Yaps,discourse is the use of spoken or written language in a social context. In linguistics, discourse refers to a unit of language longer than a single sentence. This definition not completely if we dont related with experts. According to:
1. "The term discourse is also used to refer to meanings at the more macro level. This approach does not study the individual words spoken by people but the language used to describe aspects of the world, and has tended to be taken by those using a sociological perspective."
2. "Discourse in context may consist of only one or two words as in stop or no smoking. Alternatively, a piece of discourse can be hundreds of thousands of words in length, as some novels are. A typical piece of discourse is somewhere between these two extremes."
How about Analysis?? Yeah, analysis is familiar. But, what the definition of analysis?
Analysis is the kind of thinking you'll most often be asked to do in your work life and in school. In fact, one of the most common of our mental activity.
If we combine discourse and analysis, what is the fully definition? I mean definition of DISCOURSE ANALYSIS (:

1.Discourse Analysis(DA), or discourse studies, is a general term for a number of approaches to analyze written, vocal, or sign language use, or any significant semiotic event.
2.Discourse analysis is a broad term for the study of the ways in which language is used in text and context Also called discourse studie.
3.Discourse according to Foucault is related to power as it operates by rules of exclusion. Discourse therefore is controlled by objects, what can be spoken of; ritual, where and how one may speak; and the privileged, who may speak. Coining the phrases power-knowledge.
4.Discourse analysis is sometimes defined as the analysis of language 'beyond the sentence'. This contrasts with types of analysis more typical of modern linguistics, which are chiefly concerned with the study of grammar: the study of smaller bits of language, such as sounds (phonetics and phonology), parts of words (morphology), meaning (semantics), and the order of words in sentences (syntax). Discourse analysts study larger chunks of language as they flow together.
5.Discourse is written as well as spoken every utterance assuming the a speaker and a hearer as discourse.
6. Discourse studies, says Jan Renkema, refers to "the discipline devoted to the investigation of the relationship between form and function in verbal comunication."
7. Discourse is ways of constituting knowledge, together with the social practices, forms of subjectivity and power relations which inhere in such knowledges and relations between them.Discourses are more than ways of thinking and producing meaning.
8.Discourse is a form of power that circulates in the social field and can attach to strategies of domination as well as those of resistance.
9.Discourse is the way in which language is used socially to convey broad historical meanings. It is language identified by the social conditions of its use, by who is using it and under what conditions. Language can never be 'neutral' because it bridges our personal and social worlds.
10.Discourse is a continuous stretch of (especially spoken) language larger than a sentence, often constituting a coherent unit such as a sermon, argument, joke, or narrative.
