Being conscious of the fact that one can learn a great deal about any field by observing what its practitioners do, and precisely because these disciplines are hard to delimit, I also discuss what it is that pragmaticians and discourse analysts actually do. The concepts of text and discourse are explored by looking into different approaches and studies in the areas of Text Linguistics and Discourse Analysis, as well as into how they have evolved from their beginnings to the present time. The main schools of Pragmatics, the Anglo-American and the European Continental (Huang 2016) are also explored, in order to compare their viewpoints and their relationship with the field of discourse analysis. As I see it, Pragmatics is not the same as, but is an indispensable source for, discourse analysis: it would be impossible to analyze any discourse without having a solid basic knowledge of pragmatic phenomena and the ways in which they work and interact (Alba-Juez, 2009: 46). I also examine some concepts and issues that are crucial for the topic of this paper, such as the concepts of context , cognition or culture, and the need to develop pragmatic awareness.В данной статье автор детально описывает такие научные направления, как дискурс-анализ и прагматика, пытаясь решить сложную задачу - определить область исследования, а также выявить их сходства и различия, с тем чтобы дать общее представление об уровне развития обеих дисцсиплин в 21 веке. Ввиду того, что изучение трудов исследователей в любой научной отрасли является очень важным, в особенности, в том случае, когда научные направления трудно разграничить, автор также рассматривает конкретные работы ученых в сфере прагматики и дискурс-анализа. В статье описаны различные подходы к определению концептов «текст» и «дискурс» через анализ исследований в области лингвистики текста и дискурс-анализа. Кроме того, автор представляет ретроспективу развития данных понятий с момента их возникновения и до настоящего времени. Также описываются основные школы прагматики - Англо-американская и Континентально-европейская школы (Huang 2016) - и сопоставлются их идеи в области дискурс-анализа. В понимании автора прагматика отличается от дискурс-анализа, но в то же время является для него необходимым источником: не имея достаточных знаний прагматики и ее взаимосвязи с дискурс-анализом, невозможно анализировать дискурс (Alba-Juez, 2009:46). В статье также рассматриваются некоторые значимые для исследования понятия и вопросы, например контекст, сознание и культура , а также обозначена необходимость развития прагматической компетенции.pragmaticsdiscoursediscourse analysiscontextcognitioncultureпрагматикадискурсдискурс-анализконтекстсознаниекультура[Alba-Juez, Laura (2001 [1996]).
