Diskursforschung - Diskursanalyse - Diskurswissenschaft


Discourse studies is an interdisciplinary field that investigates how language is used in real contexts, focusing on texts, talk, and other symbolic practices. It examines how meanings are constructed, negotiated, and contested in social interaction, institutions, media, and everyday life. The field combines approaches from linguistics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and communication studies. Core interests include power relations, ideology, identity, and the ways language both reflects and shapes social realities. Methods range from conversation analysis and critical discourse analysis to corpus-based approaches. Discourse studies aims to explain not just what is said, but how and why it is said, and with what social consequences.
