Summary
At the most general level, discourse studies can be characterized as ways of exploring the meanings produced by language use and communication, the contexts and processes of these meanings, and practices caused by these meanings (Jørgensen and Phillips, 2002; Unger, 2016; Fetzer, 2018). Discourse studies as research practices are essentially transdisciplinary and include different theoretical starting points and discipline-specific applications. Some of these approaches stress, for example, coherent and strict analysis of language, conversation, and interaction (Golato and Golato, 2018).
