BRANCH OF DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

1.    Media discourse refers to interactions that take place through a broadcast plat form,whether spoken  or written, in which the discourse is oriented to a non-present reader,listener or viewer. Though the discourse is oriented towards these  recipients, they very often cannot make Instantaneous responses to the producer(s)  of the discourse, though increasingly this is changing with the advent of new  media technology, as we  shall explore. Crucially, the written or spoken discourse itself is oriented to there a dership or listening/viewing audience, respectively. In other words, media discourse is a public, manufactured, on-record, form of interaction. It is not ad hoc or spontaneous (in the same way as casual speaking or writing is); it is neither private nor off the record. Obvious as these basic  characteristics may sound,nthey are crucial to the investigation, description and understanding of media discourse.

2.      Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a branch of linguistics that seeks to understand how and why certain texts affect readers and hearers. Through the analysis of grammar, it aims to uncover the 'hidden ideologies' that can influence a reader or hearer's view of the world. Analysts have looked at a wide variety of spoken and written texts – political manifestos, advertising, rules and regulations – in an attempt to demonstrate how text producers use language (wittingly or not) in a way that could be ideologically significant.

3.      Discourse in social  In the late 1960-s significant shifts occurred in the conceptualisation of how meanings are constructed through the social use of language. The models developed as the result of this shift have the notion of discourse as their central category. Their common feature is the definition of discourse as a form of social practice. The new angle on the view of discourse challenged the structuralist concept of “language” as an abstract system (Saussure’s langue) and emphasized the process of making and using meanings within particular historical, social, and political conditions. At this level, then, the term discourse is employed to explain the conditions of language use within the social relations that structure them

Discourse Analysis

                      DEFINITION OF DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

Assalamu’alaykum wr.wb...

        How are you All my friends on the blog's..I hope you'r very good and keep enjoy with the all activties in everyday...well our meet again at the blogger with the same face but different topic...this opportunity I wanna explanation about Discourse Analysis..yahh the interesting topic.. ^_^

1. In linguistics, discourse refers to a unit of languange longer than a single sentence.

2.  More broadly, discourse is the use of spoken or written language in a social context.

3. Discourse is the way in which language is used socially to convey broad historical meanings. It is language identified by the social conditions of its use, by who is using it and under what conditions. Language can never be 'neutral' because it bridges our personal and social worlds.

4. Analysis is The process of separating something into its constituent elements.‘the procedure is often more accurately described as one of synthesis rather than analysis’Often contrasted with synthesis 

5. Analysis is The identification and measurement of the chemical constituents of a substance or specimen.‘samples are sent to the laboratory for analysis’[count noun] ‘analyses of the rocks are consistent with a basaltic composition’

6. Discourse analysis do what people in their everyday experience of language do instinctively and largely unconsciously: notice patterning of language in use and the circumstances (participants, situations, purposes, outcomes) with which these are typically associated.

7. Discourse Analysis much of the work, but not by any means all. A great deal of discourse analysis is done by linguists who would not call themselves applied and much by scholars in other disciplines – sociology, psychology, psychotherapy, for example : who would not call themselves linguists. Discourse analysis part of applied linguistics but does not belong exclusively to it; it is a multi -disciplinary field, and hugely diverse in the range of its interests.

8. Discourse analysis For many the interest in discourse is beyond language in use (Jaworski & Coupland, 1999, p. 3) to “language use relative to social, political and cultural formations.language reflecting social order but also language shaping social order, and shaping individuals’ interaction with society.

9. Discourse analysis Jaworski and Coupland (1999, pp. 3–6) explain why so many areas of academic study have become so gripped by enthusiasm for discourse analysis in terms, firstly, of a shift in epistemology, “a falling off of intellectual security in what we know and what it means to know.The question of  how we build knowledge has come to the fore, and this is where issues to do with language and linguistic representation come into focus.

10. Discourse analysis figures prominently in areas of applied linguistics related to language and education. These include both language as a means of education and language as a goal of education, and both first language education and second language education.

11.Discourse is generally used to designate the form of representation, codes, convention and habits of languange that produce specific field of culturally and historically located meaning.

12.discourse (from Latin discourse, "running to and from") denotes written and spoken communications such as : 

- In semantic and discourse analysis

-the totality of codified languange (vocabulary)used in a given field of intelectual enquiry and of social practice 

13. Discourse is a body of text meant to communicate specific data, information and knowledge 

14.Discourse analysis do what people in their everyday experience of language do instinctively and largely unconsciously: notice patternings of language in use and the circumstances (participants, situations, purposes, outcomes) with which these are typically associated.

15. Discourse analysis figures prominently in areas of applied linguistics related to language and education
