Discourse analysis is a broad and complex interdisciplinary field. It includes diverse theoretical and methodological approaches from linguistics, anthropology, and sociology. All approaches to discourse share a commitment to studying language in context. 但众所周知,“语境”是不确定的, and different approaches to 话语分析 emphasize different aspects of context as potentially relevant to understanding language use. Wortham's approach to 话语分析 draws primarily on work in linguistic anthropology, although the central insights were originally developed in sociology, anthropology, linguistics, and in fields beyond the human sciences ranging from literary criticism to philosophy.

In what Enrique Murillo and Sofia Villenas have called the “新拉丁裔侨民”— areas without traditional Latino presence to which Latinos have increasingly moved over the past 15 years—more positive models of immigrant identity often have space to take hold. 在拉丁人长期居住的地区, negative stereotypes about immigrant groups have often become entrenched. Mexican immigrants in these areas often confront physical and symbolic segregation along ethnic and class lines, and longstanding residents often employ beliefs and practices that have supported unequal ethnic relations.
