French theories on text and discourse
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch French theories on text and discourse

Abstract

The article traces the history of Scandinavian text linguistics as it evolved over a 40year period, together with its didactic application in teaching French as a foreign language. Different structural and procedural approaches will be presented, to arrive at a model focusing more particularly on learning to read academic texts in French. At the same time, the author will show how analyzing and understanding texts does not stop with linguistics and the text itself, but links up naturally with cognitive and cultural aspects. This is illustrated by a systematic comparison of Danish and French, belonging to Germanic and Romance languages respectively; a comparison that reveals interesting differences in the way the Danish and French think and make texts. It also demonstrates the capacity of text linguistics to face fresh demands in the area of foreign language teaching, while at the same time clarifying the relationship between language, text, cognition, culture, and society.
