Blog # 5 --Discourse Analysis

In my opinion, the term "Discourse" relates to discussing a subject by the use of speech. For instance, in a classroom, a professor explains the subject matter to his or her class of students, by use of their voice, while visually projecting the information by use of an overhead projector or chalkboard. Both ways help to get the knowledge connected between the instructor and the students.


In addition, the phrase "Discourse Analysis" seems to mean how a person associates language in everyday use. This could be used as a Research Method as in the "Interviewing" method, considering you would need to communicate information and knowledge between various people in a community to gain your data.
