面對新的互動領(lǐng)域、新技術(shù)和新的全球文化，人類交流的機制和環(huán)境正在迅速變化。當(dāng)代的話語形式往往涉及到與大量技術(shù)的互動和通過技術(shù)的互動。這些機制和語境為語篇分析提供了新的研究對象和新的工具。話語、語境和媒介是一本專門探索當(dāng)代話語工作的國際期刊。它提供了一個創(chuàng)新的論壇，介紹了各種形式的話語理論、數(shù)據(jù)和方法的研究——從詳細的語言或互動分析到更廣泛的代表、知識和意識形態(tài)研究。期刊公開尋求經(jīng)驗的貢獻，以及論述話語研究中理論和方法論辯論的論文。這類方法包括但不限于：對話分析；民族方法學(xué)；話語心理學(xué)；批判性話語分析；社會語言學(xué)。期刊試圖探索數(shù)字媒體為話語學(xué)者提供的挑戰(zhàn)和機遇。這種媒體為分析新形式的數(shù)據(jù)提供了機會，允許對現(xiàn)有理論進行重新思考，并鼓勵開發(fā)新的交互模型。話語、語境和媒體尤其對利用創(chuàng)新方法和媒體進行數(shù)據(jù)分析和呈現(xiàn)的貢獻感興趣。

The mechanisms and contexts of human communication are rapidly changing in the face of new domains of interaction, new technologies, and new global cultures. Contemporary forms of discourse often involve interaction with and through a plethora of technologies. These mechanisms and contexts provide both new artefacts of study and new tools for discourse analysts.Discourse, Context & Media is an international journal dedicated to exploring the full range of contemporary discourse work. It provides an innovative forum to present research that addresses all forms of discourse theory, data and methods - from detailed linguistic or interactional analyses to wider studies of representation, knowledge and ideology.The journal overtly seeks empirical contributions as well as papers that address the theoretical and methodological debates within discourse studies. Such approaches include, but are not limited to: conversation analysis; ethnomethodology; discursive psychology; critical discourse analysis; and sociolinguistics. The journal seeks to explore the challenges and opportunities provided to discourse scholars by digital media. Such media provide opportunities for new forms of data to be analysed, allow rethinking of existing theories and encourage the development of new models of interaction. Discourse, Context & Media is especially interested in contributions that make use of innovative methods and media for the analysis and presentation of data.
