You're brilliant. I've learnt so SO much from all your lectures. My Master's studying is all the more joyful thanks to fab highly intelligent clear thinking lecturers like you, imparting the lecture content beautifully. Been listening to your lectures for over a year now. Thank you
Marktin John, I can imagine it is very difficult for you working in your second language to pick up the subtle and rapid linguistic actions that DA looks at. Not even native speakers find it easy to do. Often they use all these various discursive actions without necessarily being aware of them. One of the best books I have come across for details of how to do DA is: Gee, J. P. (2014). How to do discourse analysis: A toolkit. London: Routledge.
+Graham R Gibbs i had a head trauma when i was 9 years old as a result i can not understand conversation meaning i can not interpret the intent of the person talking to me my judgment is terrible the only time i am collected is when i smoke weed then language kinda makes sense to me the rest of the time i am terribly confused and i absolutely can not think what study material will help me ?
I truly appreciate the invaluable contribution you have made and continue to make to our academic lives all over the world. I savored every minute of the lecture. Thank U again!
Just happened to find you on UA-cam, while I was looking for discussions on Foucault. I’m a retired college teacher and I so admire your ability to make complex topics easily understood and enjoyable. Thanks for this.
A brilliant, intellectual yet easy-to-understand video that brings this topic alive. Such clear and smooth diction makes it very enjoyable to listen to as well. Thank you!
Professor Gibbs, thank you for this awesome contribution! I’ve been studying critical discourse studies since my graduation and this video helped me so much.
thank you very much. Your videos on discourse analysis have helped tremendously for my dissertation!! Brilliant, excellent explanations, i love the discussions of the different schools of thought (eg: harvey sacks). I further researched their theories which also helped. Well organised lecture too.
Thanks Mr. Gibbs !!! Understanding DA is so fun, but when it comes to applying it, it really becomes a pickle. Hope this semester I'll succeed in using elements of DP :) Thanks again
I really appreciate you for uploading such a great introduction of discourse analysis. I am now studying SFL and my professor just throw me books like Analysing Discourse by Norman Fairclough in Japanese version lol. Can not wait to recommend this video to my classmates at sea.
I have been studying applied linguists' approaches to DA (Fairclough etc). So it's really useful to get this broader background. Thanks very much Graham!
Thank you for this great video. You have really helped me to understand this better, really clearly explained. I have watched once without making notes, I may come back with some questions! Thanks again.
I very much appreciate having free access to your material on UA-cam. In this talk I especially welcomed the historical background in your references to Wittgenstein and Austen. I have been reading Foucault's Archaeology of Knowledge and if one thing struck me about it that was its lack of context or history, as though Foucault was having to develop his ideas from first principles. Ironic really.
Was a very interesting lecture like experience when talking about the different types of discourse analysis. I particularly liked the talk on discursive psychology even from a sociological view it seems to have some ground to it and maybe sometime in the future, I would consider doing research into implicit meaning in a discursive psychological approach. I don't seem to find many relevant videos which can help in my studies so I appreciate the work you put into this video and best of luck in your future in devours.
Discursive psychology looks similar to cultural models school of cognitive anthropology, developed by late Roy D'Andrade and Naomi Quinn. And when it comes to language, structuralists also pointed out the constructive power of languages. Genette wrote that language signifies things without imitation, puting an end to old discussions and dilemmas of mimmesis and diegesis. Language and narratives reflect to certain extent power relations and dominant voices and perspectives in one's society, but that's not the same as language or any other semiotic system being descriptive or imitating of some pregiven reality.
Both of the lectures on D.A. are fantastic, thank you so much. Would it be possible to get the slides of each lecture as PDF in its comments? Thank you, thank you, thank you.
With the second conversation, I used to do that all the time with my children! I'd 'ask' but they knew that I was really telling them to do something - it just sounded nicer!!🤣😅
How is this psychology? This sounds more like a description/critique of language as only being descriptive... How much is the relevant for behaviour, thoughts and emotions of a person? Thanks 👍

Hi brook. I don't subscribe to the view that purveyors of social constructionism actually imply that everything is a social construction. Usually, ontology is moot and it's the epistemology that is of key importance. For example, to borrow an analogy from Nigel edley we all know where to find Nottingham on a map and we follow the directions etc like everyone else however what Nottingham is, its status as a city how it's borders are defined etc are constructed activities. I believe this is a more heartening way of seeing social constructionist.

Any book named "Psychiatry" should.
very clear and straight forward, my lecturers don't even talk about the method, tell us to look it up, so thank you, it helps a lot.
Your lecture highlights the most critical aspects of DA studies. Thank you so much
I truly appreciate the invaluable contribution you have made and continue to make to our academic lives all over the world. I savored every minute of the lecture. Thank U again!
Hi Graham, found this video a fantastic help in beginning to understand discourse for my PhD studies. Thank you.
Just happened to find you on UA-cam, while I was looking for discussions on Foucault. I’m a retired college teacher and I so admire your ability to make complex topics easily understood and enjoyable. Thanks for this.
Graham. You summarised that perfectly! Thank you for giving me the understanding, finally.
I just realised you are the creator of the reflective cycle!

Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful video.

Thank you Sir for this lecture! Very appreciated! /Anders from Sweden
Fantastic lecture! Thank you for sharing :)
Thank u professor Gibbs
Thank you, Sir!
Isn't that passive aggressive when Agnes is 'fishing'?
How is this psychology?
This sounds more like a description/critique of language as only being descriptive...
How much is the relevant for behaviour, thoughts and emotions of a person?
Thanks 👍
Well done
Very useful. Thank you
very helpful. thank you!
