The study is based on an English-French bilingual corpus made up of original (i.e. non-translated) texts, representing three genres: European parliamentary debates, newspaper editorials and academic articles. First, 2- to 4-grams are extracted in each language. Second, the most frequent 1000 n-grams for each n-gram length and in each language are analyzed by means of CA with a view to determining which n-grams are particularly salient in the genres examined. Finally, n-grams are manually classified into a range of categories, such as stance expressions, discourse markers and referential expressions. The results show that the n-gram approach makes it possible to uncover typical features of the three genres investigated, as well as interesting contrasts between English and French.Show less >
