What is "discourse"?

Discourse refers to a structured and coherent way of communicating ideas through spoken or written language. It encompasses various forms of communication, such as conversations, speeches, essays, and discussions, focusing on how language is used to convey meaning within specific contexts. Discourse examines the organization of language, the relationships between speakers or writers and their audience, and the social and cultural factors that influence communication. For example, a political speech may utilize persuasive discourse techniques to inspire and motivate an audience. Understanding discourse is crucial for analyzing how language shapes thoughts, beliefs, and social interactions.
