Empirical Methods in Discourse Analysis and the Internet

  • Discourse analysis has greatly relied on the tried and tested methods of data collection as well as on the use of traditional corpora. The question therefore arises as to how far the Internet has changed methodology in discourse analysis and to what degree it will do so in the future. A further issue that results from the possibilities the Web offers is whether traditional corpora will still be necessary to thoroughly investigate the structure and functioning of language and discourse, with regard to both native and non-native speech. In this paper the opportunities the Internet offers, the availability of tools to the researcher in using the Internet in DA but also the limits and dangers the linguist is prone to encounter will be investigated. And finally it will be discussed whether traditional empirical methods will still play any role in discourse analysis in future.
