What are the types of discourse analysis?

Discourse analysis is a research methodology that examines the use of language in communication, both spoken and written. There are several types of discourse analysis, each of which approaches language in different ways. Some popular types of discourse analysis include social, linguistic, critical, and multimodal approaches. Social discourse analysis focuses on how language is used in social contexts and the ways in which social identities are constructed through language. Linguistic discourse analysis examines the structural and linguistic features of language use. Critical discourse analysis considers how language reinforces social power dynamics and inequality. Multimodal discourse analysis explores how different modes of communication (such as images, text, and sound) are used together to create meaning.
