Aims & Scope

Discours is an international and interdisciplinary electronic journal with double-blind peer review that publishes two issues per year in open access. It is a forum for exchange and confrontation of data, analyses and theories for the community of linguists, psycholinguists and computer scientists working more generally on the description, understanding, formalization and computational processing of text organization. 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.
