...“Discourse analysis looks for patterns of relationships resulting from interdependence between text content, structures, processes, and behaviours” (Cataldi, 2004). Over the years, discourse analysis has been used differently depending on the nature of research and the preference of the theorist. Whilst some theorisers favour “analysis of isolated texts” others prefer “analysis of systems of texts” (Karlberg, 2012). Other slants to discourse analysis include the structural analysis, synchronic versus diachronic analysis, and critical discourse analysis, amongst others (McKinlay & McVittie, 2008). To briefly explicate on some of the approaches that have implicative connection to this study; whilst the synchronic analysis emphasises a definite moment in time, the diachronic analysis favours a historical perspective (Brinton, 2001). A more pertinent approach is the critical discourse analysis, which is predicated on the theoretical assumption that popular mutual communicative patterns on a particular facet of reality implicates the social behaviours relating to that facet of reality (Karlberg, 2012). This presupposes that people are likely to behave in a way that mirrors the subject of the popular discourse in the society. In context therefore, the critical discourse analysis approach suggests that national discourse can affect behavioural patterns of individuals in the family or the family as a collective. And as Karlberg (2012) submits, the relationship between national discourse and social behaviour is dialectical, which means each influences the other (Karlberg, 2012)....
