The Fundamental Issues of Discourse Studies and a Diachronic Study of Chinese Discourse Cohesion
The discourse is the result of speech acts carried out by the communicators with the help of linguis-tic and non-linguistic factors,which is not only the largest language unit composed of morphemes,words,phrases,and sentences,but also the most"complex"language unit generated by the subject,context,logic,and rhetoric.Therefore,the discourse studies is not a pure subcategory of linguistics,but a comprehensive rhetorical discipline."Cohesion",the core concept of discourse studies,runs through the whole Chinese rhetoric history and constitutes the concept of discourse cohesion with Chinese characteristics.The future trend of discourse studies must be to in-herit the traditional achievements,and absorb the new knowledge from abroad,so as to establish a scientific dis-course system.
