Question:
let’s start with some definitions. Discourse, according to your textbook, means language in action or language for the purpose of doing something.
A discourse community is a group of people bound together by common goals with a common style of using language among its members.
Here’s a review of the six characteristics of a discourse community:
- a broadly agreed set of common public goals.
- mechanisms of intercommunication among its members (such as newsletters or journals).
- utilizes and hence possesses one or more genres in the communicative furtherance of its aims.
- uses its participatory mechanisms primarily to provide information and feedback. In addition to owning genres, has acquired some specific lexis.
- a threshold level of members with a suitable degree of relevant content and discoursal expertise.
