In this course, students are introduced in Discourse Analysis, the branch of sociopragmatics which studies the organization of various aspects of everyday natural discourse (and which often takes the form of conversation). We begin by approaching key notions of pragmatics and sociolinguistics, such as utterance, context, linguistic variation and its dimensions as prerequisites for the analysis of naturally occurring data, and we move on to issues such as deixis/indexicality, speech acts in relation to implicatures, critical discourse analysis, conversation analysis, linguistic im/politeness, gendered and sexed discourse, bilingual discourse (code mixing/switching), etc. The lectures, oral presentations, and written assignments focus on collecting and analyzing naturally occurring data.
Learning outcomes: This course is an introduction to Discourse Analysis, the branch of linguistics which studies naturally occurring (oral and written) discourse in everyday communication. Its main aims are to a) familiarize students in the social sciences with basic pragmatic and sociolinguistic notions relating to language in use and underpinning discourse analysis and b) to use these key notions for the practical aim of analyzing authentic linguistic data (texts). The knowledge acquired promotes the understanding of discourse as a multilayered phenomenon, while the relevant skills allow students to analyze aspects of our everyday linguistic production in a principled and systematic way. The ulterior aim of the course is to provide social scientists with an understanding that social phenomena are anchored in discourse and that it constitutes social practice.
