</b><font face="Times New Roman, Times">This volume is a collection of
papers based on the presentations given at the NordText Conference that
was held at the University of Oslo in January 2000. The papers focus on
recent methodological developments within text linguistics and discourse
analysis - mainly as reflected in the Nordic countries. Some of the
papers discuss important text-linguistic and discourse-theoretical issues
such as the widening scope of the discourse concept, the semantic
constraints of discourse connectives, and central terms such as<i>
discourse communities</i>,<i> parallel texts, superstructure</i> and<i>
polyphony</i>. Others deal with the empirical application of
discourse-analytical methods - some of them multidisciplinary - in the
study of for instance multimodal discourse, media discourse,
subject-oriented prose, school texts and writing skills, discourse in
professional settings, simultaneous interpretation, genre variation and
evolution, as well as contrastive issues and quantitative text
patterns.</font><br>
