Discourse analysis


 

Discourse analysis is a number of approaches to analysing language use above the sentence or clause level. The language in question can be written or spoken texts or systems of texts. The term discourse analysis first entered general use as the title of a paper published by Zellig Harris in 1952. Harris' method was more of an expansion of grammatical analysis than what is now commonly thought of as discourse analysis, and this portion of his work is now largely neglected, other than the title itself.
