Now  i will share  to you about Discoure analysis and what of the definition discourse,analysis and dicourse analysi
So,guys enjoy again for read and see my blog

The first i will share what is discourse?

(1) In linguistics, discourse refers to a unit of language longer than a single sentence.
(2) More broadly, discourse is the use of spoken or written language in a social context.
(3)Discourse studies, says Jan Renkema, refers to "the discipline devoted to the investigation of the relationship between form and function in verbal communication" (Introduction to Discourse Studies, 2004). Dutch linguist Teun van Dijk, author of The Handbook of Discourse Analysis (1985) and the founder of several journals, is generally regarded as the "founding father" of contemporary discourse studies
And then analysis
Definition of analysis :
1.      Analysis is the process of breaking a complex topic or substance into smaller parts in order to gain a better understanding of it.
2.      Simple Definition of analysis
a.      a careful study of something to learn about its parts, what they do, and how they are related to each other
b.     an explanation of the nature and meaning of something.

3.  Brown and Yule (1983) ) observe that DA examines  “how addressers construct  linguistic messages for addressees and how addressees work on linguistic messages in order to interpret them.”

4.While Nunan (1993), states the definition of discourse linguistics as the study of how stretches of language used in communication assume meaning, purpose and unity for their users: the quality of coherence (an interaction of text with given participants/context).

5. Discourse analysis does not presuppose a bias towards the study of either spoken or written language. In fact, the monolithic character of the categories of speech and writing has been widely challenged,especially as the gaze of analysts turns to multi-media texts and practices on the Internet.

Last discourse analysis

Definition discourse analysis can read guys

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.
Developed in the 1970s, the field of discourse analysis is concerned with "the use of language in a running discourse, continued over a number of sentences, and involving the interaction of speaker (or writer) and auditor (or reader) in a specific situational context, and within a framework of social and cultural conventions" (Abrams and Harpham, A Glossary of Literary Terms, 2005).
Discourse analysis has been described as an interdisciplinary study of discourse within linguistics, though it has also been adopted (and adapted) by researchers in numerous other fields in the social sciences. Theoretical perspectives and approaches used in discourse analysis include the following: applied linguistics, conversation analysis, pragmatics, rhetoric, stylistics, and text linguistics, among many others.
