Motivated by linguistic terminology <strong>and</strong>theory ( formal logic, structuralism, transformational grammar) it is usedsynonymously with text analysis, with a particular interest in wellformedness (coherence, cohesion) <strong>and</strong> deductive rules (e.g. rules for speech acts ). While in thisstr<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> research, texts are mainly taken to be static products (discourse grammar, textlinguistics), there is another str<strong>and</strong> influenced by functional grammar,psycholinguistics, <strong>and</strong> approaches to cognitive science that emphasizes the dynamiccharacter <strong>of</strong> discourse as construction <strong>and</strong> interpretation processes by the speaker/writer<strong>and</strong> the listener/ reader (see Brown <strong>and</strong> Yule 1983). According to Van Dijk (1985),discourse analysis has become a new cross-disciplinary field <strong>of</strong> analysis since the early1970s. It is <strong>of</strong> interest to disciplines such as anthropology <strong>and</strong> sociolinguistics(ethnography <strong>of</strong> speaking), artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy <strong>of</strong>language (speech act theory), psycholinguistics, sociology <strong>of</strong> language (conversationanalysis), rhetoric (style), <strong>and</strong> text linguistics.
