The corpus consists of two summaries of scientific reports produced by the IPCC and the IPBES, and popularisation and research articles dealing with the same issues. The framework presented in Register, Genre and Style (2009) by Douglas Biber and Susan Conrad is used in this work in order to depict the enunciative stances expressed in the different texts. The analyses link the distribution of linguistic features with the contexts of the texts to describe their purposes and functions. The expressions of knowledge, necessity as well as implicative structures and the use of personal pronouns are studied in this project. Catherine Paulin Memoire Unistra
