discourse community. This will lead you to suitable places to conduct
your research and will assist you in communicating with your audience in

To complete this assessment, consider the discourse communities or
groups of people with whom you share common interests. Consider the
individuals that discuss topics important to the group.

  • List all learning and social discourse communities that you are member of.

Respond to the questions below in an essay that provides an analysis of your discourse communities.

  • What topics of discussion, issues, problems, or concerns keep
    these communities together? What constitutes new knowledge for your
    group? Is it created experimentally, through discussion, or through a
    combination of these two and other methods?
  • How would you characterize the kinds of language which each of
    these communities use? Is it formal, informal, complex, simple, and so
    on? How are the community’s reasons for existence you listed in the
    first question reflected in their language?
  • When you entered into the community, did you have to change your
    discourse, both oral and written, in any way, to be accepted and to
    participate in the discussions of the community?
  • Does your community or group produce any written documents? These
    may include books, professional journals, newsletters, and other
    documents. What is the purpose of those documents, their intended
    audience, and the language that they use? How different are these
    documents from one community to the next?
  • How often does a community you belong to come into contact with
    other intellectual and discourse groups? What kinds of conversations
    take place? How are conflicts and disagreements negotiated and resolved?
    How does each group adjust its discourse to hear the other side and be
    heard by it?

Validate your statements and opinions with supporting evidence (citations and references) in APA form.
