Major contributions to the development of discourse analysis
Discourse analysis seems to be a meeting point between five disciplines: linguistics, sociolinguistics, sociology, and social psychology.
Dell Hymes (1972), Anthropologist, has broken such a basis of studying speech in its social setting to cover the forms of address.
J. L. Austin (1962) and Searle (1969), linguistic philosophers, was influential in the study of language as a social activity.
M.A.K. Halliday (1970) and his systemic linguistics emphasized the social functions of language and the thematic and informational aspects of speech and writing above the utterance/ sentence level.
Sinclair and Coulthard (1975) and their model of description of spoken interaction in school classroom is grounded on a revelation of a structural hierarchy
The field of 'conversational analysis' is in line with this development where the emphasis is not on structure but on the behaviour of participants in talks and on patterns recurring within a wide range of natural data as basic units to be studied within the field.
W. Labov's (1970and 1972) studies are major contributions.
Van Dijk (1972, 1981) sets out an analytic approach to discourse which has its origins in attempts to produce a 'text grammar'. He makes a distinction between 'macrostructures' and 'superstructures' and argues that "the semantic presentation of discourse is its macrostructures"
