Discourse analysis (DA) is a broad term for various qualitative methods that explore the structure and expression of language within its social and cultural context. It looks at the linguistic content (what's said) and language use (how it's used) in a given text to convey meaning in different social settings.
By “going beyond the word or sentence,” discourse analysis aims to grasp how language structures both texts and social contexts. [2,3] The main goal of this qualitative research approach is to provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of language and “how it becomes meaningful to users.”[4]
So, discourse analysts explore how relationships between people can shape the language they use. And also how language presents different perspectives and understandings of the world, helping us understand how it can help create and maintain social reality, power relations, and even our own identities.

In discourse analysis, language can bridge one individual commencé conversation to science, technology, history, culture, managament, literature and economy.

Is discourse analysis the same as critical discourse analysis? also discusses the social context that can shape our opinions?😢

I want to analyse how the stance of a political party on a certain topic developed over time by analysing their political party programs. It seems rather logical to me to do this but I can't find any sources to back up doing it in this way. Could you provide me with some tips and sources regarding this issue? Basically to back up my method of going trough all party programs, coding them using a 3 point scale (positive, neutral, and negative towards the topic being discussed), and then looking how its stance developed towards a more positive, neutral, or negative stance on the subject discussed. Thank you in advance!

Thanks for your question! Analyzing political party programs to track changes in stance over time is a solid approach. Make sure to define clear criteria for positive, neutral, and negative stances and code consistently. Comparing documents from different periods will help you see the evolution. Also, consider the historical context for deeper insights. Good luck with your analysis!
