Abstract
Connections to other chaptersMethods used for qualitative analysis treat language as a resource that has agency to shape societal practices and institutions.By using certain words or phrases, language and discourse convey certain power relations and influence worldviews, societal forms and actions.By analysing how language and other forms of non-textual representation (such as descriptions, accounts, opinions, feelings) are being used in various contexts, this chapter links well to Chapter 5 (Systems scoping), Chapter 7 (Interviews and surveys), Chapter 8 (Participatory data collection), Chapter 9 (Facilitated dialogues), Chapter 10 (Futures analysis), Chapter 11 (Scenario development) and Chapter 20 (Comparative case study analysis).The set of methods proposed in this chapter are all well equipped to discover trends in how content is developed and knowledge generated.
