He's too busy today to do it himself.<br /><br />'Since Harris’s seminal 1952 work, developed by Garfinkel, practitioners of ‘discourse analysis’ have spread through the hallowed groves of academe like freshly released gametes spreading into warm, soggy Y-fronts. <br /><br />Scorning the hypotextual delusion that mentally encoded templates guide action, discourse analysis focusses on finding new ways for people who are too stupid to do statistics and who are much too important to collect data meticulously and systematically themselves and too talentless to get grants to pay other people to collect data for them, to gain promotion in their colleges anyway. <br /><br />By focussing on the foundational issue of how a description is built to present a course of action as following from a standardized routinening, they hope to turn out ‘journal articles’ based on ‘spoken text’ (discourse) provided to them by a strange man standing by a tree with his trousers around his ankles in Russell Square at two thirty five in the morning, and provided at a time when the author himself was in no position to contaminate the spontaneous protocol except with sounds that were prelinguistic.<br /><br />Discourse analysis conceives quantum singular geospatial intuition to be the source of all formal equivalence relations between countertexts. Accordingly, the output of its advocates has been compared to the plaintive cries of jellyfish on insanity peppers. <br /><br />Brief hope amongst military historians that discourse analysts' work on ‘sublanguage’ might reveal new meta-Enigma U-Boat codes devised by Grand Admiral Karl ‘Dunkin’ Doenitz was drowned when it became clear that this avenue of work was devoted entirely to identifying how to ask for a large sandwich.<br /><br />In sum, were discourse analysts to be possessed of any talent whatsoever they may have been about capable of reinventing the flat tyre. As it is, they merely suck.'Adrian Mountebanknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-38534429852413924572010-03-11T06:55:46.462+00:002010-03-11T06:55:46.462+00:00Wao what a very nice post. thanks for sharing it.....Wao what a very nice post. thanks for sharing it...Condolence Messageshttp://www.websmsmessages.com/text-sms-messages/Condolence-Message-sample.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-20806107982499606262010-03-11T06:30:43.020+00:002010-03-11T06:30:43.020+00:00I'm quite surprised posts mentioning "ana...I'm quite surprised posts mentioning "anal seepage" weren't immediately construed to be homophobic by somebody. <br /><br />Being called a fascist is par for the course when encountering any strident lefty just before he demands the right to remove your freedom of speech.Norton Folgatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852825967140111979noreply@blogger.com
