Dialoganalyse V

The 52 articles contained in this volume were presented as papers at the Fourth Working Session on Dialogue Analysis in Paris in March 1994. The four sections reflect the usual broad range of concerns, approaches and methodologies. "General and Structural Aspects - Theory and Methodology" and "Case Studies and Sample Descriptions" provide scope for a wide range of topics, including questions pertaining to translation and media research. (It was thus possible to get by without a special Section on "Media and the Computer".) The Section "Dialogue in Literature" brings together linguistics and literary studies. As always the Section on "Social and Psychological Aspects - Language Defects" occupies an important position. In their totality the papers reflect the present state of dialogue analysis or an international plane and also document its status as a genuinely interdisciplinary and hence highly future-orientied area of research.
