Dear Chris, <br>
You can download a collection of syllabi that others have used to teach
similar modules on<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.discourse-analysis.de/pages/syllabi.php">http://www.discourse-analysis.de/pages/syllabi.php</a><br>
"Syllabi and materials for teaching Discourse Analysis in higher
education".<br>
<br>
The structure I've used for the last couple of years is to spend a
couple of sessions on 'theory', clarifying the shared/divergent
epistemological positions of the various approaches to discourse
analysis, then turn to close-analysis of particular case studies.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span
lang="EN-GB"></span></span></span>Hope you find something useful.
Perhaps you'd send me your syllabus to include in a future edition of
the "Syllabi" collection?!<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
Flyss<br>

Colleagues,
<br>
<br>
I am currently in the process of drawing up a level 2 undergraduate
<br>
module called Language, Law and Politics. The course looks at language
<br>
in use in criminal and political contexts. I get 5/6 weeks to cover
Political Linguistics (or CDA) and was after advice based on your
experiences about how to rganise/structure the weekly topics.
<br>
<br>
For example, by identifiable approaches within CDA (critical
linguistics, sociocultural, discourse-historical, sociocognitive,
critical metaphor research), genres (parliamentary debates, political
speeches, manifestos, broadcast interviews, print news articles),
strategies (referential, predicational, proximisation, mitigating,
denial) or structures(agentless passives, nominalisations, modals,
evidentials, metaphors, metonymies, conditionals).
<br>
<br>
Any similar advice on Forensic Linguistis also welcome. I.e., organise
by genres, case studies, or concepts like authorship, authenticity and
veracity.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Best,
<br>
Chris
