discourse analysis
Features of Online Discourse
Halliday & Hasan (1989) provide a useful approach derived from the field of discourse analysis that can contribute to understand the context of situation in which a text shall function. Their simple conceptual framework of three headings serves “to interpret the social context of a text, the environment in which meanings are being exchanged” ( Halliday & Hasan 1989, p 12). I consider knowing this environment as essential for the creation of Web texts in general.

That is, I have studied the relationship between the language (Web texts) and the context in which it is used (i.e. e-commerce), following McCarthy’s (1991) definition of discourse analysis.
