Michel de Fornel et al., « Corpus, classes d’exemples et collections en analyse de conversation », Corpus, ID : 10.4000/corpus.3184
The last two decades showed a strong convergence between an applied approach devoted to the creation of large corpora, with coding standards, and new linguistic theories that depend crucially on the existence of such corpus and annotation schemes. Such a convergence does not seem to include conversation analysis (or interactional linguistics), which relies on small corpuses and proposes a qualitative analysis of interaction data. Therefore, the social context, which cannot be reduced to a metadata description, has to be carefully scrutinized. This article deals with the following issue: can the notion of “small corpus” be of any validity for conversational analysts? It offers a positive answer to this question.
