Abstract

In France, discourse analysis is practiced in a number of institutional contexts. While most of the pioneering centers of the 1960s and 70s like Centre de recherche de lexicologie politique de l’Ecole Normale Superieure de St. Cloud (Maurice TOURNIER) and the group of the University of Paris 10 (Jean DUBOIS) no longer exist, new centers have been founded since the 1990s such as CEDITEC (1999), the CEDISCOR (1989), and the LASELDI (2000), which are presented in detail below. More centers have to be cited such as CAD (Centre d'analyse du discours), Paris 13, directed by Patrick CHARAUDEAU, which is specialized in communication studies, the tendencies around the psychoanalytically influenced linguist Jacqueline AUTHIER-REVUZ from the University of Paris 3, and the group GTAD (Groupe de travail en analyse du discours, directed by Isabelle LEGLISE and Francois LEIMDORFER) at MSH (Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, Paris), founded by Pierre ACHARD. Members of these various groups are involved in major French journals of discourse analysis such as Mots (e.g. CEDITEC), Semen (LASELDI), Langage et societe (e.g. GTAD). [1]
