Incommensurable Discourses?
Pennycook, Alastair
Applied Linguistics, v15 n2 p115-38 Jun 1994
Examines the different meanings of the term discourse, comparing the common use of discourse analysis in applied linguistics with its use both in critical discourse analysis and in a Foucauldian use of the term. An attempt is made to show how these different approaches imply profoundly different understandings of the relationship between language, the individual, ideology, and society. (MDM)
