ANALYSE DU DISCOURS APPLIQUEE A L'ENSEIGNEMENT DE COMPETENCES COMMUNICATIVES DANS LE DOMAINE DU TOURISME

International audienceThis paper focuses on possible didactic applications of corpus linguistic analysis results. After having stated the theoretical frame around the concept of specialized discourses within a professional context, it is firstly argued that professional discourses use the same linguistic patterns than « general » discourse; hence, it is not necessary to acquire previous general knowledge before learning language for specific purposes (LSP). Secondly, this paper suggests that corpus linguistic can help to teach communicative competences what is illustrated through the analysis of the pragmatic patterns present in a corpus made of « short stories ». This corpus has been set for a European KA2 language project named « Tell Me A Story »
