Discourse analysis does not attempt to reveal psychological universals but rather is concerned with the social context in which subjects' responses are generated. Instead of studying the mind as if it were outside language, psychologists using discourse analysis study the spoken and written texts where images of the mind are reproduced and transformed. "Discourse Analytic Research" is designed to meet the growing need among undergraduate and postgraduate psychology students for clear illustrations of discourse analytic work and to provide an empirically demonstrable critique of traditional psychological approaches.
