Foucault hascreated a broad impact on different disciplines fields which beyond of the limits ofphilosophy, suchassociology, li t e r a t u r e, p s y c h o l o g y,linguistics,political science and so on. From the late of the1980’s to the ealy of the1990’s,the thought of Foucault has been introduced to China and been heated up inseveral acdemic fields up to now. The preveiling of discourse analysis incommunication field just showed the influece of Foucault. Discourse analysisincludes a series of different methods and Foucault’s Discourse thought is the oneof important original theory which make significance to anaylising the socialdiscourse praticse within macroscopic vision. otherwise the development ofdifferent mothods of discourse analysis is imblance. Writer views the philosophyCopernicus Revolution of Linguistic Turn which has had a far-reaching infulenceon social siences,the source of discourse analysis can trace back to Analyticphilosophy and Continental Philosophy which are the common bases of thedifferent discourse analysis mothods. We will find that most methods popoular incommunication fields originate from Analytic philosophy,at the other side,theimpact of Continental Philosophy is less more.Especially, Lacking of originality inmethods limits the acdamic perspective as most ones which influnced byContinental Philosophy are absorded from lingustic fields.
