Discourse analysis (DA) is a broad term for various qualitative methods that explore the structure and expression of language within its social and cultural context. It looks at the linguistic content (what's said) and language use (how it's used) in a given text to convey meaning in different social settings.

By “going beyond the word or sentence,” discourse analysis aims to grasp how language structures both texts and social contexts. [2,3] The main goal of this qualitative research approach is to provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of language and “how it becomes meaningful to users.”[4]

So, discourse analysts explore how relationships between people can shape the language they use. And also how language presents different perspectives and understandings of the world, helping us understand how it can help create and maintain social reality, power relations, and even our own identities.
