Emerging Perspectives On Discourse
Emerging Perspectives On Discourse
The book’s concluding chapter looks forward to the picture emerging from the main strands of research in discourse analysis, as presented in the previous book chapters and suggests a number of areas which are thought of as being prominent in the field’s development. These are: the area of language and social interaction, in which conversation analysis plays a key-role; the study of language, discourse and sociocultural processes, in which ethnography of communication and linguistic anthropological approaches are pivotal; the area of cognition, which is explored by –amongst others-neurolinguistic and computational approaches; the study of literacy/literacies and the analysis of computer-mediated communication and more generally discourse & new technologies; last but not least, corpus linguistics. Although the diversity of views on discourse analysis is a sign of richness, the discussion urges for a closer integration of approaches.
Keywords: Computer-mediated communication, conversation analysis, ethnography of communication, cognition, literacy, corpus linguistics
