== Discourse analysis ==
There is more than one type of [[discourse analysis]], and the definition of "discourse" shifts slightly between types. Generally speaking, discourse analyses can be divided into those concerned with "little d" discourse and "big D" Discourse. The former ("little d") refers to language-in-use, such as spoken communication; the latter ("big D") refers to sociopolitical discourses (language plus social and cultural contexts).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Gee |first=James P. |author-link=James Paul Gee |url=https://anekawarnapendidikan.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/an-introduction-to-discourse-analysis-by-james-paul-gee.pdf |title=An Introduction to Discourse Analysis: Theory and Method |via=Fernandes Arung |publisher=Taylor & Francis |year=2005 |edition=2nd |pages=7, 26 |language=en |access-date=March 23, 2024 |url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20240323232751/https://anekawarnapendidikan.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/an-introduction-to-discourse-analysis-by-james-paul-gee.pdf |archive-date= March 23, 2024 }}</ref>
