Summary/Abstract: This study attempts to offer a new perspective on the discursive, semantic and pragmatic analysis of the business letter. This perspective is based on the van Dijk’s theory of episodes as units of discourse analysis, Vilar Sánchez’s theory about the microfunctional composition of a text and Vergaro’s approachto the business letter seen as macrotext and microtext. We conclude that this perspective can be useful both for theoretical studies and the didactics of this field.
