담화/담론연구의 이론적 토대 탐색: 학제간/통합적 연구방법론으로 확장하며

초록

This study is intended to investigate theoretical foundations of discourse analysis as an interdisciplinary research methodology in the eye of a (critical) applied linguistics. It focuses on the status as a research methodology, rather than just one of the methods to analyze qualitative data. The historically categorized foundations will be discussed on different approaches to discourse studies: formal, functional, social. The four major research perspectives, elaborated with empirical studies of mostly applied linguistics and language education in Korea, will then be divided into (1) critical discourse analysis, (2) critical linguistic analysis, (3) social linguistic analysis, (4) interpretive structuralism. The strengths as well as the limitations of discourse analysis (methodology) will also be discussed. This article will conclude with some suggestions for future directions of methodological development. It is expected that this study fills the gap between linguistics and social approaches to discourse analysis, by providing a systematic frame for embracing a strong social constructivist view of social world.
