Abstract
The article describes the methods of discourse-analysis adopted in modern linguistics. The discourse is the unity of two entities: the communication (dynamic process of linguistic interaction between people) and the text (i.e. the product of communication). This duality allows us to study discourse as a process and as an object. The article describes the research methods, such as: content-analysis, contextual-interpretive method, the method of dialogic text interpretation, the method of cognitive mapping, ethnographic method, etc.
