Aims & Scope

Discours is an international and interdisciplinary electronic journal with double-blind peer review that publishes two issues per year in open access.

The journal's editorial line focuses on the following themes: discourse structuring and discourse markers, discourse relations, coherence, cohesion, linearization, indexing, informational structure, word order, cognitive processes involved in text comprehension and production, and other related themes.
