Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Students on this course will explore different ways of analysing language in use and in context. After a general introduction to different understandings of discourse, we will look at the 'building blocks' of discourse analysis, in other words the theories and methods underlying different approaches to discourse (e.g. pragmatics, conversation analysis, critical discourse analysis, etc.).
Assessment and permitted materials
Class and e-learning participation; presentations; written coursework assignments (a project outline, a proseminar paper).
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
At the end of the course, students should:
- Be familiar with key theoretical concepts and relevant methods of discourse analysis
- Have read and discussed various studies in the subject area
- Be able to apply this knowledge to further study in various areas of linguistics
- Be familiar with key theoretical concepts and relevant methods of discourse analysis
- Have read and discussed various studies in the subject area
- Be able to apply this knowledge to further study in various areas of linguistics
Examination topics
A typical class will consist of an introduction to a topic by the lecturer and of small-group discussions of texts students have been asked to read in advance. Most classes will also include some practical tasks (e.g. text analysis) followed by group discussion. Students will be expected to prepare for each class, and may be asked to give a brief informal presentation about something they have read or about a task they have completed.
