Course Discription |
:
This course deals with issues related to the field of discourse analysis as a cognitive field that connects discourse structure of social, political and cultural issues that relate to it, and examines the impact of linguistic discourse in the society, and by this it studies the language interactively. The course also moves from studying structure to studying structuration and from signification, in its old sense related to the search for the hidden meaning, to significance which invloves conducting some text applications of connectivity and convergence and proportionality. The course sheds light on the study of discourse interaction, the formation of hypotheses concerning speaker and addressee, the discourse connectives, and the degree of cohesion in its constituent parts. Moreover, the course requires furnishing some information related to the choice of words, structures, information included in the discourse, and the time shifts and connotations in it.
