ENG 371 - Discourse Analysis

This course is an introduction to the contemporary study of discourse analysis as a way to explore a broad range of social practices embodied in language. It provides an opportunity to work with specific techniques of discourse analysis, studying how social relations, identities, and knowledge are constructed through language. The course will prepare students to use language “tools of inquiry” in their research in the humanities. Some sections of this course may be offered as hybrid courses or online only.
