Arguments, opinions and statements that are represented as facts (‘truths’) supported by definitions, theories and contentions that are part of a particular discipline.

As a term, “
Discourse
” refers to a systematic and relational set of meaningful expressions such as speech and text, and semiotic elements such as signs and symbols that affect practices and express the values, behaviors and worldviews of social groups. On the other hand when taking into the consideration in social sciences the term can be discussed with the works of Ferdinand de Saussure, and the works of Michel Foucault. Meanwhile Ferdinand de Saussure approaches the term as focusing internal mechanisms of the language, Michel Foucault approaches the term in terms of external relations as focusing the effects of it in culture, society and politics (Munif, 2011: 159).
