THE BRANCH OF DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

Assalamu’alaykum guys...

Yey.. I am back,,

Well, last week I had explained about the definition of discourse analysis and,

 for this time I will explain to you about the branch of discourse analysis.

So, please read it.. v(^_^)v

Discourse analysis is a branch of applied linguistics it’s relates with evaluation of discourse with purpose for review found patterns of Communication and lay things subscription. Discourse analysis is a diciplines examines the real use a language communication. Another notions is that discourse analysis is a review the researching and analyzing the language whivh was used operated Natural, either verbal or written. Since discourse is first of all a form of language use, it goes without saying that linguistic methods of analysis have played a predominant role in the study of text and talk. Many types of structural, generative, or functional grammars have been developed to describe the properties of verbal utterances. Thus, phonology, morphology, and syntax have emerged as increasingly explicit subcomponents of such grammars in order to characterize sound structures, word formation, and the formal structures of sentences.

The brach of discourse analysis:

Some of the branches include Critical Discourse Analysis, Social, Religious,   Scientific, Feminism, Corpus, Racism and Media Discourse Analysis.

1.        1.            Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a branch of Discourse Analysis (DA) which

focuses on the connections and interactions between language use, ideology, power,

discourse and sociocultural change (Fairclough, 1995). As a method of analyzing these  issues CDA has existed and been prominently used for long enough to establish itself as a

recognized and generally respected branch of Applied Linguistics research.

CDA has not only helped to expand the broader linguistic field of DA, but has given rise to a few widely-used DA approaches such as Ruth Wodak’s Discourse Historical Analysis

(DHA) (see Wodak, 2007 for discussion) as well as a variety of CDA approaches which examine issues such as racism and discrimination (see, e.g., van Dijk, 1988) and issues of ideology and power (see, e.g., Fairclough, 1995).

2.                   Corpus Linguistics Whilst branches of linguistics such as syntax, semantics, and sociolinguistics have as their aim the description of an aspect of language structure or language use, corpus linguistics is a broader concept that can be applied to many aspects of linguistic enquiry. During its early days corpus linguistics was seen merely as a bundle of methods and procedures that deal with empirical data in linguistics. It was predominantly employed to serve lexicography and language teaching. With the formulation of more theoretical principles underlying the corpus approach, we can observe the emergence of corpus linguistics as a (sub-) discipline in its own right. This has lead to a new focus on qualitative analysis together with a concern of discourse in Foucauldian sense, i.e. as a concrete socio-historical formation characterised by particular ways of using language. This article takes up and develops such an approach.

3.                   Discourse in social  In the late 1960-s significant shifts occurred in the conceptualisation of how meanings are constructed through the social use of language. The models developed as the result of this shift have the notion of discourse as their central category. Their common feature is the definition of discourse as a form of social practice. The new angle on the view of discourse challenged the structuralist concept of “language” as an abstract system (Saussure’s langue) and emphasized the process of making and using meanings within particular historical, social, and political conditions. At this level, then, the term discourse is employed to explain the conditions of language use within the social relations that structure them.

4.                   Eclecticism in Discourse Analysis If discourse analysis were represented pictorially by a tree, I see it as a tree with many branches—each shaped by different pioneers (from Searle to Schegloff, Gumperz to Grice), disciplines (linguistics to philosophy, anthropology to sociology to psychology), and perspectives (theoretical to methodological). Discourse researchers occupying these different branches have a history of maintaining their own set of aims and, in so doing, drawing clear lines between one another’s work. As Lakoff (2001) writes, each domain of language study has advanced its own way of talking, with such boundaries both “guarded jealously and justified zealously” (p. 200).

5.                   Media discourse refers to interactions that take place through a broadcast platform,whether spoken  or written,in which  the discourse is oriented to a non-present reader,listener or viewer. Though the discourse is oriented towards these  recipients, they very often cannot make Instantaneous responses to the producer(s)  of the discourse, though increasingly this is changing with the advent of new  media technology, as we  shall explore.Crucially, the written or spoken discourse itself is oriented to thereadership

or listening/viewing audience, respectively. In other words, media discourse is a public, manufactured, on-record, form of interaction. It is not ad hoc or spontaneous (in the same way as casual speaking or writing is); it is neither private nor off the record. Obvious as these  basic  characteristics may sound,nthey are crucial to the investigation, description and understanding of media discourse.

Well, that’s all the explanation about the branch of discourse analysis thanks for read and I will give u the another of discourse analysis explanation next week ..

Thanks for reading ..^^
