Response Blog: continued from first part (got cut off)

QD: 3. Discourse with a capital D 'saying (writing) -doing-being-valuing-believing combinations. Discourse with a little "d" means connected stretches to language that make sense.
4. Primary Discourse - One we first use to make sense of the world and interact with others.
Secondary Discourse- After home community, each of us interacts with various non-home-based social institutions.
Dominant Discourse- Secondary discourses bring acquisition of social "gods"
Non dominant Discourse- Secondary discourses which often bring solidarity with particular social network.
5. Failing to fulfill this you do not have an identity you are a pretender or beginner. If you have a lack of fluency it makes you a non-member of a discourse community.
6. Discourses always involve more than reading and writing. You are growing their ability to say, do value, and believe.
7. Many middle-class do stress superficial features of language.
8. They happen so that the group knows if they relate to them or not. A benefit would be they know they are close with others in a group.
11. Metaknowlede is the sum of what has been perceived or discovered and is valued for the successful students and social change.

AEI: 2. Since birth, I have belonged to a primary discourse of being in my family and we all have the value and the communication that is between us. Where in an academic setting it is going to be different because we are not going to be communicating the same way and we feel that we need to sound as prestigious as we can.
4. Different discourses are going to have different values and beliefs, but you navigate by just knowing those values and beliefs in the discourse community at the time.

Reflection: Just like with Swales I thought this was longer, but I did grasp a better understanding from this piece then the others.

  1. My AE1 response was very similar to your response by saying that communication with your family was your primary discourse
