A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Definitions and scope of discourse analysis

Discourse analysis studies language as it is actually used in context, not just as isolated sentences. For exam purposes, you must master what counts as discourse, how discourse analysis differs from grammar-focused study, and the main areas it covers such as context, meaning, interaction, and larger social use of language.
