《話語過程》是一份多學科期刊，為不同學科的觀點提供了一個交流的平臺，這些觀點在語篇理解和回憶、對話分析、文本語法構建、自然語言的計算機模擬、交際能力的跨文化比較或相關主題方面有著共同的興趣。多重語境所帶來的問題，以及研究這些問題所需要的方法，雖然并不總是話語所獨有的，但卻有足夠的區別，因此需要一種有組織的科學互動模式，而這種模式是通過期刊得以實現的。該雜志接受原創的實驗或理論論文，大大提高了對話語結構和功能的理解。邀請心理學、心理語言學、社會語言學、語篇心理學、語篇語言學、話語心理學、民族方法論、會話分析、教育學、語言哲學、計算機科學及相關子領域的學者參與。研究復雜話語過程的新方法需要新的數據和分析方法。電子版本的話語過程允許訪問多媒體(視頻和/或音頻)內容，當它適當地增強了特定片段的表示。同行評審政策:提交給本刊的稿件經過編輯篩選和匿名評審。

Discourse Processes is a multidisciplinary journal providing a forum for cross-fertilization of ideas from diverse disciplines sharing a common interest in discourse--prose comprehension and recall, dialogue analysis, text grammar construction, computer simulation of natural language, cross-cultural comparisons of communicative competence, or related topics. The problems posed by multisentence contexts and the methods required to investigate them, although not always unique to discourse, are sufficiently distinct so as to require an organized mode of scientific interaction made possible through the journal.The journal accepts original experimental or theoretical papers that substantially advance understanding of the structure and function of discourse. Scholars working in the discourse areas from the perspective of psychology, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, discourse psychology, text linguistics, discursive psychology, ethnomethodology, conversation analysis, education, philosophy of language, computer science, and related subareas are invited to contribute.New ways of studying discourse processes in their full complexity can require new ways of presenting data and analyses. The electronic version of Discourse Processes allows access to multimedia (video and/or audio) content when it appropriately augments the presentation of a particular piece.Peer Review Policy: Manuscripts submitted to this journal undergo editorial screening and peer review by anonymous reviewers.
