Forms of Discourse Analysis Vzorová ustanovení

Forms of Discourse Analysis. Gee divides discourse analysis into two forms often divided into: descriptive and critical (2014, 8). In this thesis are being done both of them. Descriptive one is primarily focused on technical implementation, and it is analysing and describing linguistic data. According to Xxxx, descriptive discourse analysis gives information about how a given language works in order to understand it well, meaning that grammar plays here a considerable role, as does vocabulary (1998, 23). The word descriptive also gives a hint that there is a focus on what is present in the particular situation rather than what it should be. It follows that there has to be an awareness that someone has commented on something that has been already done (Xxxxx and Xxxx 1998, 23). On the other hand, the critical discourse analysis takes into account not only how the language works but also other aspects. There is more significant concentration on the context, internal structure within the society, historical background. It is trying to look into the problematics of the text from the critical and theoretical point of view (Xxxxx and Xxxxx 2016, 1). Critical discourse analysis is being done preferably in the case of political discourse or some historical events (Xxxxxxxxxx and Fairclough 2012, 1). For doing an analysis focused on linguistics theory is more convenient to do the descriptive one. It is because the linguistic one is more about collecting the data and moving forward with these new data, rather than developing and arguing new theories as it happens while doing the critical one (Xxxxxx and Xxxxx 2006, 4). However, in this bachelor thesis is the analysis looking to the texts also from the historical point of view and there are commented issues which affected the given result. It follows that this work is not just about collecting data, but it also discusses on some historical aspects which are commented in following chapters.
