Abstract
This paper has three main aims: (1) it introduces – to a non-German readership – a specific branch of linguistic discourse analysis that has evolved in Germanic linguistics since the late 1980s – Diskurslinguistik (discourse linguistics), (2) it raises some methodical and methodological issues that are currently discussed within this discourse-linguistic branch and (3) it presents a model (called DIMEAN) that addresses these methodological issues. We hope to provide the reader with some impetus to a general methodological debate within linguistic discourse analysis that intensely re-reflects both its complex subject matter and the diverse approaches to this matter, i.e. to discourse.
