There are three different definitions for the word discourse. These three include 1. communication of thought by words; talk; conversation, 2. a formal discussion of a subject in speech or writing, as a dissertation, treatise, sermon, etc., 3. Linguistics . any unit of connected speech or writing longer than a sentence. Discourse Analysis is a general term for a number of approaches to analyzing written, spoken, signed language use or any significant semiotic event.
Discourse would be helpful to me as a method because being an author you have to have formal way of writing and everything has to connect and make sense. An author has to make sure the language of the characters is genuine and everything that pertains to the novel written clearly.
