Discourse Analysis

Abstract This article presents the basic assumptions of linguistic discourse analysis, particularly regarding how the constructivist understanding of language relieves interpretations of the contextual embedding of linguistic and discursive actions. The method is to focus on practices of machine analysis of discourse. The article analyzes contemporary research approaches (metaphor and frame semantics) combining both quantitative and qualitative approaches.
