4.0 Conclusion
The kinds of discourse were extensively examined in this Unit. They clearly show that the discourse analyst is open to a lot of options in his analysis of both spoken and written discourse. The most essential view of a discourse analyst of these various kinds of discourse is that they are instances of language use indifferent social contexts, therefore, these social contexts play a prominent role in their interpretation. The discourse analysts do not lose focus of the linguistic peculiarities of the discourse as they examine how the context informs and shapes such peculiarities.
5.0 Summary
In this Unit, we looked at the different kinds of discourse that we can come across in any human social context, such as the various kinds of spoken discourse (monologue, dialogue, multilogue and conversation. Also we examined the kinds of written discourse. We particularly noted the practice of analyzing written discourse by looking at the devices used for making the text appear as a unified whole and how themes in each paragraph progress.
