Discourse analysis covers different practices from more or less recent traditions and across different discursive genres (literary texts, media texts, etc.). This manual, supported by the UMR Praxiling, presents in an accessible and synthetic manner the main methodological tools of discourse analysis and shows how to implement them on a wide range of texts: press articles, television interviews, letters from soldiers, comedy sketches, fables, tweets and SMS, etc.). Written by specialists from different fields of language sciences (interaction, stylistics, phonetics, argumentation, automatic processing, etc.), it offers an overview of the discipline as it is practiced today in its great diversity, and finds its originality in its organization around innovative entries and in the effort to apply notions and tools to the diversity of written and oral discourses. For researchers and students in linguistics, literature and communication.
