| Abstract | The status of text/discourse research in South Africa is analyzed. The discussion begins with some background information on the nature of discourse research, and proceeds to an overview of the whole field of discourse research in that country and then a look at research on Afrikaans discourse. Both general trends and specific areas of research focus are examined. It is suggested that textual research has been somewhat hit-and-miss, but that a significant area of study has been of the "standards of textuality": i.e., cohesion, coherence, intentionality/acceptability of text, the way in which sentence elements are used to carry communicative values, contextual qualities, and relationships between texts. It is further noted that some of that available research has not been intended to focus on discourse, but has done so in the course of studying a specific text. It is concluded that while some Afrikaans discourse research has been undertaken, much more is needed. Contains 191 references. (MSE) |
