Discourse Analysis - Language Context and Discourse - Language and Context in Discourse Analysis

Discourse Analysis - Language Context and Discourse - Language and Context in Discourse Analysis
Discourse analysis examines patterns of the language across texts and considers the relationship between language and the social and cultural contexts in which it is used. Discourse analysis also considers the ways that the use of language presents different views of the world and different understandings. It examines how the use of language is influenced by relationships between participants as well as the effects the use of language has upon social identities and relations. It also considers how views of the world, and identities, are constructed through the use of discourse.
Context is the key through language makes sense.
1) Without a proper understanding of context, language has no value and understanding.
2) Context plays a vital role in understanding spoken as well as written discourse.
3) A single phrase may have countless meanings and interpretations in multiple contexts and situations.
4) If you are unaware of the culture and context of the writer or speaker, then you are most unlikely to understand what is being said or written.
Discourse analysts are also interested in how people organize what they say in the sense of what they typically say first, and what they say next, and so on in a conversation or in a piece of writing.
An email, for example, to me from a Japanese academic or a member of the administrative staff at a Japanese university may start with reference to the weather saying immediately after Dear Professor Paltridge something like Greetings! It’s such a beautiful day today here in Kyoto. I, of course, may also say this in an email to an overseas colleague but is it not a ritual requirement in English, as it is in Japanese.
Different cultures often have different ways of doing things through language. This is something that was explored by Hymes ( 1964 ) through the notion of the ethnography of communication.
