Dialog tekstów naukowych w perspektywie socjologii

This article is devoted to sociological reflection on the dialogue of scientific texts. It takes place by referring to some phenomena and theories widely discussed on the ground of sociology, which show the social character of intertextual references. The article provides arguments for the hypo- thesis that intertextual dialogue is a common activity that usually turns into a sequence of social activities. A sociological view of the issue of dialogue between authors of scientific texts leads to the conclusion that in the interaction that is being established there is a process of exchange connected with creating the image of the author in the academic environment. An equally important issue addressed in this publication is the normative regulation of interaction in intertextual dialogue.
