examples of language discourse?

my answering your question is an example of language discourse.   The question and answer together is an example of written language discourse on the internet.  But this example is closer to spoken language because language on the internet i.e. technologized discourse , tends to veer more towards the spoken form of language rather than formal structure of written language.

Discourse markers are linguistic expressions used to signal the relation of an utterance to its immediate context, with the primary function of bringing to the listener's attention a particular kind of linkage of the upcoming utterance with the immediate discourse context (Redeker, 1990).\n\nSome examples of discourse markers in English are: "well", "now", '"actually", and "OK".\n\nA conversation is "much less lively and less 'personal' without [discourse markers] signalling receipt of information, agreement and involvement." (Stenstrom, 1994:17).\n\nDiscourse markers are used in the prompts of automated telephone service dialogues in order to create and maintain this sense of a more lively and personal relationship with the user.

Yes.\n\nFigurative language uses "figures of speech" - a way of saying something other than the literal meaning of the words.\n\nHere is a great chart and explanation of the different types: http://www.frostfriends.org/figurative.html

It is called a discourse analysis or critical textual analysis and it is complex issue. Many universities have a courses on it, so it is not so easy to give a couple of advices. However, the principle you can start with is to analyze sentence by sentence, word by word. First of all you need to define notions used in some speech like nation, democracy, freedom, collateral damage etc. Try to find their real meaning and compare its using in a concrete speech. You will be surprised how their meanings vary dependently of context they are used in and how authors manipulate with them. Good luck!

Norliza, I wish I could give you a specific, up-t0-date answer. Unfortunately, I do not have my texts with me here. I suggest that you search for texts that deal with an overview of language methodologies. Look up "language methods" or "language methodologies". Go into the main language publication companies such as Heinle and Heinle, Cambridge Books; Oxford Texts. I also suggest the following texts: "Innovative Approaches to Language Teaching" by R. Blair, 1982 (It's an old text but should contain direct method) and "Making it Happen: Interaction in the second language classroom" by P.S. Richard-Amato, 1988. You also might check the authors Richards and Omaggio. I wish I could give you more up to date references, but these are the ones I used when I did my degree. All the best in your TESOL work.
