Abstract	2.1 AN OVERVIEW OF DISCOURSE ANALYSIS 2.1.1 The Definition of Discourse Analysis In the study of language, some of the most interesting questions arise in connection with the way language is 'used', rather than what its components are. We were, in effect, asking how is that language-users interpret what other language-users intend to convey. When we carry this investigation further and ask how is that we, as language-users, make sense of what we read in texts, understand what as opposed to jumbled or incoherent discourse, and successfully take part in that complex activity called conversation, we are undertaking what is known as discourse analysis. The analysis of discourse is necessarily, the analysis of language in use. As such, it cannot be restricted to the description of linguistic forms independently to the purposes or functions which those forms are designed to serve in human affairs. While some linguists may concentrate on determining the formal properties of a language is used for. While the formal approach has a long tradition, manifested in innumerable volumes of grammar, the functional approach is less well documented. Attempts to provide even a general set of labels for principal functions of language have resulted in vague, and often confusing, terminology. The term discourse analysis is very ambiguous. It can refer to the linguistic analysis of naturally occurring connected spoken or written discourse.
