Corbeil headed the linguistic department of what was then referred to as the Office de la langue française from 1971 to 1977, participating in the development of the Loi sur la langue officielle du Québec in 1974 and the drafting of the Charte de la langue française in 1977.
Along with linguist Ariane Archambault, Corbeil also conceived and designed the first edition of the Dictionnaire visuel in 1986, which was distributed in more than 100 countries and translated into more than 35 languages.
