This was an academic question for Oldspice, no need for any followups.

What if we're feeling mischevious and want to follow it up to annoy you?
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

Isn't that what PMs are for?  Are you implying you and Oldspice are the only academics on the forum?

Haha now that is funny!


Self praise is no recommendation - far too many self professed academics/genius/superior characters around here!

Could have done a PM, but this was quicker.  I don't know who is academic and who isn't.

If anybody would like this subject made a little clearer, I found the following quote:


"Like most other methods for the analysis of discursive data, Discourse Analysis is not a coherent paradigm of well-defined procedures, but a proliferated theoretical approach, which covers a broad range of methdological devices. Below sources are intended to give a first overview of this methodological tradition."


I hope that clears it up!
