Each man must do that himself, each man must prepare himself mentally ... to make that jump. In the back of your mind, you wonder what's gonna happen. You know you've been trained and trained ... and what your job is and what you're supposed to do. That's what you gotta think about.  \nWe lost a lot of people that night, but you try to put it all out of your mind (US Army 101stAirborne Division, WWII Survivor) .  \nAbstract  \nContent analysis is a qualitative research method that analyses the content of conversations and other types of text according to principles of categorisation. During content analysis researchers usually pragmatically derive categories from the topic that forms the focus of their research. Similarly, thinkers and communicators choose categories pragmatically, based on the context provided by the scenario that is being thought about or described. Due to the pragmatic basis of content analysis as well as communication, such categories are often context-specific and transient. Categories therefore remain the black box of content analysis and the analysis of ongoing communication interactions. In order to clarify the role of categories during research, including in content analysis, I briefly explain what the term ‘categorisation ’ means. Thereafter I propose an interdisciplinary model in which speech acts form a robust framework to analyse the contents of different types of communication – nonverbal  \nAlternation Special Edition 5 (2012) 288-313 288  \nISSN 1023-1757  \nA Framework for Integrating Cognition, Speech Acts and Communication  \ncommunication, interpersonal verbal and written communication, and intrapersonal communication – used by humans during cooperative, competitive and confrontational forms of communication.  \nKeywords: Basic level categories, categorisation, categorise, cline, cognition, cooperative communication, competitive communication, confrontational communication, content analysis, continuum, intercultural communication, intrapersonal communication, interpersonal communication, metacognition, prototypes, subordinate level categories, superordinate level categories.  \nProblematic Trends that Prompted the Writing of this Paper  \nWhile serving as external examiner for South African postgraduate theses, and as a peer reviewer for several scholarly journals that report quantitative research results, based on statistical analysis, I have over time come to the uneasy conclusion that many local novice researchers do not relate the realworld phenomena that they are studying to the statistics that they are reporting, that the under-interpretation of results and failure to explain why particular statistical results are reported, prevent descriptive and inferential statistics to function as lenses that bring into clearer focus underlying trends in the communities studied.  \nFor qualitative research the situation is even more worrisome. Searches of the NRF’s Nexus database, using the search term ‘qualitative research’ on its own, as well as a combination of the search terms ‘qualitative research’, ‘dissertations ’ and ‘theses ’, reveal that seemingly no qualitative research theses and dissertations have recently been registered with the NRF, South Africa’s primary research promotion agency, by local university research offices on behalf of postgraduate students.  \nA search of the Science Direct global research database shows that seasoned South African researchers are publishing qualitative research results in diverse disciplines like Public Relations Management (Steyn et al. 2004), Ethnopharmacology (Semenya & Maroyi 2012), Pharmacology (Pennet al. 2011) and Marine Biology (Moseley et al. 2012) .
