Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Discourse analysis approaches major sets (corpora) of primarily mass-media texts with the aim to reconstruct the 'collective knowledge' of a given community of communicating actors from trans-textual structures, patterns and recurrences. It draws on Michel Foucault's discourse theory, which has been adapted for linguistics in the 1990's and since then became the basis of empirically oriented studies of language and communication. This course introduces the basics, theories and methods of this form of "trans-textual analysis of language and media". Moreover, we are going to do some exemplary analysis of recent media discourse (with a focus is on recent political issues).
