Study of language in qualitative research - a discussion agenda

Based on Bryman and Bell (2011), I produce following discussion agenda on Language analysis in qualitative research:

1.  Fine-grained approaches
• Conversation analysis
• Discourse analysi
• Narrative analysi
• Rhetorical analysis
2. Context-sensitive approaches
• Critical discourse analysis as inspired by the works of Foucault.

This appears to me as a difficult subject. It takes time to learn.
