Studies in Discourse Analysis

2015

Overview

This book examines how formal linguistic methods can illuminate the structure of verbal interaction. It specifically focuses on the coherence of successive utterances in continuous spoken discourse. Initially, it presents a model for discourse analysis developed for classroom teacher-pupil interactions. Subsequently, it reviews efforts to apply this model to diverse discourse types, including committee discussions, doctor-patient interviews, broadcast conversations, and lectures. The expansion of the original model has led to innovations and new insights, presented through complementary themes.
