Description:

This course investigates one of the fundamental theoretical ways language is studied today. Students study the theories of discourse analysis and practice those theories by analyzing spoken and written texts. Analysis of the various kinds of texts in our culture-from billboards to novels, from political speeches and academic lectures to radio and TV talk shows-leads into discussions of conversational style, gender, linguistic stereotypes, and problems in intracultural communication.
