Objectives of the GENTT Project
To buil-up a catalogue (mapping) of genres
(GENTT field trees)
To classify and characterize those professional texts
(GENTT Genre Template)
To build-up a multilingual example corpus of specialized
discourse texts (GENTT example corpus)
To provide translators of professional texts with text
models and templates which could be used as reference
To create an electronic tool to manage all the information
in the corpus (GENTT Corpus Management System)
Project phases
Theoretical background debate: the concept
of genre (2000 - 2009)
Compilation of the GENTT corpus (2000 - …)
Exploitation
