Week 2: Approaches to DA
Discourse analysis is a modern discipline that has inherited lots of attributes from text analysis. So broad is the range of texts and so different the perspectives under which these texts can be analyzed that we can easily understand the different fields that discourse analysis as a whole can cover. There are some approaches to discourse analysis, such as Speech Act Theory, Interactional Sociolinguistics, Ethnography of Communication, Pragmatics, Conversational Analysis, Variation Analysis, etc.This section gives an overview of various modes and approaches to discourse analysis.
