Discourse analysis as hermeneutic
retrospective appraisal of discourse analysis (traditional)
An agenda for research
prospective appraisal of discourse analysis (not-so traditional)
2. Preliminary definitions
Discourse analysis is one of the least well defined areas of linguistics.
Idiosyncratic models and terminological confusion proliferate as more linguists, as well as nonlinguists, adopt discourse analysis as a theoretical framework to read texts.
The expansive scope of this linguistic theory has led to a diversity of opinion.
Discourse analysis is a way of reading.
It is a framework with which the analyst approaches a text and explicates what it says and how it has been said in addition to what has been understood and how it has been understood.
It may be classified under the rubric of hermeneutics.
Consequently it has marginally influenced Biblical scholarship (more so translation theory), where there is very little collaboration on what discourse analysis is and might do.
Terminological consistency and collaboration in the midst of creative thinking are needed if discourse analysis is to have a significant impact on NT hermeneutics.
The following study is an attempt at defining terminology and suggesting new, mostly unstudied ways in which discourse analysis may be applied to NT scholarship.
Discourse analysis takes seriously the role of the speaker, the text and the listener in the communicative event.
Discourse is probably best treated as whatever language users decide, or “texts are what hearers and readers treat as texts.”
The term ‘discourse’ refers to (1) the linguistic units surrounding a sentence (cotext), (2) the immediate situation (context of situation), and (3) the wider cultural background of the text (context of culture).
