Discourse Analysis
1.
Discourse
analysis as a research tool Discourse analysis is concerned with the
investigation of language as it is actually used as opposed to an abstract
system or structure of language (see Mills 1997 for a historicized account of
the term ‘discourse’)
2.
The
word ‘discourse’, then, in the sense of certain kinds of actual language use,
has a variety of meanings (see Mills 1997, esp. pp. 1-26),not least in its
relation to formal and informal language use
3.
Discourse
may refer to the spoken word only, or all utterances written and verbal, or a
particular way of talking delineating a specific domain with its own particular
vocabularies and sets of meaning such as 5 legal discourse, medical discourse,
scientific discourse; in other words, a ‘regulated practice which accounts for
a number of statements’ (Foucault 1972: 80)
4.
That
analysis of language in use has two aspects: the first relates to the language
itself that is used, and the second to the process of using language
5.
Discourse
analysis as a research tool in the study of migration and gender In discussing
the use of discourse analysis as a research tool in the study of migration and
gender, I have decided to utilize three articles published in the journal
Discourse and Society since these may be readily accessed by readers.
6.
Discourses
refers to “sets of ready-made and pre-constituted ‘experiencing’ displayed and
arranged primarily through language
7.
Discourse
is a way of representing aspects of world, processes, relations, and structures
of material world, mental world of thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and social
world
8.
a
group of statements which provide a language for talking about –a way of
representing– the knowledge about a particular topic at particular moment
9.
Discourse analysis does not presuppose a bias
towards the study of either spoken or written language
10. Discourse analysis is a hybrid field of enquiry. Its
"lender disciplines" are to be found within various corners of the
human and social sciences, with complex historical affiliations and a lot of
cross-fertilisation taking place
11.
Discourse analysis is a term which has no single stable
definition and is therefore useddifferently by different theorists. Schiffin, Tanner and Hamilton
point out that discourse analysis is characterised by ‘disciplinary diversity’ and that the tems ‘discourse’ and‘discourse analysis’ are ‘used
variously’ (2001, p.1). Scollon & Scollon concur that in‘current
usage, the term ‘discourse analysis’ is polysemic’ – it has many meanings
(p.538).
12.
Schiffin, Tanner & Hamilton suggest that particularly for linguists ‘discourse’ has‘generally been defined as
anything beyond the sentence’ (2000, p.1), whereas for others,such as Fasold (1990),
discourse analysis is ‘primarily a study of language use’. Wetherell,Taylor and Yates (2001:i)
describe discourse analysis as ‘the study of talk and texts’. Theyelaborate
13.
Taylor
(2001, p.5) sees ‘discourse analysis’ as ‘the close studyof
language in use’, though she points out that discourse analysis ‘is best
understood as afield
of research rather than as a single practice’ (2001, p.5)
14. This verb analyze comes
from the noun analysis. The noun analysis was
in turn borrowed from Greek, from analyein, or "to dissolve." If you go into
analysis, it means that you will be examined and helped by a mental health
professional — who will analyze your particular problems and help you find
solutions.
15. A careful study of something to learn
about its parts, what they do, and how they are related to each other.
And my conclusion is Discourse Analysis
is one of applied linguistics to evaluation a spoken or written to make us
answer some event or language with different asnwer or different pointview.
