<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%">Among its
collection of journals in the fields of the studies of communication and
discourse, Sage, Ltd. (<ST1:CITY w:st="on"><ST1:PLACE
w:st="on">London</ST1:PLACE></ST1:CITY>) will publish a new journal as from 2007
that covers the field between these two disciplines: <FONT
color=#660000><I>Discourse & Communication.</I></FONT><O:P></O:P></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%">The new
journal, edited by veteran journal editor Teun A. van Dijk (Pompeu Fabra
University, Barcelona), assisted by an international board of prominent experts
in discourse analysis and communication studies, aims to publish high quality
papers that pay specific attention to the qualitative, discourse analytical
approach to issues in communication research. Besides the classical social
scientific methods in communication research, such a content analysis and frame
analysis, a more explicit study of the structures of discourse (text, talk,
images or multimedia messages) allows unprecedented empirical insights into the
many phenomena of communication. And since contemporary discourse study is not
limited to the account of ‘texts’ or ‘conversation’ alone, but has extended its
field to the study of the cognitive, societal, cultural, political and
historical ‘contexts’ of discourse, it is also able to be integrated in the
broader study of these broader dimensions of communication.

will publish substantial research papers, discussion notes as well as reviews
and review articles by women and men from many countries and cultures. Its
diversity will also be apparent in the variety of its theories, methods and
approaches, thus avoiding the frequent limitation to one school, approach or
academic sect. The only criterion will be the quality, the originality and the
analytical sophistication of its articles. Moreover, the style of its
contributions will avoid unnecessary jargon, and thus make the journal eminently
accessible to scholars and students from many disciplines.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></P>
