Summary/Abstract: In this article, we postulate the structuring character of phraseological units when characterizing textual genres using corpus linguistics. The corpus analyzed here consists of texts in Old French (13th century) belonging to different textual genres (prose novel, verse novel, chronicles). The complex issue of textual genre, in the Middle Ages as well as today, leads us to explore the possibility of characterizing a genre by the recurrent linguistic units it contains. Our aim is to propose a methodology to discriminate generic particularities in medieval narrative fictions. A pilot study on phraseological units built around the French verbs donner and mettre (used with their full meanings or as auxiliary verbs) will allow us to distinguish the prose novel sub-corpus from the contrast sub-corpus.
