内容简介
Disourse analysis is a term which has come to have different interpretations for scholars working in different disciplines. For a sociolinguist. it is concerned mainly with the structure of social interactionmanifested in conversation; for a psycholinguist, it is primarily concerned with the nature of comprehension of short written texts; for the computational linguist, it is concerned with producing operational models of text-understanding within highly limited contexts. In this textbook, the authors provide an extensive overview of the many and diverse approaches to the study of discourse, but base their own approach centrally on the discipline which, to varying degrees, is common to them all - linguistics. Using a methodology which has much in common with descriptive linguistics, they offer a lucid and wide-ranging account of how forms of language are used in communication.
Their principal concern is to examine how any language produced by man, whether spoken or written, is used to communicate for a purpose in a context. The discussion is carefully illustrated throughout by a wide variety of discourse types(conversations recorded in different social situations, extracts from newspapers, notices, contemporary fiction, graffiti, etc.). The techniques of analysis are described and exemplified in sufficient detail for the student to be able to apply them to any language in context that he or she encounters.
A familiarity with elementary linguistics is assumed, but the range of issues discussed in conjunction with the variety of exemplifcation presented will made this a valuable and stimulating textbook not only for students of linguistics, but for any reader who ishes to investigate the principles underlying the use of language i natural contexts to communicate and understand intended meaning.
This book makes for absorbing reading. It is very well-written, inspiring and clear. It isindispensable literature for anyone working in the field of discourse analysis. Journal ofSemantics.

精彩书摘
The place at which it appeared is relevant. It was spraygunned on awall in Glasgow. The form of the text, together with the informa-tion about place, may suggest to you, if you have previousexperience of such texts, that this text derives from an interactionbetween street gangs. Encyclopaedic knowledge of the world mightinform you that the writer is a member of Mad Mental (a streetgang) and that the intended addressees are members of TheInsects (another street gang). You then need to make appeal toprevious discourse in which the Insects had proclaimed INSECTSBITE. (You might then appeal to your knowledge of what Hymescalls message-form which informs you that street gang interactionson walls consists of taunts and counter-taunts. Thus you mightarrive at an attribution of intention in the warning SQUASHEDINSECTS DONT BITE and the straight assertion MAD MEN-TAL RULE - without the OK tag, which might be taken to inviteassent on the part of the addressee.) Texts a and b, addressed to the general reader, are relativelyaccessible fragments of language which require only specification ofthe intended referents to make them readily interpretable. Text c isintended for specific addressees, not for the general public, and it ishard for the general public to interpret without access to sharedpresuppositions and previous experience which cannot comfortablybe forced into the framework proposed by Lewis. In order to takeaccount of this, we are going to need some way of making appeals tonotions like shared presuppositions, encyclopaedic knowledge,intention / purpose in uttering and experience of previous similartext which we have simply appealed to in an ad hoc way in ourdiscussion so far.
前言/序言
近年来,国际交往日益频繁,国际贸易急速发展,出现了一种前所未有的现象:学外语、教外语、用外语的人多了;研究语言学和应用语言学的人多了;开设这方面专业的高校也多了,语言学硕士生和博士生也多了。就是不以此为专业,学习语言学和应用语言学的也不乏其人。为了给从事这个专业的师生提供便利,同时又帮助一般外语教师、涉外工作者以及汉语研究者开阔思路,扩大视野,提高效率,我们献上这套内容崭新而丰富的丛书——英文版《当代国外语言学与应用语言学文库》。
文库首批推出54部外国英文原著,它覆盖了语言学与应用语言学26个分支学科。这批书是我们与各地有关专家教授反复研究之后精选出来的。出版这样大规模的语言学与应用语言学丛书,这在我国语言学界和外语教学界是破天荒第一次。
我们这样做,抱着什么希望呢?总的说来,是遵循教育部关于加强一级学科教育的指示,在世纪之交,推出一套书来给中国的外语教育领航,同时也给一般外语工作者和汉语研究者提供信息,拓宽思路。
我们希望这个文库能成为进一步带动外语教学改革和科研的发动机;我们希望它能成为运载当代外国语言学理论、语言研究方法和语言教学方法来到中国的特快列车;我们希望,有了这套书,语言学与应用语言学专业师生就能顺利地进行工作;我们希望,通过读这套书,青年外语教师和外语、汉语研究者能迅速把能力提高,把队伍不断扩大。
