This book offers a comprehensive exploration of discourse, its role in shaping communication, identity, and societal structures, and its application in everyday interactions. Designed to introduce both foundational concepts and advanced methodologies in discourse analysis, the book moves from theoretical discussions to practical case studies.
The first chapter, Life as Discourse, examines discourse beyond language, positioning it as a dynamic process through which meaning is continuously negotiated. It discusses how discourse influences social values, identities, and power relations, laying the groundwork for understanding its essential components.
The second chapter, Understanding Discourse, delves into various theoretical frameworks used in discourse analysis. It provides an in-depth discussion on approaches such as Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), Conversation Analysis (CA), Ethnography of Communication, Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA), Narrative Analysis, Foucauldian Discourse Analysis, Cognitive Discourse Analysis, Pragmatics, Interactional Sociolinguistics, and Systemic Functional Linguistics. By illustrating how each approach examines language to construct social realities, the book equips readers with analytical tools for dissecting discourse structures.
The third chapter, Theoretical and Practical Perspectives of Discourse Analysis, applies the discussed theories to real-world examples, demonstrating how discourse analysis uncovers power relations, societal norms, and cultural assumptions embedded in texts ranging from media articles to conversations. Practical applications of CDA, CA, Ethnography of Communication, and MDA show readers how discourse functions as both a reflective and shaping force in human interaction.
By critically engaging with discourse, this book guides readers toward a deeper understanding of how language constructs identities, mediates power dynamics, and reinforces cultural norms in everyday and institutional settings. Through theory and hands-on analysis, Discourse in Everyday Life serves as an essential resource for anyone interested in unraveling the intricate mechanisms of human communication.
