Discourse Community Memo To:Tr i shSt ar es Fr om:J ennahFar nel l Dat e:Januar y20,2020 Re:Ex pl or i ngt hedi s cour s ecommuni t yofnur s i ngs t affi nahos pi t al . Introduction: Did you know a hospital is considered a discourse community? What is a discourse community? How is it related to a hospital? I am talking about this discourse community because I believe that it has helped me become the person that I am today. This is due to the great experiences I have had while being a part of the community as a patient. So I wanted to share why this is a discourse community and how you can achieve or give great experiences too.
