The Gradual Articulation of Sequences in Discourse

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to briefly and schematically describe the sequence theory proposed by linguist Jean-Michel Adam. This theory undoubtedly contributes to the fundamental ambition of discourse analysis to understand the mechanisms by which texts produce meaning and act upon their recipients, across a plurality of contexts and everyday practices. We will consider an individual approach to the five types of sequences found in discourse and will provide a few specific examples to illustrate and support the relevance and validity of Adam’s theory.
