摘要

This paper has three main aims: (1) it introduces - to a non-German readership - a specific branch of linguistic discourse analysis that has evolved in Germanic linguistics since the late 1980s - Diskurslinguistik (discourse linguistics), (2) it raises some methodical and methodological issues that are currently discussed within this discourse-linguistic branch and (3) it presents a model (called DIMEAN) that addresses these methodological issues. We hope to provide the reader with some impetus to a general methodological debate within linguistic discourse analysis that intensely re-reflects both its complex subject matter and the diverse approaches to this matter, i.e. to discourse.View full textDownload full textKeywordsDiscourse, discourse linguistics, multi-layered discourse analysis, methodology, methodsRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17405904.2011.558680
