Abstract

This paper discusses two main approaches to discourse analysis, namely the cognitive psychological approach and the sociolinguistic approach. For the first orientation in the study of discourse, research based on Kaplan's hypothesis has been drawn upon to show that, for second language study, discourse analysis based purely on textual analysis is not adequate. An approach more relevant to second language learning and teaching is to conduct research based on the sociocultural perspective. Issues such as sociocultural conventions of language use and nativization are discussed to substantiate this assertion.
