About the course: 'Discourse in society: analysing text and talk'

How do people communicate and make meaning as members of social groups? This is a question that has researchers have recourse to the theories and methods of Discourse Studies. Discourse can comprise text, talk as well as non-linguistic resources (such as images) and it designates the uses that is made of them in certain contexts. By studying discourse, we can learn how language is used to construct identities, exercise power, and represent social realities. Discourse analysis often deals with contemporary questions, such as discrimination of minorities in political communication (e.g. hate speech), the representation of social groups in the media (e.g. women in newspapers), the negotiation of identities in institutional settings (e.g. language and power in schools). The workshop presents various perspectives on discourse with a particular focus on qualitative and quantitative methods. It will enable the participants to work on large or small collections of texts from corpus analysis to conversation analysis. There will be a chance for participants to engage with material such as newspaper articles, interviews or conversations. The course will deal with language in its intricate articulations with politics, gender and education.

The course level is equivalent to an undergraduate degree at intermediate level.
