What is discourse linguistics?

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the premises of discourse linguistics as a research program that draws on the broadly defined changes in the humanities. Discourse linguistics studies the discursively shaped relations between the use of language, collective belief systems, knowledge selection processes, and culture; it also asks how linguistic perspectivising creates socially shared meanings, thus modelling specific views of reality. I assume that discourse linguistics becomes an integrative and designing discipline. It integrates different theoretical, methodological and methodical perspectives in designing its research subject, cognitive objective and research procedure.
