Abstract

Studies on orality have acquired great relevance in the last decades along with the appearance of corpus linguistics research and the creation of increasingly more sophisticated textual analysis tools. In this work, we have carried out an exhaustive analysis of articles published in fifteen international journals of the highest prestige and relevance in the area of Applied Linguistics during the years 2004 and 2005. Our purpose is to determine the most outstanding lines of work in orality are and hence to uncover at which point the research in this area stands. For the purpose of our study we have classified the works analysed in three main blocks: mononuclear structures, complex structures and syntactic and pragmatic structures. The first thing that needs highlighting is the variety of texts under scrutiny, as well as the contexts of study and the languages examined. Nonetheless, there exists homogeneity regarding the type of analysis employed, which is fundamentally qualitative for the mononuclear structures and quantitative for the complex ones. Within the latter, both types of analysis are involved in the syntactic and pragmatic units. One of the shortcomings we found is the fact that none of the published works is based on a longitudinal study with samples of the same informants at different time points.
