Any length or form of language in use that achieves meaning and coherence is
referred to be discourse. Discourse analysis (DA) is the application of theories and
methodologies that clarify the meaning and coherence of a text. Discourse analysis
therefore pays attention to both the language itself as well as the components and
mechanisms that make communication possible.

DA observed that discourse and context (the non-linguistic components of

communication) differ from text (the linguistic components of communication) in
that they interact to produce meaning. Various DA techniques tended to emphasize
the role of one or more of the context's components, further treating context as
having a number of different components.

The situation or immediate environment of communication, the participants and

their intentions, knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, affiliations, and feelings, as well as
their roles, relations, and status, as well as the cultural and ideological norms and
assumptions against which a given communication occurs, language that precedes
or follows that under analysis, sometimes referred to as "co-text," are all examples
of factors that can be taken into account when determining context; use of non-
verbal communication alongside verbal communication, such as the use of music
and images; the use of a physical communication medium, such as speaking,
writing, print, telephone, and computer.

Pragmatics, schema theory, conversation analysis, ethnography, language

ecology, linguistics ethnography, semiotics, paralanguage, multimodality, bigger
structures, genre analysis, and critical discourse analysis are only a few of the
approaches to communication that DA has created (CDA). The focus on context
and pragmatics draws attention to how discourse is organized by what speakers
are attempting to accomplish with their words and how their interlocutors are able
to understand those goals.

Schema theory is an effective technique in DA because it can be used to explain

both low level linguistic events like article choice and high level understanding
characteristics like coherence. Schema can be categorized as context in the binary
notion of discourse as text + context since it is a type of knowledge obtained from
experience of the world in which each new text is understood. However, the
relationship between text and schema is dynamic; schemata are used to
comprehend texts, but they are also altered by them.

Ethnography does not limit itself to spoken face-to-face conversation or to

language-based communication like DA does; rather, it tries to understand culture
through an investigation of all aspects of daily life in a specific setting.

DA has been addressed in a variety of ways with regard to language teaching and
learning. The guiding principle of communicative language teaching, as well as its
later developments like task-based language teaching, was and remains
fundamentally based on DA, which holds that successful language learning entails
much more than merely acquiring a static formal knowledge of the target language
but also requires the capacity to achieve meaning in communication. There is a
case to be made for the claim that there is no longer a single theory or method of
analysis that can be clearly labelled as discourse analysis, despite the fact that it
may be admirable to draw eclectically upon the strengths of many research
traditions to gain a rich insight into communication.
