Discourse Analysis at William & Mary
What We Do
The DA@W&M research group studies Discourse Analysis, a field of linguistics. Discourse Analysis focuses on relating spoken or written language to a larger social context.

Why Discourse Analysis?
Discourse analysis, and sociocultural linguistics generally, is concerned with connecting language patterns to the lived experiences of language users. Every study should give back to the participants, their communities, and/or society at large. By doing discourse analysis, we hope not only to add to the body of scholarly knowledge, but also to support positive social changes in the world.
Get Involved
