Sermon as a source on oral language: typology, methodology and hypotheses.Although they are available in large numbers both in public and private institutions, printed and manuscript sermons of Early Modern Europe are not yet considered as a worthy source for the diachronic study of oral language. In this article, we propose first a typology of sermons in terms of their relation to the oral discourse they were produced for, based on the study of manuscript and printed texts kept at the Bibliothèque de Genève. Secondly, we define a hierarchic series of criteria to select a corpus of texts suitable for a diachronic study on oral language. Thirdly, we formulate three hypotheses to be explored on a latter study of such a corpus. 

Keywords: preaching, manuscript sermons, printed sermons, orality, oral writing, represented orality.
