About some problems of the discourse analysis.

Abstract

The article is about some problems of the theory of a discourse, including: about differentiation of the concepts "text" and "discourse", about the linguistic nature of the term "discourse", about essence of the discourse analysis, etc. that is connected with diversity of this phenomenon and complexity of delimitation of the subject sphere of discourse analysis. In the article the short digression to history of formation of the discourse analysis takes place. Tendencies in semiotics researches of foreign linguistics and Russian philology are considered. It is known that the tendency to the actual equating of complex language structures to the verbal sign, expressing the relation to the language only as to sign system (a traditional position), from linguists is exposed to criticism. It is obvious that modeling (generation, synthesis) of discourse and modeling of understanding’s processes of a discourse – nonidentical processes.
