This video is awesome, it is both educational and entertaining. I like your way of explanation, straight forward .The short sketches are funny, I like that .
Thank you very much Mr. Ashworth. I've got a lot of insightful information from your explanation. it helps me so much because I'm currently writing a book chapter which relates to CDA.
Your videos are very helpful, Sir. Thank you for this. I learned a lot from it and I was able to write my paper on discourse analysis for my class because of your very clear explanation about it. Please consider uploading a video about erasures and ecolinguistics, Sir.
I love your work sir. Please sir consider uploading some lectures on "Language Development and Acquisition" part of linguistics as well. Thank you again. Keep up the good work sir.
Evan, this is great. I'm featuring it in our Feb 2023 MindBrainEd Think Tank magazine, where we connect brain science to language teaching. The Feb issue theme is discourse.
@@evanashworth490 you have a slight thousand-yard stare, but its normal considering you’ve delved deep under the surface of language and understood it so well. hats off to you soldier.
Please do a comprehensive video on on discourse analysis about half an hour. Please cover of the aspects of course analysis as far as introductory linguistic is concerned.
Dear Mr. I am a sophomore. I was looking for a video for a big assignment of mine in class. And I stumbled across your video. It's really cool and the way you convey your knowledge to people is really amazing. This is exactly the video I was looking for. So I am writing this comment to ask you if I can use this video to use in my schoolwork. It is purely for my learning purposes. Thank you very much.
This video helps me too much, thank you sir . please upload the lecture on (The nature of the linguistics sign) and also value and characteristics of sign , i will be very thankful to sir ,please sirr
AOA sir my papers are around the corner, i want to clear the concept of the nature of linguistics sign and value and characteristics of sign.. thank you
Thank you so much for differentiating critical discourse analysis within the discipline. I have been meaning to getting involved into the societal part of discourse analysis and have been looking for programs, but not to seriously up until very recently. What program you would recommend?
your video is super informative! would you kindly give us more videos on spoken communicative competence with its four components: linguistic competence, discourse competence, sociolinguistic competence and pragmatic competence. thanks in advance
Hi Hamdy. I will try to create a video on the notion of linguistic "competence", though that may take some time as I have other videos lined up before then. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your video. I have to do a bachelor's thesis and I am wondering if there is a minimum of material that has to be analyzed for good discourse analysis.
Hi Anna. Ideally, you would reach a point of data saturation (when additional data yields nothing new), but that can often only be determined by the researcher and will vary according to the research project. If you're working on a thesis, it should be pretty substantial. What are you working on?
Thanks much! I think Discourse Analysis would be the most appropriate (especially if you intend to analyze not just the posts themselves, but how the politician responds to/engages with others who respond to their posts and how the politician tries to "make meaning" and engage with their constituents more generally). However, if you want to analyze the politician's language at a more "nuts and bolts" level (e.g., what patterns they use in their posts, such as certain words, punctuation, or emojis), you could possibly use conversation analysis. I hope that helps!
hey! good video. hope u will see this. I'm trying to conduct a research with the political discourse sphere in UK and my methodology is the cultural dimensions of hofstede. The thing is, i have to look for ways to see how these dimensions are expressed in their speeches. Do u have an idea?
Hello! Even though it's been a while since I read some Hofstede, consider the following. Hofstede developed the "Cultural Dimensions Theory", which involves a series of aspects in which cultural differences could be explored. For example, one of these aspects is "masculinity vs. femininity", so one could use discourse analysis of conversation in a speech community to understand how notions of gender are valued in the cultures of those speech communities. I hope that helps!
Hello! Very generally, pragmatics involves the study of meaning in context (e.g., how do we know when someone is being sarcastic?), so it is a subdiscipline of linguistics. However, I think of discourse analysis as more of a methodology for analyzing extended stretches of language. I hope that helps!
Hello, I hope you're doing well. I was wondering if you would be willing to give me a piece of advice on selection of the appropriate analytical approach for my MA thesis. When I read about these approaches they all seemed similar to me. I want to research negative attitudes shown through language usage towards Eliza Doolittle in G. B. Shaw's "Pygmalion". Would Discourse Analysis be the proper one to use in order to approach this topic? Looking forward to your reply. Best regards
Hello! If you're interested in researching the attitudes that characters in "Pygmalion" have towards Eliza Doolittle, I might suggest using narrative analysis or textual analysis, since you would be focusing on perceptions (as expressed through language) within the story itself. If, however, you wanted to examine people (that is, real people's) perceptions of Eliza Doolittle, then discourse analysis could be useful. I hope that helps!
Sir, how is discourse theory applied inside the school aside from student-teacher discourse, What other situations in the school in which discourse theory can be observed? Please respond Thank you.
Hi Hanna. I imagine that other contexts in which discourse analysis might be applied in school settings would include parent-teacher interactions (especially at the Kindergarten through 12th grade levels), teacher-teacher interactions, teacher-staff interactions, and student-student interactions. I hope that helps!
It is possible that I may make a video on this topic in the future. I see this video on RUclips, but not sure how helpful you will find it: ruclips.net/video/M8ImJJ-soMA/видео.html
I suppose it depends who you talk to. A semantician is concerned with "meaning" insofar as denotational meaning is concerned (e.g., is a "beanbag" a chair?), but a discourse analyst might say that when friends engage in conversation, their use of slang terms reinforces group membership, so in that sense "meaning" and "identity" certainly overlap. I would not say that "meaning" and "identity" are equivalent, though. I think of it this way: "Meanings" (from what a word means to what our place in a social group means) add onto and interact with other meanings to form identity.
Thank you sir. But I got one question: well how is critical discourse analysis performed ? I read several papers about critical discourse analysis but those papers did not mention the details of their research methods, like how to analysis discourse texts, how to collect data etc. I will really appreciate if anyone could also help answer my question
Hello! Critical discourse analysis is not so different from discourse analysis in terms of methods (e.g., examining the use of language in speech or texts, thematic analysis), but the goals are different--the former seeks to understand how language reinforces asymmetrical power relationships) while the latter focuses on how speakers use language to co-construct meaning).
Technically, they are different subdisciplines of linguistics. Pragmatics involves the study of meaning in context (e.g., how speakers understand sarcasm), while discourse analysis involves investigating how speakers work together to make meaning in conversation. I would further argue that students should learn pragmatics before they take on discourse analysis, as an understanding of the later requires an understanding of the former. Another thing to consider is that discourse analysis is something you can "do" or "perform" by analyzing extended stretches of written, signed, or spoken language, but you can't really "do" pragmatics. I hope that helps!
I might suggest using a critical discourse approach because practitioners of the critical perspective often seek to bring about social change regarding issues such as racism.
Hi Abbas. I'm not entirely clear on what you mean by "sentence linguistics", but I assume you are getting at the idea that most of linguistics has been concerned with what is going on at the level of the sentence or lower (phrases, words, morpheme, sounds). If so, this is not the domain of discourse analysis, which is concerned with the study of extended stretches of naturally occurring language.
Well, very generally, I would say that if we consider stylistics a matter of varieties of language used depending upon social context, we could say that discourse analysis could be performed on any "style".
In short, the objects of analysis are the extended stretches of language in the form of words in some sort of narrative or dialogue, the relationship between the speakers, and the context in which the discourse occurs, so... a lot
Hi Pratik. I'm not sure if I understand your question, but discourse analysis is, generally, the study of language in extended stretches of language (that is, the study of language beyond the sentence). However, "summary", at least to me, merely represents an overview of an idea.
Hello! Yes, registers are entirely context-dependent because speakers have different registers for different situations. For example, you have a register for ordering a meal at a restaurant, which is different from the register you might use when talking to an instructor at school.
Hello. Pragmatics involves the study of meaning in context, while discourse analysis involves the study of extended stretches of language (beyond the sentence). Although the concepts often interrelate with one another, pragmatics can involve discussions about single words (and their meanings in certain contexts), but discourse analysis doesn't really study anything smaller than the sentence.
Hello! Well, CDA could be used, for example, to investigate political or media discourse in which poor people are framed as lazy or dishonest. Unfortunately, such sentiments are common, and CDA could be used as a lens through which such political/media messages are propagated.

hello! this is very informative! I would like to ask if what analysis best fits an analysis of politician's social media posts?
