Discourse Analysis

 

 

Discourse Analysis is the study of how we use language in real life. It looks beyond individual words or sentences and focuses on how language works in context—how people communicate ideas, express identities, build relationships, and even exercise power through talk and text.It all began with a simple idea fueled by a deep passion. As a small business, we pride ourselves on personal attention and dedication to every detail. Our approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to excellence.

 

Instead of asking “What does this word mean?”, discourse analysis asks:

  • “How is language being used here?”

  • “What effect does it have?”

  • “What does it reveal about people, culture, or society?”

 

For example, analyzing a political speech isn’t just about the vocabulary—it’s about how the speaker tries to persuade, include, or exclude certain groups. Studying online conversations isn’t just about emojis or hashtags—it’s about how people shape communities and negotiate meaning.

 

In short: Discourse Analysis is about understanding language as action.
