Linguistic regularities in oral pedagogical scientific-academic speech in french language

Abstract

This paper is part of the Research Project “Differences and contact points between oral didactic and written discourse in French and English and its relationship with the teaching of foreign languages”. We present a descriptive and exploratory study of certain linguistic or phraseological routines that are present in the scientific-academic, pedagogic, oral discourse, particularly in the following genres: master class and lectures in the French language. At a formal level, these constructions constitute recurrent statements that at a semantic level fulfill different functions. Therefore, we have gathered a corpus of three master classes and four lectures in the French language. We have adopted as a reference theoretical framework the multidimensional approach by Ciapuscio and Kugel (2002).
