, is also included in the menu.
