This chapter discusses the role and characteristics of oral discourse in scientific
research, with “scientific” understood in a broad sense, covering any discipline
of research. After introducing corpora of oral academic discourse, genre-specific
characteristics of PhD defences, research group meetings, colloquia, and conference
presentations are discussed from a discoursal point of view. In scientific research,
oral discourse plays a fundamental role in the social construction of knowledge. Its
analysis offers valuable insights into the sociology of scientific communities.
