Discourse Analysis as Method – A State of Fear? Steve Yearley University of Edinburgh

Analysis of Scientific Discourse there are many forms of discourse analysis Mulkay and Gilbert introduce an expressly empirical form: ASD has a critique of SSK and a programme for empirical analyses

Analysis of Scientific Discourse two main repertoires empiricist and contingent each predominates in certain contexts leads to explorations of scientific culture

Activities this evening examine Crichton’s (pronunciation) text: the “Author’s Message” in particular make any observations you like about the argument, the good sense he displays (or otherwise) try some ASD

Activities this evening examine how he seems to know things examine how he accounts for the beliefs of others and how their attributes are presented note how evidence is displayed note the main categories of actors he invokes (like Al Gore’s “friends”) note how/whether he avoids contradictions Is it a successful discourse in its own terms?

The End
