Life is a constant flow of discourse within cultural contexts. An ordinary day will likely start with some form of discourse, whether spoken or written. Learning to engage in discourse is one of the most important goals of language learning, as a discourse analyst studies both the text and the relationship between the text and the context in which it arises. Critical discourse analysis focuses on the connection between language, ideology, power, and how discourse influences sociocultural change.
