Legalistic and commitment-oriented corporate codes of ethics. Distinctive macro textual and lexico-syntactic traits

With its relatively recent major role in corporate discourse, code of ethics is the expected privileged locus for a company to signal its ethical commitment to self-regulation. As underlined by Catenaccio and Garzone (2017), a legalistic approach seems to be distinguishable from a commitment-oriented approach. The present study aims to investigate if distinctive traits of the two approaches are identifiable both at a macro-textual level and at micro-textual (lexical and syntactic) level and, if so, if they are influenced by business sectors.

Migration et vulnérabilité dans le discours institutionnel des ONG/OSI humanitaires internationales

This research is part of multilingual interdisciplinary research. It is a case study, synchronic and qualitative, whose central theme is the vulnerability of migrants. We proposed to examine the relational nature of this vulnerability using a trilingual corpus: French, Italian and Spanish. To do this, we have chosen the institutional discourse of national and international NGOs and operational humanitarian NGOs, about the political and humanitarian crisis that accompanied the arrival of the humanitarian ship Aquarius, responsible for survivors in June 2018.
