Assess graduate students' ability to recall and define core terminology (e.g., turn-taking, repair, adjacency pairs, discourse markers, transitivity, intertextuality), identify seminal studies and key authors in conversation analysis (Sacks, Schegloff, Jefferson), critical discourse analysis (Fairclough, van Dijk, Wodak), and corpus-based discourse approaches (Biber, Baker), and distinguish the primary aims and methodological features of each tradition.
