In Chapter 18, “Discovering Discourses, Tackling Texts”, Ian Parker proposes a discursive methodology that deals with different levels of discourse – any discourse. You are required to choose three steps in Parker’s model of discourse analysis and apply them to only one of the following three international events taking place at the present time: the war in Ukraine, the COP 27 climate conference in Egypt or the US Mid-Term elections. You’re thus required to treat only one of these events using three criteria (out of seven) of discourse analysis proposed by Ian Parker.
