    Summary note
    "This handbook is intended as a cognitively oriented yet comprehensive overview of the multidisciplinary area known as discourse studies. The field of discourse processes is currently fuelled by seven dominant approaches: discourse psychology, corpus analysis, computational discourse, discourse technologies, conversation analysis, hybrid qualitative and quantitative approaches, and cultural foundations. Most of these approaches are hybrids of two or more disciplines. The authors' hope is that the field will become more interdisciplinary instead of multidisciplinary, and they ultimately argue that discourse processing research will become progressively more sophisticated to the extent that it shifts from being multidisciplinary to interdisciplinary. This shift requires developing an appreciation for multiple methods of establishing rigorous scientific claims which are discussed in this handbook. The authors also discuss future trends in this field of research including the integration of neuroscience with discourse research, the use of more advanced computer technologies for analysing discourse, and a more pronounced shift from multidisciplinary to interdisciplinary research." -- WEBSITE.
