Text - Interdisciplinary Journal for the Study of Discourse

Description:

---

Discontinued. Continued by Text & Talk (1860-7330). Since its inception in 1981, Text has established itself as an internationally recognized forum for interdisciplinary research on all aspects of discourse (e. g. , the situational and historical nature of text production, the cognitive and sociocultural processes of language practice, participant-based structures of negotiation and linguistic selection). TEXT aims: to challenge through critique and debate the tenets of discourse research across disciplinary boundaries, both in terms of theoretical output and practical outcomes; to encourage dissemination of scholarly work in under-represented domains (e. g. communication science, artificial intelligence, forensic linguistics, rhetoric and composition, stylistics, narratives, institutional ethnography, sociology of science); to remain independent of any individual or group ideology, while encouraging in equal measure the use of discourse to challenge discourse orthodoxy; to maintain a revitalized specialist board and an expanded advisory board consisting of well-known discourse scholars; to produce annual TEXT review issues to consolidate discourse-related research publications, including book series.
