12/11/03: This document only contained the linguistic dimension of discourse. I tried to put in something about the social aspect of the term. Please improve my humble opening!
What the hell does discourse mean? There is no simple (or even complex) definition given
Agreed, this is convoluted and whoever wrote this forgot to mention what it means.
-- As with so many other philosophical terms, there is no clear-cut definition of discourse - only various author's reference to the word. I'd dare say that, in most contexts, it is very similar to 'language' though, except broader in scope. The article does hint this, mentioning Habermas' "rules upon which speakers could agree on a groundworks consensus". Discourse can also refer to more abstract things like conventions and norms. Generally, discourse is the stuff that defines what can be said about a matter, as far as I understand. --213.237.94.61 15:15, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Ryerson University's MSW program has a course called "Critical Perspectives on Marginalization". One of our assignments was to go on wikipedia and look up words that relate to the course and edit or create new articles. We are then asked to critique the existing article and our edits. We decided to post our new version of DISCOURSE and see what wikipedia has to say! we welcome all feedback!

How's discourse related to context? Could something useful be said about that? Kaol 21:06, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] cleanup
"Habermas trying to find the transcendent rules upon which speakers could agree"
Are the rules, he is trying to find transcendent or transcendental? --Lynxmb 11:28, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Circular reference
Why is this article referencing an earlier version of itself? While this might be motivated in some rather special cases, it seems rather circular here. Is this because of some earlier merger with another article? Should it be removed?
