摘要:The present special issue addresses an interesting question:the discourse analysis (DA).The question is interesting for current knowledge about discourse.Writing works for an established field like DA presents a huge challenge.Such a special issue of Anadiss Review should contribute novel perspectives on present knowledge;and –why not– add new insights.Because DA has become such a large field in its own right,we can say that DA is not just one approach,but a series of approaches (Jorgensen & Phillips 2002:1).
