The theories of discourse analysis

Consider the theories of discourse analysis studied so far in this course and how they might be applied to the
discourse to better understand the author’s intention, the work’s meaning, and possible interpretations by
readers. For this assignment, you will submit a formal outline for the Final Paper. Your outline will include a
tentative thesis statement that asserts how language is used to convey a particular social message or agenda.
Propose a tentative thesis that states how language is used persuasively, offensively, effectively, or ineffectively
in the discourse sample to convey a particular social message or agenda.
Identify at least four theories of discourse analysis outlined in your course textbook and other required
resources that you will use to analyze the discourse sample in the Final Paper.
Outline at least five topic sentences that support the thesis.
Include at least two subtopics that elaborate on each topic sentence.
