Discourse Linguistics and Beyond, vol. 5, Types of Discourse via Applied Research

The notion of discourse type is directly linked to the notion of discourse community: while discourse type represents the thematic (referential) component of discourse production, discourse community represents its social context. What is specific about discourse revealing its transformational nature is that the relations between the form and the content of the unit studies are reciprocal. While discourse community starts to be the thematic center of research, discourse type starts to play the role of its social context. With this logics we can accept both units of research – discourse type and discourse community – as central and equally important for the field of Discourse Linguistics. With this angle of vision in mind, discourse type and discourse community in their interrelation are specified as the object of a research discussion opened in volume 5.
