Linguistics has traditionally concentrated on studying single
sentences or isolated speech acts. In this book Michael Stubbs
explores one of the most promising new directions in contemporary
linguistics--the study of many sentences and how they fit together
to form discourse. Using many examples drawn from recorded
conversations, fieldwork observations, experimental data, and
written texts, he discusses such questions as how far discourse
structure is comparable to sentence structure; whether it is
possible to talk of "well formed" discourse as one does of
"grammatical" sentences; and whether the relation between question
and answer in conversation is syntactic, semantic, or pragmatic.
