What is "discourse analysis"?
Discourse analysis is the study of language use in context, focusing on how communication functions in spoken and written texts. This field examines the structure and organization of discourse, including how conversations are managed, how meaning is constructed, and how social relationships are expressed through language. Discourse analysts investigate various forms of communication, such as conversations, narratives, and media texts, to understand the social and cultural factors that influence language use. This research helps to reveal the ways in which language shapes and is shaped by social interactions and contexts.
