    Dear all,
    many have suggested me to visit the websites of European Parliament and
    Canadian Parliament, for institutional texts and technical reports, as well
    as OPUS or HowTo (Linux) sites for technical documentation. Indeed, we
    already have explored several sources (I have collected the links on my
    website : http://www.u-grenoble3.fr/kraif/liens.htm). But the kind of
    bi-text we are looking for is very specific, because we want to focus on
    'methodological' expressions and collocations such as "émettre une
    hypothèse", "tirer une conclusion", "mener une expérience", "soulever un
    problème", "un résultat concluant", des "données empiriques",
    "l'amélioration des résultats", etc. It is why we need scientific articles,
    which constitutes, according to our hypothesis, a specific genre. The
    problem is that most of the time these texts are rewritten and adapted, and
    seldom really translated...
    Anyway, thanks a lot for the many answers I have received !

    Regards,

    Olivier Kraif
