Abstract
In this article the author develops a multi-perspective and poly-methodical model for discourse analysis and tests it by analysing data generated through focus-group discussions on Muslim–Christian relations in Tanzania and Indonesia. By doing so, he aims to demonstrate the use and usefulness of sociocognitive discourse analysis in religious studies. First he outlines and refines an approach to discourse analysis based on Norman Fairclough. Next he describes how he uses this approach in his fieldwork, focusing on discourses on Muslim extremists in Tanzania and Indonesia. Finally he concludes that the prospects of sociocognitive discourse analysis look promising and discusses some controversial issues that yet have to be resolved.
