1. What is the discourse study?

From the third paragraph, I get the conclusion what the discourse study is. Discourse study is the interpretation about spoken, written texts, and signed languages. In discourse also involving about verbal and non verbal materials. Discourse study is closed with the text form and it is more than the meaning from the written or spoken texts but involving communicative event.  Discourse study is related with the humanities and social sciences.  So, discourse study is analyze all about the spoken or written from the people involving text form, grammar, coherent in each sentence, the meaning from individual and how the situational when a texts is analyzed. Discourse study also studies the text forming devices.
