Course Syllabus

Abstract

This course provides an introduction to discourse analysis, the study of language in use. It offers an overview of some of the major approaches to studying oral and written texts. Students will have the opportunity to try out different methods for the analysis of discourse using different theoretical perspectives and methodologies. We will examine and practice various analytic perspectives, including conversation analysis, critical discourse analysis, narrative, pragmatics/speech act theory, sociocultural theory, and interactional sociolinguistics. We will also work with theoretical and empirical literature on discourse analysis through required readings (and through preparing and leading a presentation based on the chosen literature). Finally, we will develop and propose projects using discourse analytic methods which will, in its turn, contribute to the theses and\or suit the academic interests of students.
