The document discusses discourse analysis and the differences between spoken and written language. It summarizes that discourse analysis focuses on language beyond the sentence level. It notes that language serves both a transactional function of expressing content and an interactional function of expressing social relations and attitudes.

- 30. Discourse analysis is an umbrella term for all those studies within applied linguistics which focus on units/stretches of language beyond the sentence level (Judit, 2012). We as the human is use a natural language utterance which language serves in the expression of 'content' described as transactional and that function involved in expressing social relations and personal attitudes we describe as interactional. Spoken and written language has relation each other. But written language and spoken language have different form. The book concerns with sentence which is 'text-sentence‘, so it will connected to behavior and involves contextual considerations. The data which is used in this book is based on the linguistic output of someone other than the analyst. Besides, discourse analyst discovers regularities in his data. Conclusion
