A Wittgensteinian Approach to Discourse Analysis

Yet precisely how interpretation and response are carried out in the game of conversation remains a puzzle. The goal of discourse analysis, as broadly conceived, is to unravel this mystery: To describe the game, to illuminate its often obscure rules, to clearly mark out its boundaries and to identify its players, coaches and referees.

An Introduction to Conversational Analysis

Conversation analysts study conversations - of all kinds. They are happy to put under the microscope anything from diagnosing schizophrenia to answering questions in court, and from talking over family matters at dinner to guiding a pilot through fog. All are done through talk.

Critical applied linguistics

The emergence of various ‘critical’ perspectives in applied linguistics since the mid 1980s has been welcomed by some and rejected by others. Some of these perspectives have emerged under overt banners of criticality: critical discourse analysis, critical literacy or critical pedagogy; others are informed by general formations of critical work and theory: , gender studies, queer theory, postcolonial studies, or anti-racist pedagogy.

Critical Discourse Analysis

A structuralist approach to media studies has the advantage of opening up many new areas for analysis and criticism. However, questions about structuralist assumptions and methods still remain, and we are seriously lacking in satisfactory answers, many of which remain beyond the scope of this investigation.

Discourse Analysis

It is difficult to give a single definition of Critical or Discourse Analysis as a research method. Indeed, rather than providing a particular method, Discourse Analysis can be characterized as a way of approaching and thinking about a problem. In this sense, Discourse Analysis is neither a qualitative nor a quantitative research method, but a manner of questioning the basic assumptions of quantitative and qualitative research methods.

Discourse Analysis and Grammar

A text is any piece of language, spoken or written, of whatever length, which forms a unified whole. A speaker of a language can easily distinguish between a text and a collection of sentences. This is because texts have texture, that is, the quality of functioning as a unity.

What is meant by

The term discourse analysis is very ambiguous. I will use it in this book to refer mainly to the linguistic analysis of naturally occurring connected speech or written discourse. Roughly speaking, it refers to attempts to study the organisation of language above the sentence or above the clause, and therefore to study larger linguistic units, such as conversational exchanges or written texts.
