Discourse Analysis

1/2 day

The Centre for Language and Communication (CLCR) is able to offer training for students and research staff in developing appropriate critical approaches to analysing spoken and written discourse.

Two levels of training are offered: an introductory workshop in the autumn and advanced training via a taught postgraduate module in Semester 2.

The introductory half-day workshop will provide an overview of approaches to analysing discourse and their theoretical and practical implications, and will include an opportunity for students and research staff to discuss their particular needs. Students and research staff can opt to follow up this session through reading or the advanced training.

The advanced training consists of a full semester postgraduate module in Discourse and Social Interaction and/or Text and Context. Students may attend some or all of the module, and may undertake the assessment for formative feedback.
