Keywords:
discourse; discourse analysis; critical discourse analysis; sociocognitive approach; text linguistics; multimodality; digital communicationAbstract
This article examines the historical development and evolution of the concept of discourse within the field of linguistics. It traces the term's origins from classical rhetoric through structuralism and post-structuralism to contemporary discourse analysis. By integrating definitions from authoritative dictionaries and insights from key linguistic theorists, the study highlights the dynamic nature of discourse as both a linguistic and social construct.
