Discourse analysis

Koller, Veronika (2021) Discourse analysis. Massolit.

Abstract

In this course, Professor Veronika Koller (Lancaster University) provides an introduction to discourse analysis. In the first module, we introduce the concept of discourse, before turning in the second module to think about the concept of critical discourse studies. In the three modules after that, we apply critical discourse studies to three particular types of discourse: workplace discourse, political discourse, and discourse relating to gender identity. In the sixth and final module, we think about some new approaches to discourse analysis, including corpus-assisted discourse studies and positive discourse analysis.
