| 6.0 Conclusion Discourse Analysis is not an isolated discipline. Its origin and its current practice show that it is connected in an intricate way with several other disciplines. The discipline originated from the work of ethnographers and later became a discipline in language and social sciences. Now, scholars have shown the relevance of discourse to other disciplines by demonstrating how discourse is used in these disciplines. 5.0 Summary In this Unit we examined the relationship of Discourse with other disciplines. We specifically looked at Sociology and Discourse. We noted that they have similar approach to analysis. Language being asocial phenomenon, it is governed by social norms that guide the general human behaviour. We also examined Discourse and Philosophy, and we saw that Philosophy probes into how we understand language and interpret meaning in discourse. Discourse and Medicine was also examined, looking at how Discourse is used in medical interaction. 6.0 Tutor-marked Assignment 124 1.
