Annotation
Analysis of the Discourse presents a specific perspective of media contents. On the basis of the contrast to the textual analysis it will acquaint the students with methodologically broader approach and provide them with instruments of the discursive analysis.
Within the scope of this course basic types of the analysis of the discourse will be outlined as well as the distinction between linguistic and sociological approach to the discourse. Presentation of a practical discursive analysis based upon actual examples of media contents with utilisation of traditional methods of this approach (Fairclough, van Dijk etc.) will be part of the course.
