DISCOURSE ANALYSIS 
DISCURSE
Interpreting discourse
It means that we can understand or interpret a text even if it is not well written and has grammatical errors :memo:
Is usually defined as “language beyond the sentence” and so the analysis of discourse is typically concerned with the study of language in texts and conversation.
For example:No shoes, no service (“If you are wearing no shoes, you will receive no service”)
COHESION
-
For example: My father once bought a Lincoln convertible. He did it by saving every penny he could. That car would be worth a fortune nowadays. However, he sold it to help pay for my college education. Sometimes I think I’d rather have the convertible.
We can identify connections here in the use of words to maintain reference to the same people and things throughout.
COHERENCE
Coherence is something that exists in people, is people who “make sense“ of what they read and hear.
-
For example:For example, you pick up a newspaper and see this headline: Woman robs bank with sandwich.
-
CONVERSATION ANALYSIS
Is an activity in which, for the most part, two or more people take turns at speaking.
Turn-Taking
Completion points are marked by the end of a sentence and a pause, then one way to “keep the turn” is, don’t pause at the end of sentences and use connectors like: and, then, so, but.
-
Adjacency Pairs
It consists of a first part and a second part, as found in greetings or question/ answer sequences. For example: when someone says Hi or Hello, we usually respond with a similar greeting.
-
THE CO-OPERATIVE PRINCIPLE
Make your conversational contribution such as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged.
Plus four elements: Quantity, Quality, Relation, Manner
In simple terms, we expect our conversational partners to make succinct, honest, relevant and clear contributions to the interaction
Hedges
Are expressions used to show that we are concerned about following the maxims while being co-operative speakers, also are words or phrases used to indicate that we are not really sure that what we are saying is sufficiently correct or complete. For example: sort of or kind of
-
BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE
We use our background knowledge to arrive at interpretations of what we hear and read is a critical part of doing discourse analysis.

Schemas and Scripts
-
A script is essentially a dynamic schema. That is, instead of the set of typical fixed features in a schema, a script has a series of conventional actions that take place.
