What is Discourse Analysis?

1.                  Discourse refers to language in use, as a process which is socially situated. (Candlin, 1997: ix) (Laura Alba-Juez, Perspective on Discourse Analysis: Theory and Practice, 2009: 9)

2.                  The study of discourse is the study of any aspect of language use (Fasold, 1990: 65) (Laura Alba-Juez, Perspective on Discourse Analysis: Theory and Practice, 2009: 9)
