Video Introduction to Discourse Analysis

By Published On: 06/05/201318 Comments on Video Introduction to Discourse AnalysisCategories: Research, Studying, Theories, Visual and Political Communication

In this video introduction to discourse analysis, I provide and overview to an important method for studying political communication. Through practical examples, you will find out more about discourse theory and about the things that researchers look for as they analyse political texts. If you want to learn more, you might also find my blog-post on discourse theory interesting, and may want to take a look at my practical tips on how to set up a discourse analysis and at the ten work-steps I recommend for analyzing political texts.
