Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Discourse Analysis, sometimes also referred to as Discourse Studies, comprises multiple fields of linguistic enquiry, methodologies and empirical approaches. These range from strongly quantitative corpus-driven and corpus-based studies (Corpus Linguistics) to highly qualitative and theoretically engages studies (Critical Discourse Analysis). While this heterogeneity has been criticized as a lack of coherence, as eclecticism or even as arbitrary, it has also inspired innovative and productive approaches - particularly in the combination of different methods (i.e. methodological triangulation). This course will engage with the heterogenous "toolbox of discourse analysis" (Foucault) and related critical debates, covering both well-established and recent approaches to analysing discourse.

In this course, students gain:
- an understanding of the theoretical foundations of discourse analysis and related debates,
- an awareness of the methodological diversity in discourse analysis,
- an understanding of several key methods and approaches, including their strengths and weaknesses,
- an insight into what it means to work empirically, i.e. to design a discourse study, collect data and analyse it,
- an understanding of methodological triangulation as research strategy.
