English 710: Discourse Analysis

This course provides a practice-intensive introduction to the craft of analyzing language as social action. Each class will have required background readings, and class sessions will include focused attention to spoken interaction. We will attend to turn construction, turn taking, collaborative courses of action, the interactional emergence of stories, and the local construction of (and resistance to) categories, relationships, and institutional structures.
