    You asking about Wikipedia? Because that's just an online encyclopedia thing.

    The bane of my life in my final year. I used discourse analysis as one of my methods on my dissertation. It's very very difficult to define which is one of the good things about it. In the end I basically took it to mean: "looking at something in depth and analysing every bit of it." I was analysing newspaper articles on binge drinking, so I looked at the type of language used, whether there were references to other things in the types of words used. That sort of thing.

    I was asking about Discourse, I'm sure there was something with a name along those lines that asked you 101 questions and then told you what jobs you should do. I'm obviously not thinking about the right thing here though.
