PART A
1.what is discourse analysis ?
Discourse analysis (DA), or discourse studies,
is a general term for a number of approaches to analyze written, vocal, or sign
language use, or any significant semiotic event.
Discourse
analysis is sometimes defined as the analysis of language 'beyond the
sentence'. This contrasts with types of analysis more typical of modern
linguistics, which are chiefly concerned with the study of grammar: the study
of smaller bits of language, such as sounds (phonetics and phonology), parts of
words (morphology), meaning (semantics), and the order of words in sentences
(syntax). Discourse analysts study larger chunks of language as they flow
together.
Discourse analysis is a broad term
for the study of the ways in which language is used in texts
and contexts. Also called discourse studies.

PART B
1.Discourse
Discourse is a conceptual generalization of conversation
within each modality and context of communication.
Discourse refers to how we think and communicate about
people, things, the social organization of society, and the relationships among
and between all three. Discourse typically emerges out of social institutions like media and politics (among others), and by
virtue of giving structure and order to language and thought, it structures and
orders our lives, relationships with others, and society.
2.Discursive
psychology
Discursive psychology (DP) is a form of discourse analysis that focuses on psychological
themes in talk, text and images.
Discursive psychology begins with
psychological matters as they arise for people as they live their lives. It
studies how psychological issues and objects are constructed, understood and
displayed as people interact in both everyday and institutional situations?c.
[It focuses] on matters that are 'psychological' for people as they act and
interact in particular settings—in families, in workplaces, in schools and so
on.
3.Discursive practice
Discursive practice addresses the processes by which
cultural meanings are produced and understood. This approach offers a
distinctive perspective on linguistic anthropology as well as cultural
anthropology as a whole. It subsumes, but extends well beyond, the traditional
field of linguistic anthropology and is central to contemporary cultural
anthropology, especially its concern with ethnographic methods.
