Survey the methods of analysis, from a perspective of discourse as social action embedded in audiences and constraints. We will cover the history of such analysis as it developed in public use and gained academic rigor, and from speech texts toward all types of artifacts. Theoretical methodologies include text-based, sociological, critical/ materialist, dramatic/performative, and qualitative/quantitative studies. Students will analyze one text (oral, written, visual, spatial, or performed) over the entire semester.
