This dataset illustrates an approach to using Critical Discourse Analysis. The data are provided by Dr. Anne-Marie Callus from the Department of Disability Studies, Faculty for Social Wellbeing, University of Malta. They are taken from interviews conducted between 2009 and 2011 with persons with intellectual disability and non-disabled persons who work with them. The extracts presented focus on what these interviewees said about their understanding of "intellectual disability." The Student Guide provides an example of how to analyse not only what they talked about but how they talked about it, taking into account the words they use, non-verbal aspects of talk, and the sociocultural context they are speaking in. The dataset file is accompanied by a Teaching Guide and a Student Guide
