Abstract

In social communication research done in Cuba, discourse analysis by means of what Jürgen Habermas calls "the paradigm of linguistics" has been conducted by a considerable number of researchers. This method always involves the determination of relations between texts and contexts, but Habermas considers the opposites and identifies another methodology, i.e., the "mentalist paradigm". Insistence on contrast leads into asking two questions whose answers ought to be able to legitimate how profitable a methodology aimed at humanism should become. Those two questions are: what methodological challenges and contributions are involved in discourse analysis for doctorate research? What requisites and crossroads can a discourse analyst stumble upon in a given context? The answers are research premises.
