What You'll Learn
This course introduces students to ways of investigating how language is used in real-world contexts and how meanings are generated in discourse. Course sessions are designed to facilitate discussions on and explorations of key issues in discourse analysis. These issues include how different components of lexicogrammar work together to produce meaning, how language is used to fulfil certain functions in communicative events, and how language constructs identities, relationships and our social world. The course aims to build students’ practical skills to analyse a variety of texts using different discourse-analytic approaches, and gives them the opportunity to apply key concepts and skills of discourse analysis in an applied analytic project. **Note: The ECA for this course may consist of a project that builds on data gathered in TMA01 and/or TMA02. Although RESIT students have already passed OCAS and will not submit new TMA work as part of their RESIT, these students may need to gather new data for the RESIT ECA, as specified in the guidelines of the new TMA(s). Any questions about this matter should be directed to the course AF or the programme team.**
