1.0 Introduction This Unit introduces you to the kinds of discourse we have. The term discourse is so widely applied that we need to delimit it and identify some of the kinds of discourse that discourse analysts are particularly interested in. Such types of discourse include spoken discourses, such as monologue, dialogue, multilogue and conversation. We shall also look at written discourse
and the different types, and lastly, interpersonal discourse.
