These comments and questions were gathered during the presentation and discussion:

Does discourse studies include linguistic and non-linguistic/paralinguistic features

Is discourse studies a newer term than discourse analysis?

Is discourse studies a Western concept?

what is the difference between interactional and discourse studies in linguistics?

What are valid ways of knowing in discourse studies? What are the main accepted methods /techniques to establish credible and reliable findings in discourse research?

Do discourse studies value oral traditions, non-text based languages

Can someone examine a different culture from their own from the outside? Do you need to focus on your own discourse community?

Is discourse analysis strictly scientific, or is it also philosophy?

It also seems that Discourse Studies/Analysis is still in the making. Or it is open for improvisations and experiments.

How has discourse studies evolved as a field in an increasingly multimodal world

How efficiently can DA be conducted in postmodern realm of ideas?
This evokes a similar question in my mind: to what extent are DA approaches relevant within a posthumanist approach?

Would discourse analysis be a powerful tool when the participants are the 'muted', the 'subaltern', who do not verbalize or articulate what they do

What is the role of the of semioses in Discourse Studies nowadays?

Could we afford to make categorical demarcations between discursive and non-discursive practices?

How can the balance of power antinomies be maintained while engaging in conducting CDA?

Foucault said that "discourse in general and scientific discourse in particular, is so complex a reality that we not only can but should approach it at different levels and with different methods".

To what extent is conversation analysis (CA) diffrent/similiar to/from discourse analysis (DA)?

How can we use the DA methods to understand the evolution of abstract concepts such as ideology, activism…?

There seems to be an ambiguity in the role of the discourse analyst. In order to subvert a power structure through his deconstructive work, he needs to gain a strong subject position in the scientific power discourse. How do you deal with this double bind?

What are the challenges of discourse analysis ?
