Abstract
In this discussion on the problem of corpus selection, the author detects a discrepancy between the general recognition of the need to carry out comprehensive collective projects and the common practice of case-studies and unsystematically gathered corpora. The author aims to examine possible selection criteria for corpora. In his view, this constitutes a central problem involving risks comparable to those described with respect to preparing a bibliographical corpus for translation analysis.
