ENGL 34600 - Discourse Analysis

Discourse analysis has been informed by several academic disciplines, including anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, literary theory, and sociology. Since there are many ways to define and analyze discourse, there exist multiple, and often conflicting, approaches to the study of language use. This course is an introduction to various methods of discourse analysis, which will be explored through critical reading and discussion, and through hands-on application of these methods on actual discourse data.
