Discourse Analysis: how and why should I do it?

NWSSDTP

Discourse Analysis: how and why should I do it?Alexandra Krendel (Lancaster University)In this session, I showcase several methods currently used to analyse discourse. Discourse is defined as language above the level of the sentence. A discourse analysis approach is a qualitative one, which takes into account both the specific linguistic features of interest in a given text, as well as the context in which texts are created. I also discuss discourse analysis which is undertaken from a ‘critical’ perspective, and thus focuses on how ideology and power relations are expressed through language. I then demonstrate that discourse analysis methods can be applied in a wide range of contexts which may be of interest to social science scholars. These include conversations, political discourse, the language of the news, healthcare, business, as well as online contexts.You will be sent the Zoom link and password after registration.This is part of the Methods North West Methods Sessions 2021.
