L’état de la recherche en analyse du discours dans les écrits universitaires en Europe

Abstract

Since the emergence of discourse analysis, anything that is produced orally is called discourse. Today, this situation has changed since the notion of discourse covers both oral production as writing. Moreover, researchers are contradictory in terms of polysemy, instability and the complexity of the term and the degree of use in academic writings. This article deals with the state of discourse analysis research in the academic literature in universities in Europe. Among doctoral theses published online, we were able to identify the high quality of the writings of the majority of theses and the different requirements that European universities, specifically British universities have about their students to position themselves as the best at the world level.
