Gee's "An Introduction to Discourse Analysis: Theory and Method"
Social language, types of language that express our identity.
Conversation, public debates with recognizable sides.
Intertextuality.when one text references another.
Discourses, words, deeds, actions. Look at language only to determine how people communicate who they are and what they're doing. The aspirin warning was a great example. I know what the authors are talking about now. Who's doing what = social language.
The example about Jane surprises me only in that Jane couldn't figure out that she speaks differently with different people without undertaking the experiment. The science article example seems a bit overkill. I get it already. Oh, interesting. The who you are and what you're doing in language is historically shaped. Ok.
Collocational patterns. Signal with grammar. Decontextualized grammar is when you use very little signaling. Not sure how else to explain it, but I get that. The idea that lower income kids do poorly in school because they don't know how to use decontextualized language...interesting. We talked about that at Essex.
Hypothesis not allowing me to highlight the text I want to comment on. So annoying.
Tools of inquiry and thinking devices. Ask questions when interpreting a text.
Conversations with a capital C. Maybe that's why no one listens to each other anymore in America. All the background Conversations get in the way.
