This document provides an introduction to discourse analysis. It defines discourse as focusing on naturally spoken language found in conversations and speeches. The goal of discourse analysis is to make explicit what is normally taken for granted and show how talking accomplishes things in people's lives. Examples are given of discourse types like argument, narration, description, and exposition. Discourse devices that can be analyzed include ambiguity, malapropisms, and discourse particles. The document instructs students to analyze the "Mock Turtle" excerpt using questions about discourse type, characters, context, meaning, and style.

Canons of Rhetoric: Speech Analysis
So what are the characteristics of an effective public speaker?
When beginning public speaking, students are asked the above question. It is often met with responses such as a strong voice, charisma, gestures, addressing the audience in a friendly tone, use of humor, and eye contact. These responses are very similar to one another; they are addressing a speaker's ability to perform for an audience. But this performance is complex, often including other important attributes, such as reasoning with solid information, explaining complex ideas clearly, and providing the audience a clear direction of where the presentation is heading.
Situations similar to this one are not uncommon. Many people think of public speaking as the ability to control nerves in front of a group but neglect considering the importance of having ideas well organized before presenting them or practicing a lot to reduce those nerves. Some people think that because they have apprehension about speaking in front a group, they are completely inept in a public speaking situation. They are often surprised to find out that they are only looking at one piece of the puzzle.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle and his contemporaries began writing about what has become the field of communication today. In writing about what was called the canons of rhetoric, they were laying the foundation for public speaking as we know it today.
Four canons, or categories of criticism, were established:
· invention,
· arrangement,
· style, and
· delivery.
Invention looks at the creation of ideas. When evaluating a speaker from this point of view, the critic may note whether or not the speaker was found to be an authority on the subject matter. This was known as ethos. The critic also may question the use of evidence presented by the speaker (known as logos) and whether the evidence seems to prove what the speaker leads the audience to think it proves. A speaker's credibility would be examined under this canon, and though opinion based, it plays an important role in a speaker's success.
Questions asked under the invention canon might include the following:
· How well informed is this speaker?
· Does the speaker support claims with reliable evidence that is current and from a credible source?
Arrangement allows a critic to analyze the components of a presentation to determine whether or not they accomplish what the speaker intends. For example, a strong introduction usually allows the speaker to capture the audience's attention, to address a central message concisely, and to provide the audience with a clear sense of what path the presentation will be taking. A critic looking at arrangement would be examining the arrangement of ideas and how they contribute to the overall message the speaker intends.
Questions for this canon might include the following:
· Were things presented in a way that was easy to understand and follow?
· Do the introduction, body, and conclusion .

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
6. Discourse Analysis
Is an attempt to interpret what the writer
or speaker intended to say.
It focuses on naturally spoken language
as found in conversations, interviews,
commentaries and speeches
Its aim is to make explicit what normally
gets taken for granted; it is also to show
what talking accomplishes in people’s
lives and in society at large
7. Discourse Analysis Example
Mother: Are they your shoes in the
family room?
Daughter: Yes (continues to text her
friend)
Is the mother really just asking a
question?
Is the mother’s question ambiguous?
Has the daughter chosen to take
advantage of the ambiguity of her
mother’s question?

◦ argument – the writer / speaker is
attempting to convince an audience that
his or her opinion is correct, typically by
using logic and appealing to the
audience’s sense of reason
◦ narration - to tell a story, often in order to
make the audience feel differently about a
certain topic

mood or create a certain type of
atmosphere

particular topic
12. What are Discourse Devices?
Discourse devices – examples:
◦ ambiguity – word possibly has more than
one meaning
◦ malapropisms – using an incorrect word
in place of one that is similar in
pronunciation
◦ discourse particles – filler words used to
give the speaker time to think without
losing their turn in the conversation
◦ italics – can provide emphasis

What type of discourse is Mock
Turtle?
What tells us it is a conversation?
Who are the characters?
Who is the intended audience?

Editor's Notes
The Gryphon and the Mock Turtle are the first inhabitants of Wonderland that Alice can comfortably relate to, but she finds she cannot escape the nonsense logic that dominates their behavior. The Gryphon and Mock Turtle speak directly and have peaceable manners. They become the closest thing to friends that Alice has encountered thus far on her travels. The Gryphon chuckles at the Queen and deflates her authority by explaining that she never actually goes through with the executions she orders. Alice finds comfort in the fact that her two new companions are able to step back and critically observe the unusual aspects of Wonderland. Additionally, the Gryphon and Mock Turtle have had lives that at least bear some resemblance to Alice’s. The description of sea school reminds Alice of her own education, even though the subjects studied there are puns on the type of studies Alice might have pursued in school. However, the Gryphon and Mock Turtle inevitably begin speaking nonsense. Alice finds herself at an impasse when they fail to address the question about what happens when the lessons “lessen” to nothing. Though she has found creatures she feels comfortable with, she cannot understand them no matter how hard she tries.
