I understood that the word "discourse" is language we use when we speak or write.For example, our discourse in a classroom is different from our discourse when we are home. I didnt really understand what is the difference between discourse and Lexis. What I undertood as lexis to be is a specific vocabulary like how certain words are used in a discourse. Community discourse is group of people who speak about a certain topic who use a specific lexis.
