Phonogenres. Annotations, tools, long-term maintenance: what else? This paper presents a large speech corpus, C-Phonogenres, its annotations at various levels, and enrichments, such as the online public access and search tools (Goldman § al. 2014). Built for studying situational phonostylistic variation, the corpus features seven hours of annotated speech in eight speaking styles, or phono-genres. The corpus website allows various searches, download, and statistical mining. Firstly, I discuss various constraints on maintenance and sharing corpora. Then, I present an online perception experiment aimed at determining to what extent phono-genres are identifiable, in both filtered and non-filtered speech, by francophone and non-francophone hearers (Goldman§ al. 2014b). Results show that phonostyles are largely identifiable without linguistic content, on the basis of their prosodic form only. These results are convergent with a previous study, conducted on different but analogous data (Obin al § 2010). To conclude I discuss epistemological constraints and conditions on corpus linguistic research. Corpus linguistic restricts its domain and epistemological stance in describing “past speech”, on a limited base (the closed corpus), and from a third person perspective. A “Chomskyan turn” might take place, mutatis mutandis, for pragmatic discourse analysis (Auchlin 1999). Looking the other way round, phono-genres emerge and stabilize out of many speakers’ speeches. Such choice is part of the speaker’s discursive competence (Auchlin 1999 i.a.), the proper object of study for a new discourse analysis.
Keywords: Prosody, discourse, prosodic situational variation, phonostyle, phono-genre, epistemology, embodiment.
